  • 23 Apr 1906: LOST IN THE BUSH. BERWICK. Sunday. - A boy named Mason, about 12 years of age, residing with his parents at the old Inebriate Asylum, in the Beaconsfield Ranges, was lost in the bush on Saturday afternoon. The lad, who is not of strong intellect, left home about 11 o'clock, driving the cows out to pasture. He called at Cosgroves old place about noon, and when asked to stay for dinner refused. The woman in charge of the place went to cut him some bread and butter, but when she returned with it he was not to be seen, nor has he been heard of since. Diligent search in all the neighbouring gullies has been made by residents of Beaconsfield and Berwick, and to-day the blacktrackers arrived from Dandenong. Owing to the heavy rains last night the trackers were unable to pick up any tracks, and up to 7 o'clock this evening no tidings had come to hand. The unfortunate boy had no coat or hat, so he probably fared badly in the inclement weather last night.4

The unfortunate boy had no coat or hat, so he probably fared badly in the inclement weather last night. Constable Steele and the blacktrackers were out again all day Tuesday, but did not succeed in finding him, though they came across traces where he had sat down by the side of a track to get a drink some time since the heavy rain of Saturday night, but how recently the trackers could not say.
    An unfortunate accident happened to Miss Mason aged 17 years a sister of the lost boy. She started to ride into Berwick to send some telegrams, but her horse got beyond control. The black tracker Charlie, seeing it had bolted, galloped after it, and succeeded in getting longside, but no sooner had he seized the reins than Miss Mason collapsed, falling off on her head. She was picked up unconscious and conveyed to her parents' residence. Dr Bennie was quickly in attendance. He found the patient in a very critical state, suffering from fracture of the base of the skull. Agnes Mary Agatha Mason5
  • 26 Apr 1906: AN UNFORTUNATE FAMILY. BOY LOST IN BUSH AND GIRL KILLED. Melbourne, April 25. A lad named Mason has been lost in the Beaconsfield Ranges, near Berwick, since Saturday last, and search parties have been out ever since, but without success. Yesterday his sister was taking some telegrams for despatch, when her horse bolted and throw her, fracturing her skull. She died to-day.6
  • 26 Apr 1906: SEARCH FOR LOST BOY. All hope of finding young Mason alive has now been practically abandoned. Constable Falkner and the blacktrackers were busily employed all day searching the abandoned shafts in the immediate vicinity, and in the adjoining gullies tot he spot where the lad was last seen, but their search failed to discover any traces. the trackers turned to Dandenong this evening. Several search parties from Berwick and Beaconsfield have been scouring the gullies for the past four days but unsuccessfully. The search will be continued. The lad was partially paralysed, and being able to walk only with difficulty, could not have got very far away. One factor that told against the success of the search parties in the early stages was that the boy, being not of strong intellect, had great aversion to strangers, and would have hidden himself rather than come out to anyone calling him.7
  • 26 Apr 1906: A SAD FATAL ACCIDENT. Melbourne, Thursday.
    - A boy named Mason was lost from Beaconsfield on Saturday. A search party sent out included the boy's sister, 17 years of age. The girl was naturally very much concerned, and she was thrown from her horse and killed. It is feared that the boy has perished in the ranges.8
  • 2 May 1906: LOST BOY AT BERWICK. CRYING HEARD IN THE DARK.
    BERWICK, Tuesday. — Information reached Mounted-constable Steele last evening that a rabbit-trapper named Ernest Warmbrunn, who is trapping along the Cardinia Creek between Berwick and Beaconsfield, had heard cries when returning from visiting his traps on the Saturday night on which the boy wa lost. The trapper heard cries which he described as "unearthly" in sound. The place where they were heard was a mile distant from where the missing boy Mason was last seen. The boy could not speak distinctly, so that his cries would be indistinct, and what the trapper calls "unearthy."
    The locality was searched by the small party out from about 11 a.m.until nearly nightfall, but with no success. The search will be resumed to-morrow. Should it again be unsuccessful, it proposed to organise another large search party for Sunday next.
    Messrs Steele and Messrs. Vieusseux have received several donations towards the fund assisting the Mason family.9
  • 5 May 1906: A SADLY BEREAVED FAMILY. BOY LOST IN THE BUSH. GIRL KILLED DURING THE SEARCH. BERWICK, 25th April. No trace has yet been found of the missing boy Mason, who was lost in the bush at Upper Beaconsfield on Saturday last. Two black trackers, Charlie and Peter, arrived from Dandenong on Sunday in charge of Constable Fawlkner, but owing to the heavy rains on Saturday night having quite obliterated all tracks and the dense thickness of the ti-tree and other scrub, the task of finding the boy is a difficult one, as it is quite possible to pass within a few yards of him without finding him. There are a number of abandoned mining shafts in the locality. A dreadful accident happened in connection with the search, Miss Aggie Mason, 17 years of age, one of the sisters of the missing boy who had come from the city to help in the search, was mounted on a trooper's horse, and, accompanied by her blind brother, was to come to Berwick to send some telegrams. The horses bolted, and Tracker Charlie, who accompanied her, galloped to the girl's assistance. He had succeeded in getting hold of the bridle, and dropping his own bridle, he was reaching to secure Miss Mason, when the horses jumped a drain, and the young lady became unseated and fell, fracturing her skull. Dr. Bennie was hastily summoned, but she never rallied, and died last night. Widespread sympathy is felt for the family in their trouble. The whole neighborhood is to be searched again for the missing boy, but small hope is entertained of finding him alive.
    STILL NO TRACE OF HIM. BERWICK. Sunday, Over 100 men assembled on Sunday morn ing to help in the search for the boy who wandered from his home on 21st inst. Constables Steele and Faulkner, with the black trackers Peter and Charlie, took part in the search. The trackers, with some helpers, headed northwards, while the constables, in charge of the main body, started for Mr. E. T. Luke's place, "Pine Lodge," where the lad was last seen alive. Half way across Mr. Vieusseaux found the boy's cap, which he wore when he left home but as he was bare headed when seen at Mr. Luke's house at noon on Saturday no significance was attached to the find. Many of the gullies searched were so densely covered with scrub that a dog could scarcely get through. When the party reassembled at 4 p.m., no one had got a trace of the wanderer.10
  • 7 May 1906: ALL HOPE ABANDONED. Melbourne, Monday.
    Yesterday 150 persons constituted a party to search for the boy Mason, who was lost in the Beaconsfield Ranges on April 21. The party was unsuccessful, and further search has now been abandoned as hopeless.11
  • 7 May 1906: LOST BOY AT BERWICK. SEARCH NOW ABANDONED.
    BERWICK. Sunday.—On Saturday, April 21, during the forenoon, a boy named Mason, 15 years of age, wandered away from his home the Old Female Inebriate Asylum, in the Beaconsfield Ranges. He was traced the same day to the residence of Mr. Luke, better known as Cosgrove's, about three-quarters of a mile away, where he was last seen about half-past 12. He left there, and then all traces of him disappeared. the relatives at once communicated with the police, and Mounted-constable Falkner, of Dandenong, with the black trackers Charlie and Peter, arrived on the scene on Sunday, April 22. Since then search parties have been seeking traces of the boy in all directions, but without result. A sad fatality occured on Tuesday April 24, when Miss Mason, aged 17 years, a sister of the lost boy, was thrown from her horse while assisting in the search, sustaining injuries from which she died in the following morning. On Sunday April 29, a large seaarch party of over a hundred persons scoured the hills, gullies, and this unsuccessfully. All that they found was the boy's cap, which was of no importance as a clue, for when last seen he was without it. Since then parties have been out daily.
    The police decided on organising another large search party for to-day, to make a final effort to find the remains. There has been several showers of rain during the night, but the morning broke bright and fine, and by 10 o'clock a large number of volunteers had assembled at the rendeavous. Constable Falkner subdivided the party, and the various sections proceeded at once to work, traversing the hills and gullies to the south of Cosgrove's. One party proceeded along the tracks on the tops of the hills in the direction of Upper Beaconsfield and Officer. Another section swept the flats and gullies towards Lower Beaconsfield, while a large party of horsemen proceeded up the Cardinia Creek for some miles. Then, leaving their horses in charge of two or three, the others proceeded down the creek, thoroughly searching it on both sides. All the parties met at 1 o'clock to report progress except a few who proceeded along the tracks leading to Pakenham and Gembrook, on the tops of the hills. These did not return until 4 o'clock.
    After lunch the whole party thoroughly searched the paddocks and reaches of the creek adjacent to the spot where the cries were heard on the night the boy was lost; but all efforts were unsuccessful, and about 5 o'clock the party reluctantly gave up the search, returning to their homes. Fully 150 persons took part to-day.
    Every praise must be given to Constables Steele and Falkner and to the large num ber of volunteers who turned out to search day after day.
    The search will now be abandoned.
    On behalf of the family of the boy Mason we have received the following subscription.—H.H., 10/-.12

  • 27 Apr 1906: THE LOST BOY.
    BERWICK, Thursday. — No success has attended the efforts of the search parties out to-day looking for traces of the lost boy Mason. All hope of finding him alive has been abandoned. The boy's mother appears to be in very destitute circumstances, being barely able to procure the neccessaries of life. Constable Steele, of Berwick, is organising a large search party to systematically scour the gullies in the vicinity. He has also stated a subscription-list to enable the people to show some practical sympathy with Mrs. Mason in her dire distress.10
  • 28 Apr 1906: THE MASON FAMILY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ARGUS.
    Sir,—Your numerous readers have all the sad particulars of the misfortune that have befallen the Mason family at Beaconsfield—the boy, aged 15, being lost in the bush on Saturday last; the daughter, aged 17, being killed by a fall from her horse on Tuesday—in addition to the above, the family are in very destitute circumstances, having barely sufficient to procure the necessities of life. Constable Steele is organising a local subscription list, to enable sympathisers to show some practical help. Might I enlist your sympathy towards this movement, as the case is one deserving of help? Constable Steele and myself will be pleased to receive Subscriptions.—Yours, &c.
    EDWARD A. L. VIEUSSEUX.
    Berwick, April 28.11
  • 15 May 1906: MASON FAMILY APPEAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ARGUS
    Sir, Mounted Constable Steele and myself interviewed Mrs Mason to-day. She states that her son has seen several doctors about his sight, and the only one who held out any hopes of his recovering it was Dr. Woods of Albury, who saw the boy 14 years ago, and said he "might," when reaching the age of 21, find it improving. He is a little over that age now, and his mother is willing that anything we think is best should be done. We think that, as certain gentlemen have given donations for that purpose, the boy should see a couple of specialists to learn is there is any hope for him. Could that not be done in the Eye and Ear Hospital, as, beyond the subscriptions in your hands, there are no means available. We would take any steps suggested, and should be pleased to receive communications from those who have kindly interested themselves. I am, &c.

  • 29 May 1906: THE MASON FUND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ARGUS
    Sir, The day after my previous letter in re the blind boy Mason appeared in your columns I received a kind reply from Mr A S Gray, senior surgeon to the Eye and Ear Hospital, asking me to take the boy to him for examination, when, if necessary, he would be received as an in-patient to undergo operation.
    This was done on Saturday, the 19th inst., and he was seen privately by Mr Gray and Mr Rudall. He attended at the hospital and was examined by the staff. The result was an opinion that operation would be of no avail, but that constitutional treatment "might" do some little good. The money, therefore, sent to you to enable an operation to be performed might, with the donor's consent, be devoted to paying the travelling expenses of his attendant, once a fortnight, to and from the hospital—the boy himself having a free pass—any surplus being added to the fund, which i may add, we purpose closing at the end of this month. Thanking you for your valuable co-operation. Yours, &c.
    EDWARD A. L. VIEUSSEUX.
    Berwick, May 2813
  • 19 Jun 1906: THE MASON FAMILY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ARGUS
    Sir. As trustees of the fund subscribed by the public for the Mason family, which has now been closed, we desire to inform the subscribers how the money has been dealth with. The amount collected locally was £29/8/6, "The Argus" list £18/10 , making a total of £47/18/6.
    We consulted Mr Mason and her blind son as to the disposal of this money, and they authorised us to pay a few local accounts, amounting to £7/4, the balance, £40/14/6, to be placed in the Savings Bank as a trust account, in our joint names for the benefit of the blind lad, who will be able to operate on it as occasion may demand.
    We desire to thank the public for their sympathetic help, Dr A S Gray for his kindness and gratuitous treatment of the case; and yourself for the valuable ... operation of "The Argus". Yours &c.

  • 11 Apr 1911: CASUALTIES AND FATALITIES. -o- THROWN FROM VEHICLES.
    Mrs. Anna Mason, residing near Berwick, yesterday drove to the railway station, with Mrs Agnes Weldon, of St. Andrew street, Middle Brighton, who had been visiting her, and who intended to return to Melbourne by the midday train.
    Mrs Mason entered the station, leaving her friend in the buggy. The horse took fright, and bolted, and Mrs Weldon was thrown to the ground. The buggy was smashed. Mrs Weldon was brought to the Melbourne Hospital, where it was found that she was suffering from injuries to the face and head, and abrasions of the limbs.15
  • 1 Sep 1915: The second case was Mrs A Mason of Narre Warren, who lost her son and while her daughter was taking a telegram to the post office she was thrown from her house and killed. Her remaining son is blind. Mrs Mason lives on a recently-selected Crown Allotment and is practically destitute. Steps are being taken locally to render assistance but a good deal of help is needed and should any of your numerous readers be able to render assistance, will they communicate with us at the Shire Hall?
    This appeal has been authorised officially by my council, and the president of the shire has undertaken to safeguard all contributions made to the fund now being opened. -Yours &c
    F. M. HEALY, Shire Secretary, Ferntree Gully, Aug. 31.16

Newspaper-Articles

  • 25 Apr 1906: A boy named Mason, about 12 years of age, residing with his parents at the old Inebriate Asylum, in the Beaconsfield Ranges, was lost in the bush on Saturday afternoon. The lad, who is not of strong intellect, left home about 11 o'clock, driving the cows out to pasture. He called at Cosgrove's old place about noon, and when asked to stay for dinner refused. The woman in charge of the place went to cut him some bread and butter, but when she returned with it he was not to be seen, nor had he been heard of since. Diligent search in all the neighboring gullies has been made by residents of Beaconsfield and Berwick, and on Sunday the blacktrackers arrived from Dandenong. Owing to the heavy rains the previous night the trackers were un able to pick up any tracks. and up to 7 o'clock that evening no tidings had come to hand. The unfortunate boy had no coat or hat, so he probably fared badly in the inclement weather last night. Constable Steele and the blacktrackers were out again all day Tuesday, but did not succeed in finding him, though they came across traces where he had sat down by the side of a track to get a drink some time since the heavy rain of Saturday night, but how recently the trackers could not say.
    An unfortunate accident happened to Miss Mason aged 17 years a sister of the lost boy. She started to ride into Berwick to send some telegrams, but her horse got beyond control. The black tracker Charlie, seeing it had bolted, galloped after it, and succeeded in getting longside, but no sooner had he seized the reins than Miss Mason collapsed, falling off on her head. She was picked up unconscious and conveyed to her parents' residence. Dr Bennie was quickly in attendance. He found the patient in a very critical state, suffering from fracture of the base of the skull. John Ignatius (Iggy) Mason5
  • 26 Apr 1906: SEARCH FOR LOST BOY. SISTER DIES FROM INJURIES.

  • 28 Jan 1914: Messrs Geo. W. Martin and Co. report having disposed of Mr Jno. Crook's orchard property at Upper Beaconsfield at a satisfactory figure, the purchaser being Mr E. D. Love. John Crook31
  • 24 Jan 1922: HOLIDAY RESORTS. Beaconsfield Upper.
    The annual shearing picnic was held on January 18 at Gwen Bryn, Mr. C. P. Hurditch's-estate, to which a party of about 50 visitors and friends was invited; Shearing operations were performed by Mr. Love, in the presence of interested spectators. An unrehearsed incident occurred through the breaking away of four of the sheep. Chasing them on ponies afforded excitement for the young riders, as well as to the adults of the party. After luncheon on the lawn there were pony races for the young people. Salisbury has a good number of guests, who have been playing croquet and tennis from early morning until they were unable to see the balls. A large number of visitors is expected next week. Charles Philip Russell (P. R.) Hurditch32
  • 21 Jan 1932: One of the worst bush fires in the memory of the oldest residents occurred here on Friday and Saturday, when a devastating fire swept over the district. On Friday, a fire, which had been burning in the scrub, fanned by a strong north wind, menaced the residence of Mr. McMillan, and in response to a call for help, about 50 men were soon engaged in a fierce fight to save the house and outbuildings. This they managed to do, and the fire then jumped the main road and threatened the residence of the Misses McLean; a break was burned, and the house was safe. On Saturday morning another fire commenced near Miss McLean’s boundary fence, and soon the residences of Messrs. Blair, Boker and Gilpin, and a number of others were in danger. A large band of willing workers managed to save the houses, but unfortunately they could not save the fine lemon orchard of Mr. McMillan, which was destroyed, also a week-end residence of Mr. Harkins. The heat was so great when the place got alight that it was im possible to get near it. In the after noon a sudden change of wind to the south caused the township to be menaced, and a desperate call for help was sent out, and in reply volunteers from Berwick, Narre Warren and Dandenong came to augment the local Bush Fire Brigade, until there were over 200 men, under the direction of Constable Barrett, and other leaders, engaged in the desperate effort to save the homes of Madame Montigue, Messrs. McBride, McDonald, Harvey-Smith, Rev. T. Greenwood, Robinson, J. Campbell, Major Campbell, Miss Elliott, J. Deville, C. Ellis, Claydon, Wright, Binding and Brown. The worst fight was at “Kyogle,” Mr. McDonald’s house; at one time it was felt that this fine residence would go, but the determined fight put up by the willing workers saved it. Here it was that anxiety was felt for one band who had become surrounded by flames, but they managed to get clear, although some of them succumbed to heat and smoke after getting out. The fine garden and plantation of Major Campbell was swept by the fire, despite the efforts of the workers, and hundreds of pounds worth of valuable plants and trees were destroyed, and the fine house was only saved by the superhuman efforts of the fire fighters. Miss Elliott’s house got alight, and part of the roof had to be stripped off before the fire could be put out. Mr. Ellis had the fence and pavilion attached to his tennis court destroyed, and the fire swept through his orchard, only being stopped within a few feet of the house. The house of Mr. Wright was saved by burning a break, as was Mr. Brown’s house and lemon orchard.
    On Sunday afternoon a small fire developed in Salisbury Gully, but it was soon got under control; whilst this was being put out an urgent call for help came from “The Towers,” Mr. Berglund’s property. A large body of men were rushed out, and the fire was got under control before very much damage was done. On Sunday a fire, which had started on the Saturday in Cordner’s Gully, crossed the Officer rd., and threatened the orchard of Mr. F. Love, but it was kept out, and, with the exception of the loss of some fencing, not very much damage was done.

  • 8 Apr 1915: Miss Dorothy Blanchard, and Mr. Vivian H. L. Barlow, are the quests of Miss Blanchard's sister, Mrs. F. D. Love, at "Yeranga," Upper Beaconsfield, for Easter, and will not be returning to town till the 12th April.26
  • 4 Sep 1915: BANK NOTES MYSTERY. WOMAN CLAIMS OWNERSHIP.
    The police authorities believe that the mystery concerning the reported finding, in July last, of a "roll of bank notes" by a girl, who is said to have handed them to a constable on duty in Collins street, has been cleared up, inasmuch as Mrs Love, of Beaconsfield, now staying in Williamstown, called on Inspector Keegan yesterday, and reported the loss of four £1-notes on July 12, in Collins street. Mrs Love said that on that day she cashed a cheque for £6 at a bank, and spent £2, the last £1 at Georges'. In company with her sister, she walked down Collins street, past the "Age" office, to the Mia Mia tearooms. While in the tearooms Mrs Love missed the four £1-notes and concluded that she had been robbed in the crowd in front of the newspaper office. On the advice of her brother-in-law, Mrs. Love advertised her loss in an evening paper.
    Inspector Keegan advised Mrs Love to produce a copy of the paper containing the advertisement, and lodge a claim for the money, which was handed over at Russell street by the constable concerned in July last. Inspector Keegan remarked that so far as the constable was concerned, he had given a thoroughly satisfactory account of the matter, and there was no doubt whatever as to his honesty. Certainly, he had handed over only £3, but one note might easily have detached itself from the others. The bank notes represented the third amount of money he had handed in within a month.27
  • 5 Jul 1923: Dance at Upper Beaconsfield.
    At the invitation of Lt.-Col. and Mrs. G. H. Knox, a number of their friends from Upper Beaconsfield and the surrounding districts, and also Melbourne were present at the delightful dance held in the Assembly Hall, Upper Beaconsfield, on Friday evening, June 22. The guest of the evening was Miss K. Bird, cousin of the hostess, who is on a visit from England, and the dance was given in honor of her twenty-first birthday. The supper room of the hall was converted into a cosy lounge, with easy chairs, carpets, and a glowing fire. Bridge tables were provided for non-dancers. On a large table in the supper-room was arranged a buffet supper.
    The hall was gaily decked with cerise and violet streamers festooned from a centrepiece arranged with hoops of paper flowers of the same color and greenery. Tall oriental lamps and festoons of greenery, with cerise flowers, made a very effective screen round the dias, on which the musicians were seated. Mr. K. R. Pinkerton (of Berwick) was responsible for the artistic decorations of the hall. At 10 p.m. the guests retired to Salisbury House, opposite the hall, to partake of a sit-down supper.
    After midnight a large birthday cake, with twenty-one candles burning brightly on it, was carried into the hall, and cut by Miss Bird. The hostess (Mrs. G. H. Knox) wore a gracefully draped frock of apricot changeable taffeta, caught at the side with monkey fur: she carried an Early Victorian posy of autumn tints. Miss K. Bird was dressed in dainty mauve taffeta, with panels of Valenciennes lace, and a deep collar of georgette edged with similar lace.
    Among the guests present were.—Messrs. R. Knox (Melbourne), Dare (Melbourne), Lester, Beauchamp, Capt. Tate, Messrs. J. F. Sturken, Bunt, Day, K. R. Pinkerton, J. Swords, R. Glover, Berglund, Carsewell, Lorimer, Brown, McBride, E. Blain, Seely, Harvey Smith, Cant, Reed, Lester, Miss Margaret Clarke (Melbourne), flame-colored crepe de chine, with tulle pointed overskirt.

  • 30 May 1946: Mrs Oscar Hammerstein Back After 16 Years After an absence of 16 years Mrs Oscar Hammerstein II returned to Melbourne last night with her husband, the famous song writer, on a three weeks' visit.
    Mrs Hammerstein was formerly Miss Dorothy Blanchard, of Melbourne. M Hammerstein is her second husband, and she is his second wife.
    When she went to America she appeared in revue, and understudied Beatrice Lillie, who later became godmother to Mrs Hammerstein's daughter Susan.
    Nine years ago Mrs Hammerstein opened an interior decorating studio in New York, and this, she says, has become almost a full-time job. "I'm crazy for colour," she said, "and I think that people should have gay surroundings. Young people should not live in an atmosphere which looks as if it belonged, to their grandmothers."
    Mrs Hammerstein describes the Hammerstein family as "yours, mine, and ours." Her 18-year-old daughter Susan is now in films, being groomed for stardom by 20th Century Fox, with whom she has a- seven-year contract. A son by her first marriage is at school in Pennsylvania, and Jimmy, son of Mr and Mrs Hammer stein, is also at school.
    Yesterday Mrs Blanchard, Mrs Hammerstein's 80-year-old mother, was anxiously waiting for her arrival. She was particularly thrilled by a present which her daughter brought from New York-two pairs of nylon stockings.
    Mr and Mrs Hammerstein are at Menzies Hotel.31
  • 27 Jun 1946: The Longest Way Home
    I was interested to hear last night from Mrs Blanchard, of St Kilda, that her daughter and son-in-law, Mr and Mrs Oscar Hammerstein, are taking the longest way round to get back to New York quickly. When they were unable to secure accommodation for the Pacific flight Mr Hammerstein decided to fly to Lon- don, hoping to reach New York in five days. A cable yesterday told the sad story of a plane hold-up in Singapore, and Mr and Mrs Hammerstein expected to reach London by today.32
