1938 Bleeds fatally before Child. Inflicting a long, deep gash in her thigh when she fell out of bed on to a china jug, 49 year-old Sarah Ann Sorrell died in Fremantle Hospital from haemorrhage on July 3. She had lain on the floor bleeding to death, with her five year-old son the only other occupant of the room. Today, in the Fremantle Courthouse, District Coroner H. J. Craig after inquiring into the tragedy, returned a finding of accidental death. Mrs. Sorrell's five-year-old son Leslie, youngest in a family of nine, who was alone in the house at the time of the accident, gave evidence. He was not sworn, but in answer to the Coroner said he went to sleep and woke up when he heard a bang. He saw that his mother had fallen out of bed, and a china jug was smashed. 'Mummie did not speak to me,' he said. William George Sorrell, wharf laborer, said that on the afternoon of July 2 he and his wife drank a small bottle of wine. When he left home about 7 p.m. she was showing signs of the liquor. On his return home about 10.45 his son-in-law told him that his wife had met with an accident. Going into the bedroom, he found her lying in a pool of blood. Police then arrived and his wife was taken to the hospital. He went to hospital early next morning, and remained with his wife until she died the same afternoon, but she was too weak to tell him what had happened. Sergeant Growder: Did you have any Quarrel? Sorrell: Not that day. We have had our little tiffs, but always thought the world of each other. She had some bruises?—Yes, I cannot make it out. She had none when I left...Deceased's son-in-law, Harold Dudley, told how he found Mrs. Sorrell lying on the floor of her bedroom surrounded in blood about 10.45 p.m. on July 2. He immediately telephoned for a doctor and the police.Questioned by the coroner as to why he had not done anything to stop the bleeding. Dudley said that he was not experienced in first-aid, and was afraid he might make Mrs. Sorrell's condition worse by disturbing her. Arriving at the house about 11 p.m., Detective Smith said he spoke to Mrs. Sorrell, who was very weak and semi-conscious. Twice she muttered: 'Fall out of Bed.' (reference)

In 1980 Maureen Wright, the Town of East Fremantle's Recreation Officer, sought advice about starting a community centre from Catherine Doherty, her Nedlands counterpart. Doherty suggested that new East Fremantle resident Pam Jones, a former member of Tresillian, be approached to see if she would be interested in the idea of establishing a similar centre in East Fremantle. Maureen Wright and Pam Jones arranged two community meetings. Twelve people came to the second meeting—These women would form the core group of the fledgling community centre. They were Pam Jones, Joan Storer, Ann-Marie (Catton) Medcalf, Robyn Granath, Danielle Hughes, J. Karmelita, Marlene Michelides, Colleen Wallace, Nola Bindon, Sue Strange, Sandy Stock and Maureen Wright.

The Town of East Fremantle agreed with Maureen Wright's suggestion that 42 Glyde Street, originally purchased by the Council in 1978 to extend Glasson Park, would be ideal for a community centre. Once the property was secured the enthusiastic group of women set to work with gusto to transform the house. You can read more about the beginnings of the centre on their website https://www.glydein.org.au/about-us/story

In 2014 a five year lease with an option of a further five was negotiated and signed by the Town of East Fremantle CEO and the then-Chair of Glyde-In Jono Farmer.

1920 Evidence At Inquest: Gallant Attempt To Rescue Little Girl. At the Fremantle Courthouse this afternoon, the inquiry into the death of Cambridge White, who lost his life while trying to rescue a little girl, who had got into difficulties when swimming in the Swan River, near the North Fremantle railway bridge, on the afternoon of January 2. Alice Irene Hardy, 11 years of age, residing at 19 Bayley-street, North Fremantle, said she was bathing with another little girl and a boy. She could not swim, so put on some cork wings. She got into deep water, and the other little girl called out for help. Witness was not afraid. A man jumped into the water and swam to her. He told her to catch hold of him, which she did, and he started to swim back to shallow water. After going a little distance, however, he told her to let go. She did so, and sank. Mr. Kolby then swam out to her and brought her to the shore. This was the first time she had gone bathing at this spot. Albert Kolby, of 96 Glyde-street, East Fremantle, a lumper, said that at 5 o'clock on the afternoon of January 2, he was going home with deceased. When on the North Fremantle railway bridge they heard cries for assistance, and deceased took his coat and jacket off, and jumped in to assist a girl who was in the water, and who sank once before he reached her. Witness called out, "Are you all right?" and deceased replied "Yes." A little later he called out "Help," and witness went to his assistance. Just before reaching him he heard deceased say very quietly to the girl, "Let go." Then he sank, and did not come up again...The Acting Coroner concurred with the remarks, and drew attention to the fact that Kolby was a returned soldier. (reference)

Corporal Smith was invariably called on to play and sing at camp concerts but it was during the siege of Tobruk that the ukulele and its owner were most in demand. Deciding that the ukulele should be a permanent memento of the battalion, men scratched sketches of three rats at the top of it and then added the words "of Tobruk." From then on members of the unit from officers down to privates inscribed their names back and front of the ukulele until it was fully covered with more than 200 signatures. Ned Ducker, of Spearwood, found the ukulele after Corporal Smith was taken prisoner and recently handed it over to Corporal Smith's parents. (reference)
