HISTORY

1939 Lumper’s Death. Run Over By Engine. Fremantle Inquest Opened. While cycling to work on February 2 along the roadway behind Victoria Quay, William John Fuller (57), lumper, widower, of Bellevue-terrace, Fremantle, had both his legs cut off when struck by a locomotive returning from the wharf to the railway yards near C shed. He died about three hours later in the Fremantle Hospital. Yesterday an inquiry concerning the fatality was opened before the Acting-Coroner (Mr. F. G. Higham, J.P.) in the Fremantle Courthouse... Oscar George Edberg, of Irwin-street, East Fremantle, a head-shunter employed by the Railway Department, said that about 7.45 a.m. on February 2, he was returning with the locomotive to the railway yards after taking some trucks along side a vessel at C shed. Witness was standing on a step of the engine on the left-hand side and another shunter was standing on a step behind him. The driver and fireman were in the cab. The driver blew his whistle before returning from B shed and again about 20 yards later. Witness had a clear view ahead except for about six feet immediately on the right of the engine. He saw Fuller riding in front and watched him for about 15 yards. He was then about eight or ten feet to the right of the railway track and appeared in no danger so no further warning was given by the driver... (reference)
1939 Lumper’s Death... A finding of accidental death was returned by the Acting-Coroner (Mr. F. G. Higham, J.P.) in the Fremantle Courthouse yesterday, when an Inquiry into the death of William John Fuller (57), lumper, of Bellevue-terrace, Fremantle, was concluded...Sergeant Growden examined the witnesses. Oscar George Edberg, of Irwin-street, East Fremantle, head-shunter whose evidence-in-chief was given last week, was cross-examined when the inquest was resumed yesterday. He told Mr. de Garis that he had been employed on the wharf for 12½ years, and he contended that all the proper precautions had been taken by the train crew. Questioned by Mr. Rudinger, he said that he thought that after the cyclist had swerved towards the locomotive it would have been impossible to avoid an accident. He told Mr. Dunphy that he thought Fuller had a fright from a passing motor truck, and, as a result, he swerved towards the locomotive. At one moment the three vehicles were practically in line, and the accident occurred almost immediately afterwards. At no stage was the locomotive traveling at more than six miles an hour. The Acting Coroner said that the evidence before him was sufficient to enable him to come to a decision as to the cause of death and announced his findings. (reference)
1947 Thirteen new cars have been put on the road in the last week, according to the Police Traffic Office. Several new trucks and waggons were also purchased. Details of their owners are:...Morris saloon: Oscar George Edberg, Irwin Street, East Fremantle... (reference)
