Village Bell1989 HARRY "PA" MOORE
Much loved Upper Beaconsfield resident, Harry Moore, known as "Pa" to many, died on 19th December, 1988, aged 86.
Harry will be remembered as an unassuming, warm and caring man. He had a wonderful memory and could recall the face and name of each man, woman or child he met. According to his stepdaughter, Ruby Pratt, Harry saw only the good in people. He gave generously of his friendship and responded to friendliness and kindness in others.
Harry came to Australia when he was about 20 years old. Although he had been well educated in England and left behind what Ruby describes as a "substantial setting", Harry was never afraid to get his hands dirty. He fell in love with the Australian bush, working on farms and as a jackaroo in the outback soon after he arrived. The qualities that made Harry worthy of the love and respect of many people - calmness, reliability, understanding and patience - also made him an excellent handler of horses. Later on Harry had a horse-drawn carrying business in Melbourne, transporting goods from wharf to warehouse.
In 1946 Harry first moved to this area practising mixed farming at Sunnyside Farm, Dewhurst. To supplement the family income, Harry also helped look after the Beaconhills Golf Course over a 25 year period - a job he loved. He used to shape the photinias to "keep them out of the ladies' faces", and is still fondly remembered for the care he took.
Harry moved to St. Georges Road in 1969 when Dewhurst was to be submerged under the Cardinia Reservoir. Until quite recently Harry continued to make his regular Saturday morning visit to Emerald in order to keep up the long standing friendships with shoppers and business people.
Harry was awarded a medal for his bravery on Ash Wednesday. He was immensely proud of his Award although he never considered himself a hero. He saved the lives of Sheila Griffith and her two daughters Karen and Jane. The three were almost invisible in the thick smoke as they ran along St. Georges Road, their clothes on fire and gasping for air. Harry put them in his car and got them to Berwick Hospital. He was on his way back to Upper Beaconsfield to help, but hospital staff insisted he remain for the night.
In his later years, Harry remained stoically independent, never complaining despite his failing health. Harry "Pa" Moore will be remembered affectionately by all who knew him.12

Village Bell*Feb 1987 ALICE AGNES GIBBS
Long time resident of the area, Mrs. Alice Gibbs, died recently aged 94. She is survived by her two sons, one of whom Lou, lives in Albers Road. Mrs. Gibbs came originally from Surrey Hills where she was actively involved in St. Barnaby's Church and the Red Cross. The family moved to Dewhurst where Mrs. Gibbs continued her church involvement as a member of the Ladies Guild of the Dewhurst Church. When the creation of Cardinia Dam necessitated a move to Upper Beaconsfield, Mrs. Gibbs positive attitude to “progress” stood her in good stead. She was a fine needlewoman and despite poor eyesight was still crocheting at 90. She had an impressive button collection of around 9,000 buttons, ranging from very early items such as painted china buttons, Crimean war buttons and large coat buttons up to modern plastic ones. The collection was left to another fine Upper Beaconsfield needlewoman and friend, Helen Phillips., Mary Helen 'Helen' Phillips21
