From The Irwin Index newspaper, Saturday 30 July 1938:
Obituary - Late Mr Robert Walter Connolly - A Popular Arrino Resident
"Quite a gloom was cast over the Arrino and Three Springs district on Sunday last, when it was learned that Mr Robert Walter Connolly had passed away at the North Midlands District Hospital at Three Springs. The deceased gentleman, who was an extremely popular figure, had been a resident of Arrino for about sixteen years, and during that period he made an extremely large circle of friends. The late Mr Connolly was originally farming at Dudawa, but following the death of his wife some years ago he transferred with his family of five daughters and one son to Arrino and established a petrol depot in the township. In common with other members of the family, he always displayed a prominent part in the social and sporting life of the community. He was of a genial disposition, always ready to lend a helping hand in social or public affairs, and more particularly if children were concerned. He was a life member of the Arrino Football Club, and a vestryman of the Anglican church, and his genial and helpful personality will be greatly missed on all sides. The funeral took place at Three Springs on Monday last, the remains being first removed from the North Midlands Hospital to St. James Church for a brief choral service, and the large gathering representing all parts of the district testified in no uncertain manner to the popularity of the deceased gentleman. Following the service at the church the cortege wended its way to the cemetery, where another service was conducted by the Rev. A. J. Toomey. The pall-bearers were Messrs V. Ferguson, C. E. Maley, E. Fawcett, N. Stokes, H. J. Stacey, J. K. Allen, J. H. Bradshaw and L. Hellewell, and the funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr H. E. Thomas of Three Springs. A large number of beautiful floral tributes were laid upon the grave, amongst them being those from the Cousins Family, Daughters, Son (Cyril) and Sons-in law, Marie and Brian (grandchildren), Claude and Florrie [Maley] and family, "Bellaranga," Arrino Football Club, R. Fogarty and family, Mr and Mrs A. Saggers, Mr and Mrs A. Bowtell and family, Mr and Mrs W. G. Jordan, Mr and Mrs E. W. Franklin, The Hoar Family, Mr and Mrs Colin Smith, "Little Friends" in Arrino District, Mr Allan Money, Mr and Mrs J. H. Bradshaw, Mrs [Sara] and Ethel Maley, Mr and Mrs E. J. Pearse, Girls of Three Springs Hotel, Mr and Mrs E. Kennedy, Mr and Mrs V. Tippett, Mr Jack Sheedy, Mr and Mrs H. Sweetman, Mrs E. and C. Dodd, Mr Philip McCagh, Three Springs Road Board, Arrino Tennis Club, Mr and Mrs Alf Hunter and family, Mr Vern Ferguson, Mr and Mrs E. Hunt and family, Mr and Mrs T. K. Allan, Dr and Mrs Mayrhofer, Mr and Mrs J. Turner, Mrs McCagh and John, Mr and Mrs C. F. Thomas jun and family, Mr and Mrs C. F. Thomas sen and family, Mrs E. Turner and family and Miss Carroll, Mr and Mrs H. J. Stacey, Mrs McNeill and family, Mr and Mrs L. Hellewell and Bob and Dorothy, Mr and Mrs S. G. Stokes and family, Mr and Mrs Pearse and family, Mr and Mrs W. Muttter and family, Mr W. B. and E. Sweetman and Mrs Angel. As a mark of respect to the deceased gentleman and his family, members of the Arrino Football Club did not journey to Coorow on Sunday last to fulfil a fixture scheduled to be played against the home club at that centre."

Born 20 January 1838 in Perth, Western Australia [199]
Son of John Taylor COOKE and Mary Anne MORGAN [199]
His father worked as a Builder and Contractor and also managed a number of properties in the Northam district [199]
He was born, grew up and resided on his father's Newleyine Farm in Northam [199]
Lived with his parents in a two story house of brick and mahogany built by his father on Newleyine Farm in Northam [199]
His father acquired a 10,000 acre lease on the Irwin River, and in 1857 sent himself and his younger brother Henry to the Irwin [199]
They departed on 15 October 1857 with a bullock team loaded with provisions, 1,000 sheep and three saddle horses [199]
From Northam they travelled via the New Norica Mission, Dandaragan, Yatheroo, Mumbacaan, and then to the coast [199]
They then followed the coast to the Irwin River, and then up the river where they camped at Mannerer Pool near Mullara Hill [199]
Arrived at Mannerer Pool on 24 December 1857, by which time they had lost 100 sheep who'd eaten a poisonous plant [199]
The flock of sheep had developed scab disease, and after dipping them in tobacco water they left them in charge of a shepherd [199]
On the return journey they took an inland route, as they'd been told if they were good bushmen it could shorten their journey [199]
During their journey they passed Arrino Spring and Carnamah - a route that later became the overland track to Geraldton [199]
After assisting their father himself and his brother returned to the sheep on the Irwin River in March 1958 in time for lambing [199]
In May 1858 his brother Henry took charge of the sheep at Irwin while he went exploring for pastoral country to the north east [199]
He went to look at good pastoral country some Aboriginal People had spoken about 60 miles north east of Mount Mulura [199]
They inspected and traversed the country through what is now Gullewa, Mugamogoo and Yalgoo but took up no land [199]
A short time later they moved their sheep from the Irwin River to Arrino Spring, and visited them periodically from Northam [199]
In May 1862 explored land to the east looking for pastoral country, and passed Damperwah, Rothsay, Penjalling and Nangagetty [199]
During the expedition he saw Mount Singleton/Ningham in the distance [199]
He took up no land himself, but made full particulars of the class of land known to any other settlers who were interested [199]
Married Catherine BIRKETT in Northam in 1864 [15]
Farmer and Grazier of Arrino Station in Arrino 1864-1879 [184]
In the same year that himself and Catherine were married they left Northam and took up residence in Arrino [199]
Believed to have named his station after the Aboriginal name for nearby springs, believed to mean "many granite hills" [184]
They resided on Arrino Station in a solid stone house a short distance from Arrino Spring [103]
During his Fifth Expedition in 1876 the explorer Ernest GILES visited him and his family at Arrino Station [159]
In 1876 two rooms were constructed in the south-west corner of his homestead's courtyard for a telegraph and post office [103]
A telegraph office operated on the property from 1876 to 1880, and initially at least it was run by his wife [103] [159]
He had various large pastoral leases in 1879 in what later became the Arrino and Three Springs districts [111]
Among his leases was Lease 9672 of 17,500 acres which included the Three Springs, after which the district was later named [111]
While living at Arrino he made excursions and explorations into numerous unknown parts of Western Australia [199]
Years later Sir John FORREST in his explorations found a trig or cairn on which was cut on the stone "N.W.C. 1864" [199]
Sir John FORREST is said to have said "will I ever find a place where this man has not been before me?" [199]
In 1909, Sir John FORREST said "there was no man more entitled to £1,000 per year for what he had done for the country" [199]
Transported 2,290 sheep and some cattle from Geraldton to Roebuck Bay for T. & L. C. Burgess of the Roebuck Pastoral Coy. [199]
The sheep and cattle were loaded onto the ship Hastings at Geraldton and offloaded at Cape Villaret in November 1864 [199]
While in the locality he took advantage and explored the land in and around Cape Villaret [199]
In 1865 explored past the coal seam onto the north branch of the Irwin River and through to Cocateer, Yewin and Chingawah [199]
During this expedition he saw the Sturt Desert Pea for the first time, and afterwards returned to his home at Arrino [199]
Later in 1865 left in search of pastoral country and passed Dampawah, Rothsay, Pingalling, Wanjajetty and Mount Kenneth [199]
From Mount Kenneth he then went north east for 150 miles to a large marsh opposite the high hill Mount Holmes [199]
He then travelled towards Mount Magnet and passed Mugammuga and Karrogabby on his return to Arrino [199]
In 1872 himself and his brother Henry established cattle station Mount Singleton Station / Ningham Station at Mount Singleton [199]
During one of his visits to the station he explored to the north east and passed Lake Moore and Lake Barlee near Menzies [199]
On the way back to the station he passed Lake Giles, Mount Churchman and good salt bush country but which lacked water [199]
In 1878 travelled to the Murchison River to examine the class of land and to check on sheep he had at Ilgabeddee [199]
From Geraldton he travelled to Tibraddon and then up the Greenough River passing Yewin, Nocawarra and Mt. Mathon [199]
Went via Mount Hall, to the sheep at Ilgabeddee, and then to Mount Gould, Mount Fraser and Mount La Bouchette [199]
From there he went as straight as possible to travel to his and his brother's Mount Singleton Station, and then home to Arrino [199]
In 1879 sold his freehold, leasehold and pastoral interests in Arrino, Three Springs and Mount Singleton [199]
Travelled to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia in 1880 to attend the International Exhibition, and with plans to settle in New Zealand [199]
Finding no openings to his satisfaction he briefly settled with his wife and children at Glenelg in South Australia [199]
Returned to Western Australia, however periodically visited his wife and children in South Australia [199]
Took an exploration trip to the north west of Western Australia and in 1881 selected land 65 miles east of Roebourne [199]
Established Mallina Station 65 miles east of Roebourne, which he stocked with 4,000 sheep and the necessary horses [199]
He named the station Mallina after a pool within the Peawah River, which the local Aboriginal People called Mallina [184] [199]
Also in 1881 himself and Arthur GROUSE travelled to the coast, starting at Inthanoona which was 75 miles from Roebourne [199]
With five horses they travelled to De Grey Station, Innerdong, along the 90 Mile Beach, to Wallal and then Newine [199]
Later in 1881 himself and Edmund KEENAN travelled from Mallina to Coongan River, where he took up good pastoral country [199]
During the expedition he discovered the marble bar that crossed the Coongan River and named the place Marble Bar [199]
Also named a small lake Keenan's Pool (later known as Round Hole) and named a hill Mount Solitary (now Mount Edgar) [199]
While looking for some of his sheep in 1881 he discovered copper and established the Whim Creek Copper Mine [199]
In 1882 himself, Sam CAMPBELL and an Aboriginal named Sam originally from Arrino set off on an exploration of the unknown [199]
They left from Mallina and passed the Turner River, Shaw River and saw the Hamersley Ranges in the distance [199]
Named Emu Spring and twice crossed the Nullagine River, the second crossing being where the Nullagine townsite later stood [199]
When on a business trip to Roebourne he revealed that he believed the country around Nullagine was gold bearing [199]
He suggested they form a syndicate and send a prospector to the Nullagine River, but the locals laughed at the idea [199]
In 1884 he traversed more unexplored country, and carved his initials and the year on a tree at the mouth of Christmas Creek [199]
Also in 1884 shifted his wife and children from South Australia to Woodlands homestead near Fremantle, Western Australia [199]
Himself and trustworthy Aboriginal named Sam explored and named landmarks they discovered in an expedition in 1886 [199]
They passed through Inthanoona, Sherlock River, Mount Florence, Mount Macpherson, Chookawallie Pool and Oakover [199]
He named Ethel Creek after his eldest daughter, Roy Hill after his youngest son, and Mount Lewin after his eldest son [199]
Also named Mount Sam after his Aboriginal employee and friend Sam (later renamed Mount Cooke by Frank HANN) [199]
