Biography

Buried by Archibald Martin and Charles David Loing (?). Early in January, a worried Aboriginal had arrived at the Dunham to report that Winn, owner of the neighbouring property (known sometimes as Ellen Vale and at others as Liahwan or simply Old Hessian Station) was unwell. Patsy Durack set out in the station dray and brought him back with him. For a few weeks he lingered and when he died he willed his property to Lillas and Patsy Durack. He lived in Queensland and New South Wales for 33 years before coming to Western Australia. Author's Note: The headstone has now been removed from the burial ground on Dunham River and placed in the grounds of Argyle Downs Homestead Museum.
