Deceased for some time past had been working at Pig Well but arrived in Malcolm about a week prior to his demise. On Monday he complained of feeling ill and was conveyed to the hospital but expired immediately after admission, the cause of death being infarction of the heart. Samuel had emigrated from the UK with his mother and four siblings in 1866, at the age of 12. He was 24 when he married an old family friend, Mary Susan, a widow aged 41, with four surviving children from a total of nine. The couple had a son of their own the following year and then moved to Queensland, where the child died, aged 10 years, on 22 December 1888. Samuel and Mary Susan moved to Western Australia by 1900, where, on 2 December 1901, Samuel was granted a publican's general licence for the well-known Marvel Bar Hotel, Bayley Street, Coolgardie. At the same time, he sought to sell his Elvira lease (near Red Bluff Hotel), described as a splendid five-roomed iron house, together with furniture and effects. A series of family events took over when Samuel's father died at Clunes, Victoria, in 1908, aged 84 years and his mother died in Victoria in 1909, aged 80 years. In 1910 he applied for a gold mining lease. His wife, Mary Susan, died 13 November 1911 at the Claremont Mental Asylum, aged about 75 years.

The infant died after a short illness. The extreme beat was seen to have been a contributory factor responsible for the child's death. His parents were married in Victoria in 1886 (Marriage Reg.No.2433/1866).

Maclaren was well-known and highly respected in the district, leaving a young widow and infant. He left an estate valued at £701 10s to his widow. He had lived in Victoria for 26 years before moving to Western Australia. The informant of his death was Joanna Woods, his sister-in-law.

Alias Albert Edwards. In 1905, the West Australian reported: "A prospector, named Albert Medland, who had been staying in Kalgoorlie for the past few weeks, has been reported to the police as missing. Medland occupied a room at the Royal Hotel, and last Sunday night he visited friends at a house in Dugan-street. He left there to return to the hotel, but did not reach his destination and he has neither been seen or heard of since." Then, in June, 1907, the following item appeared in the Coolgardie Miner: "Claud Burke (14) and Albert Edward Medland alias Albert Edwards (aged 36) are advertised in the "Government Gazette" as missing friends." Medland had lived in Queensland for 36 years before arriving in Western Australia.

Also known as Jerry.

Jeremiah Moran was the only child of Roderick Moran and Honora Hearn. Roderick was born about 1831 in King’s County (now County Offaly), Ireland. He emigrated to Australia with his parents and three siblings, arriving in Melbourne on the Thetis on the 17 February 1842. Honora was born about 1834 in County Limerick, Ireland. Roderick and Honora were married on 28 November 1855 in Wollert, County of Bourke, near Melbourne. Sadly, Honora died on 4 February 1858, when Jeremiah was just 16 months old.

Jeremiah’s father, Roderick, was a grocer and ran a business at 27 Little Lonsdale Street East, Melbourne. In1865, Roderick’s father died and he was named executor of the estate. The key beneficiaries were Roderick himself, his two brothers, Jerome and John, and his sister, Mary.

This event seemed to be a turning point for young Jeremiah and his father. Soon after, they left Melbourne for North Queensland. In 1875, together with his father and uncles, young Jeremiah (known as Jerry) was named in a tin prospecting party led by James Venture Mulligan. In 1883, Roderick and Jerome took out land selections in the Barron Valley on the Atherton Tablelands.

Nothing was heard of Jeremiah for a few years, until 1899 when he appears working at the Cumberland Gold Mine in Kookynie, Western Australia. He was badly crushed in a fall of earth at the mine and spent 10 weeks in hospital in Menzies. In May 1900, he was awarded £300 in damages. It is believed that Jeremiah then returned to North Queensland for a period during his recuperation. There is strong evidence to suggest that during that time, Jeremiah Moran and Norah Adams (née Regan) established a relationship while she was running the Redlynch Hotel, near Cairns.

Norah was married to George Anderson Adams and they had six children, who were: Mary Isabella, born 22 October 1889 (Birth Registration 1889/C/11487); Catherine Anderson, born 3 March 1892 (Birth Registration 1892/C/2048); Grace, born 17 April 1895 (Birth Registration 1895/C/1813); Norah, born 21 May 1897 (Birth Registration 1897/C/1670); Charles George, born 29 September 1900 (Birth Registration 1900/C/1823); John James Jeremiah born 18 December 1902 in Redlynch (Near Cairns), North Queensland ( Birth Registration 1903/C/1145).

The newspapers of the time make frequent mention of George’s abusive treatment of Norah.  In April 1902 Norah filed a matrimonial petition for Judicial Separation in the Queensland Supreme Court, in which she documented each episode of abuse, several of which saw George Adams jailed.

On 21 March 1903 Norah and her remaining five children (Charles George died by drowning after falling down a well at the Redlynch Hotel, 16 January 1902) left Cairns for Fremantle, arriving on the Paroo on 7 April 1903. From there they made their way to the prosperous gold mining town of Kookynie. Documents show that Jeremiah had already returned to Kookynie by that time. Norah and her children joined him and from then on, she became known as Norah Moran. 

Life was marked by tragedy over the following years. On 6 October 1903, just six months after Norah and her children arrived in Kookynie, nine-month-old baby, John James Jeremiah, died. Although George Adams is registered as his father, evidence is strong that this child was fathered by Jeremiah while in Queensland. Records show that during the period that John was likely conceived, Moran was working in or around the Cairns area. Even more persuasive is the fact that during that period, police records show that George Adams was serving a 3-month prison sentence.

On a happier note, on 16 May 1905, Jeremiah and Norah had a child, also named John. Sadly, on 21 April 1908 Grace, aged 13 years, died in the Malcolm Hospital from diabetes.

Jeremiah and Norah and their children lived in various mining locations in the Northern Goldfields and, at one stage, ran a boarding house in Desdemona. Jeremiah was killed in the mining accident at the Butterfly Mine, Tampa. Following the inquiry into his death, the jury returned a verdict that the deceased met his death through an accident at the mine, with  no blame attached to any person.

On 8 September 1915 Norah lost a claim in the Kalgoorlie Local Court for compensation when the company stated that the injury to the deceased was not caused by an accident arising out of his employment but was attributable to his serious wilful misconduct.

Norah Moran left the goldfields and moved to Perth where she ran a boarding house in Newcastle Street. She died on 20 July 1925 (Death Registration 100947/1925, Perth).

The deceased lived in Victoria for 47 years and had spent some years in Queensland before moving to Western Australia.

The stories of both John James Jeremiah and Grace also appear on this website.

Alias John Nella was employed at the North Star Mine working between the 3rd and 4th level in a stope. He said it must have been a bad piece of fuse because he lit two charges. When he lit the second, the first one exploded. His workmate went back to Nella and found him lying in the stope just under the face with his clothes blown off. He was injured about the legs. Nella was conveyed to the surface and then to hospital. An operation was conducted on the day following the accident and although he rallied somewhat for a time, he gradually sank and passed away. Nella had been employed there for a considerable period and was considered to be a careful and practical miner.
