• Notes

  Great Grandfather to Peter Free. James Free (b13/3/19864, Raglan,d 20/1/1922, Bendigo, married on 6/4/1891 Johanna Shepherd born 1866) The 1903 electoral roll showed James Free together with his brothers Samuel and William as farmers at Cannie Win Noblet's book 'Beside the Bullock Track' records the death o f James Free as follows: 'The untimely death of Mr James Free of lalbert east caused a surge of downcast gloom over the district. Although he had been ill for a short period his illness was not thought to be serious, but he rapidly sank following an operation, and died at the age of 57 years. Jim, as he was commonly known, came to the district from Corack with his brother Samuel and worked diligently, transforming a wildernest to a wheat farm. Jim Free proved to one of Australia's finest citizens, taking a keen interest in public matters and being blessed with a warm friendliness. He successfully reared a family of eleven children, his sons Messrs James Free married Emma Oliver, John married E, Rangott, Ern married M. Keating, Dick married May Jobling and then Frank, Norm and Allan weren't married. Whilst daughters, Johanna married Jack Bailey, Dolly married Robert Williamson, Pearl [became] Mrs J . Hasty, and Alice became Mrs Bill Smith. Mr Bourne conducted the funeral service at St. Stephen's Church, Lalbert and also at the graveside at the Lalbert cemetery'.
