Biography

WRC Crossman left an estate valued at £547 to Walter James and B. H. Darbyshire, the attorneys of Eleanor Mary Crossman, the widow of the deceased. Coolgardie Miner, 26 May 1894, states: "General regret is felt at the death of Mr. E. C. Crossman, who died at the private hospital yesterday morning. The deceased gentleman was a son-in-law of Mr. Panton, P.M., of Melbourne, and was at one time connected with Bayley's Reward claim. He was only lately married, and much sympathy is felt with his bereaved wife by his local friends." Crossman rode a camel to Southern Cross in order to send the news of a rich strike in Bayley’s No. 2 South, and received £200 for his work. Wife Eleanor Mary Crossman living at "Carannya" Alexander Street, St Kilda at the time of William's death.
