1930 Funeral. The late Mr. John Henry George Taylor died suddenly at his residence, 139 Glyde-street, East Fremantle, on Sunday morning. Mr. Taylor was born in London, and resided in Western Australia for 35 years, nearly all of which were spent in Fremantle. He was a prominent and highly respected citizen, and considerable civic service stands to his credit. He was a commissioner of the Fremantle Harbour Trust for over 20 years, and during that period was associated with many important matters. Some time ago, in conjunction with Mr. F. Stevens, late secretary of the Harbour Trust, he visited Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, investigating working methods at those ports. About 20 years ago he was president of the Fremantle Lumpers' Union, and for some years was a councillor for the West Ward in the East Fremantle municipality. He was also a prominent official of the A.L.P. Mr. Taylor rendered conspicuous service to the Labour movement and local government bodies over a long period. During his long association with the life of Fremantle he won the esteem and high regard of everyone with whom he became associated. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon in the Fremantle Cemetery… At the conclusion of the service the funeral oration of the R.A.O.B. was read by Mr. C. B. Cockerill. The chief mourners were: Mrs. Taylor, wife; Mrs. Emma Taylor, mother; Messrs. A. March and W. Pearce, brothers-in-law, Mesdames A. March and W. Pearce, sisters-in-law. ..The pall bearers were: Messrs. Alex. McCallum, M.L.A., Tom Carter, chairman and G. V. McCartney, manager (Fremantle Harbour Trust), J. Angwin (representing the Agent-General), J.W. Burgess (Fremantle Trades Hall), W. Glasson (secretary of the Docks, Rivers and Harbour Works Union), P.

1928 Accident. On February 6, Mr. F. R. Peterson, the well-known Fremantle photographer, was unfortunate enough to collide with a child, Norman Gore, eight years of age. As a result of the collision the child died, and the inquest was held on Tuesday last by Mr. H. J. Craig, R.M., who delivered the-following verdict: "That Norman Gore came to his death at Fremantle on February from injuries caused in a collision with a motor car driven by Frank Reinhold Peterson; in Canning Road, East Fremantle, on the same date. That the injuries were caused accidentally." Evidence disclosed at the inquest indicated that the accident was not the fault of Mr. Peterson, who did everything possible to avert the collision. Jean Theresa Gore, ten years of age, residing at 79 George-street, East Fremantle, said she was walking along Canning-road with her brother Norman. "We were walking on the road, nearly in the gutter," she said. "On the left-hand side of the road going west we met our brother Albert, who took a hand cart from Norman and went ahead of us. I heard a car coming from behind. Norman was next to the footpath and when I heard the car coming. I caught hold of his shift and held him and told him not to move as the car was coming. Just as the car got close to us I let go my hold of Norman and he immediately started to run across the road, and the next thing I saw was a motor car knocking him down. After knocking Norman down the motor car travelled the distance between two telegraph posts. I screamed and ran to the corner of the street away from where my brother was lying. I saw a man pick up my brother and put him in a motor car. I heard no sound of motor horn, but I saw the car coming when I looked round a good way off.” (reference) Petersen lived at 28 Silas St.
