HISTORY

1929 Fremantle District Council A.L.P. There was a good attendance of delegates at the fortnightly meeting of the Fremantle District Council of the A.L.P., held at the Trades Hall on Tuesday evening. The President (Mr. A. V. Hughes) occupied the chair, and Mr. Frank Rowe, M.L.A., officiated as secretary in the absence of Mr. J. W. Burgess, who is on holiday leave. (reference)

1929 Municipal Elections. Wednesday was nomination day for the annual municipal elections throughout the State. For East Fremantle there will be no elections. Messrs. Frank Rowe. M. L. A. and Mr. A. Staton, endorsed Labor candidates were returned unopposed for the Central and West Wards respectively, and Mr. George Pearse was given a walk-over for the East Ward, which is the aristocratic portion of the municipality. (reference)

1930 Fremantle News. Mr. Frank Rowe, M.L.A., and Mrs.Rowe left for Bridgetown for the Christmas vacation. (reference)

1930 Political Points. Howls From the Hustings and Campaign Personalities Hubert Parker and Frank Rowe are making a merry mill of it in North East Fremantle. This in the old days was a Labor pocket borough, but portion of the Cottesloe beach end has been tacked on to it and it's not quite the same proposition now. (reference)

1930 Campaign Notes. Mr. Frank Rowe, M.L.A., Labour candidate for North-East Fremantle, assisted by the Minister for Works (Mr. A. McCallum) and Mr. W. H. Kitson, will open his campaign at the North Fremantle Town Hall to-night at 8 o'clock. (reference)

1930 Political Personalities. Mr. Frank Rowe.—Although he may lay claim to only about three years of Parliamentary life, Mr. Frank Rowe, who is again the Labor candidate for North-East Fremantle is probably as widely-known an industrialist as any in the metropolitan area. Frank, as he is to everybody except in the august precincts of Parliament, where convention and Parliamentary usage demand that he be "the honorable member for North-East Fremantle"- is known to all ranks in the three Fremantles and also in shipping and waterfront circles throughout Australia as a sturdy champion of the workers. For 25 years without a break: 1902 to 1927-he was secretary to the Fremantle branch of the Waterside Workers' Federation but his connection with that office began many years before the federation came into existence… (reference)

1930 Labor Advertising. On April 12th. Vote Labor As Follows. Rowe For N.E. Fremantle. Mr. Frank Rowe was for over twenty years General Secretary of the Waterside Workers' Union, and was prominent in every activity which resulted in improvements to their wages and conditions in life. Largely due to his efforts is the fact that Fremantle has an up-to-date Ambulance Service. His past record and his experience in industrial affairs are such as to make his services of great value to the community in a Parliamentary capacity. (reference)

1930 The Election Campaign. North-East Fremantle. Down Fremantle way, Mr. Frank Rowe, in his campaign, will be the centre of interest, as he is the only Fremantle member who is being opposed, and therefore the full strength of the opposition's guns will be played on him, and will bring the entire movement of Fremantle women and men into the fullest active service in order that he may retain his seat. Labor in Fremantle can surely prove that when its stronghold is challenged, only one thing can happen, i.e., a stronger hold than ever. Fremantle Labor women can safely be trusted to make things hum in the North-East Fremantle electoral district. (reference)

1930 Fremantle News and Views. Labor Defeat At North East Fremantle.—Mr. Frank Howe's defeat by the narrow margin of 13 votes in a poll of 5095 caused consternation at the North Fremantle Town Hall, the chief polling place, on Saturday night, where a large body of Laborites waited patiently until nearly midnight for the final result. The North Fremantle box was counted first. This gave the Labor candidate a lead of 639 votes, which was never overtaken until the conclusion of the count, when the postal votes were counted…(continues) (reference)

1930 Shadows: Do They Cast Refection?  Interesting Telephone Book Entry. Do coming events cast their shadows before? Here is an interesting entry in the telephone book, which was issued this month, November 1930, by the Post and Telegraph Department:—"ROWE, Frank, secretary F. L. Union, 10 Irwin-street, East Fremantle, FM-2907." And during the past month or so Mr. Frank Rowe has been working on the wharf as a lumper. A previous entry in the same telephone book announces:— "FOX, T., secretary Lumpers' Union, 239 Marmion-street, Fremantle, FM-2750." So it will be seen that the position with regard to the secretaryship of the Fremantle Lumpers' Union is hazy—that is if one were led by the telephone book. Is it casting a shadow? Is Mr. Frank Rowe toiling as a lumper to fit him for nomination for the position that the Post and Telegraph department has already conferred upon him? Time- and the lumpers themselves - will only tell. (reference)

1938 The Late CR. George David. The hearse was preceded from the cemetery gates to the graveside by drivers, fare collectors and other employees of the various omnibus companies in uniform. The coffin, over which rested the Union Jack, was borne to the grave by Inspectors W. Kennedy and R. Walker, and Messrs. C. Richards, T. Williams and H. D. Pearcy (foremen) and Clem Spry (drivers), of the Metropolitan Omnibus Company. At the conclusion of the service at the graveside the last post and reveille were sounded by Bugler Beasy, of the Royal Australian Artillery, Fremantle, and a poppy was dropped by a representative of the Returned Soldiers' League, with the words, "Lest we forget."

HISTORY

1926 Will of Edna Jane McLeod late of Fortescue-street, East Fremantle, W.A. (reference)

1928 Alleged Unlawful Killing Donald McLeod (55) widower, an employee of G.P.O., Perth, and living at East Fremantle, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Det. Sergt. Manning and Dets. Finlay, and Smith, on a charge of unlawfully killing one Ernest Stratton. Stratton was picked up outside the G.P.O. in Forrest Place to-day and taken to Perth Hospital in St. John's Ambulance. On arrival at hospital, Stratton was examined by the doctor and found to be dead. It was at first thought he had sustained his injuries by an accidental fall, but it was later discovered he had been the victim of an assault. Later in the afternoon McLeod was arrested on the charge of killing Stratton. It is understood an argument took place between the two, ending in a fatal altercation. Stratton is a retired civil servant, and had been living with his wife at Glen Forrest. McLeod, it is understood, is a widower, having only buried his wife a few weeks back. (reference)

1928 Telegraphist Arrested. Following the death on Saturday afternoon of Ernest Young Stratton (63), a retired civil servant, of Glen Forrest, detectives arrested Donald McLeod (55) of Fortesque-street, East Fremantle, on a charge of having unlawfully killed Stratton. At 2.30 p.m., the St. John ambulance received a call to Forrest-place and, in the basement of the General Post Office found Stratton dead from a head injury. At first it was thought that Stratton had fallen down, but subsequent investigations were made by Detective-Sergeant Manning and Detectives Findlay and G. Smith. It was alleged that an altercation occurred between Stratton and McLeod. It is understood that Stratton, who was at one time engaged by the Telegraph Department, considered that many years ago, McLeod served him, an ill turn. On Saturday he went to the basement of the post office, where McLeod was working, and it was stated, a quarrel followed. During the quarrel, it is alleged, McLeod struck Stratton and knocked him to the ground, his head striking the concrete floor with great force. (reference)

1928 Donald McLeod (55), telegraph operator, of Fortescuè-street, East Fremantle was arrested following the death of Ernest Young Stratton (63), who was found lying in Forrest place, Perth, with a fractured skull, and who died on Saturday.

1935 The Late Mrs. Reta Ashby. The death of Mrs. Reta Ashby, wife of Mr. Magnus Ashby, master carrier, of ‘Glendarah’, 10 Fortescue-street. East Fremantle, at the early age of 34 years, was a great shock to her many friends. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon in the Fremantle Cemetery. Canon E. M. Collick, who officiated at her wedding, conducted the ceremony at the graveside. (reference)

1936 When a nurse employed at a private hospital at East Fremantle tore up a document, which was the will of a discharged patient, she did something that endangered the proper bequeathing of an estate that is worth over £5000. Had it not happened that the Fremantle manager for the W.A. Trustee, Executor and Agency Co.Ltd. became a patient in the hospital, and that the document-destroying nurse confided to him her worries following what she had done, the interests of the beneficiary under the destroyed will might have been nullified. Mrs. Margaret Ellen Louise Ashby, who lived in Fortescue-street, East Fremantle, was a patient in the hospital for some weeks last year. On May 31 she called the matron, Isobel Walter, and a nurse, Ila Clare Dowding, and asked them to witness a will she had drawn up. The contents of this document and its effect were: "I bequeath all my property to my beloved husband Magnus Ashby, unconditionally, including my land in Fremantle from my auntie's estate, and also what was left to me from my mother's estate." This she signed in the presence of the matron and nurse.Not long afterwards Mrs. Ashby recovered from her illness and was discharged from the hospital. She left the document in a drawer at the hospital, and, after it had remained there for several months, Nurse Bridie Willoughby, who had read its contents, made a cleaning up. She thought that it was of no further use and would not be required in consequence of Mrs. Ashby's recovery, and she tore it up. A week later Mrs. Ashby was brought back to the hospital in an unconscious condition and she died on September 9. (reference)

1936 Perth, Aug. 3. In the Supreme Court to-day Mr. Justice Dwyer delivered a reserved judgment in regard to an action instituted because Margaret Ellen Louise Ashby, who died on September 9, 1935, made two wills, the later one of which was destroyed. (reference)
