1917 Obituary. The late Myrtle Levin (Marie) Williamson, only daughter of Sapper Arthur William and Mrs. Williamson, of No. 150 Glyde-street, East Fremantle, passed away on the 14th inst., in her 14th year. The deceased little girl was one of the most popular and promising pupils attending the East Fremantle State School. Added to the pathetic nature of the case is the fact of the father being away on active service. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon, the 15th inst., in the Roman Catholic portion of the Fremantle Cemetery, and was very largely attended, the scholars of the school being present in large numbers, also Mr. G. M'Lean (headmaster), and the Misses Thomas, Coppinger, Green, and Peat (class teachers). The chief mourners were Mrs. Williamson (mother), Master Arthur Williamson (brother), Mrs. Nurse A. J. Sheedy (aunt), and Arthur and Michael Sheedy (cousins). The pall-bearers were Millie Lacey, Elaine Thompson, Grace M'Crae, Valda Varcoe, Maggie McLeod, and Jean Lindsay (selected from the deceased's class, the 6th Standard). They were clad in white, and each carried a bouquet of white flowers… (reference)

1929 By the Way-Onyons or Onions."Some people say," said Dave, emphatically, "we want better bowlers, but I reckon we could beat the Englishmen with Onyons." "Onions," commented Dad, sarcastically, "why didn't you say we could beat 'em with potatoes or pie melons?" Dave offered his profound explanation.

Everybody knows that onions the vegetable is spelt onions, but this bloke spells 'is name Onyons. The money yer parents spent on yer education, Dad, was wasted.
