  • 22 Jun 2022: 30 YEARS TO 1992. Pakenham lost one of its most respected old citizens when Ken Purton of 'Mount Pleasant' died peacefully in Pakenham Hospital after a short illness, aged 87. He was well known in the area for his involvement in the Pakenham Agricultural Society and, despite his age, was still dairyfarming until last year. During his 68 years at Mount Pleasant, Ken became a noted Ayrshire breeder and a strong advocate for the dairy industry. He was secretary of the Victorian Dairy Farmers Federation in Pakenham for 30 years. He was a volunteer for the CFA for 46 years, serving the Toomuc brigade as captain in 1944. He was among a group who hand built the fire station, using bricks they made from sand off a bank of Toomuc Creek.5

Affidavit by Peter Rumpf (son):
This deponent, Peter Rumpf on his oath saith: I am a contractor residing at Yarraville.
The deceased,Peter Rumpf, whose body I have identified this morning in the Williamstown morgue was my father. I last saw him alive about three months ago at the Oakley Shire Hall. I did not speak to him. As far as I know, he lived in the British Hotel, Queen Street, Melbourne. I didn't think he lived at Spottiswood since November last, but he had lived there for about ten years previously. he owned property in Spottiswood. He did not get into any financial difficulties that I know of. I am certain that he had no debts to embarass him. Before November last he was living wit his daughter at Spottiswood. Through incompatability of temper he broke up his home there and went to live in the hotel in Melbourne. I was in business with deceased up till last August, when we separated on account of deceased's bad temper. He occasionally indulged in drink to excess. He never at any time threatened to committ suicide. I know that he got a contract at Oakley, but I don't think that he had started it at the time of his death. He had quarrels with my sister and my brother-in-law, but only through temper and drink. I claim one half share in a quarry which deceased had at Footscray, but I never had any dispute with him about it. I simply left him and did not dispute any of the business with deceased. He was quite healthy so far as I know. When he got the worse for drink at night he would be all right in the morning. He never suffered from depression of spirits. He got into this condition once or twice a week. My father was 75 seventy five years of age last birthday. I know of no one about Spottiswood who would do him any harm. The spot where Captain Shrussell pointed out to me as a likely place for him to fall into the river, is near the sewerage works, and my father was interested in such works and might probably be paying a visit there. He was very childish in his ways this past few years. Deceased always carried a watch, and he commonly carried souvereigns about with him.

  • 15 Jun 1881: BERWICK METAL.
    To the Editor of the S. B. & M. J.
    SIR,—In your issue of June 8th, I saw a long rigmarole of mistatements signed "P. Rump," which I beg your permission to contradict. Rumpf tries to make out that the stuff the railway contractor had quarried was the only portion of Gibb's quarry that was condemned, which he knows very well is not true, as the Engineer-in-Chief, Mr Higinbotham, in the presence of McNeil, the contractor, condemned the quarry generally. The Dandenong Engineer has long ago found out his mistake in making the report that Rumpf alludes to. Rumpf says that he has always given satisfaction with the metal that he has supplied from Gibb's quarry; does he remember the one hundred yards he supplied to the Cranbourne Shire Council from Gibb's quarry, when the Councillors in whose riding it was delivered drew the attention of the whole Council to the inferior quality of the metal ? Three members of the Council were appointed to examine it, and having done so, they pronounced it as "Not being stone at all; nothing but rubbish." As for the metal Rumpf supplied to Caulfield Council, I will give you an extract of the Engineer's report from the Brighton Southern Cross, May 12th: "The Engineer complained of Rumpf's metal as being very inferior, instead of being two-and-a-half-inch (2½) metal ; it was for the most part, one-inch-and-a-half, ½-inch, and full of rubbish, and in his opinin two (2) shillings per yard be deducted." If that is giving satisfaction, I can well understand the metal from Gibb's quarry everywhere giving satisfaction. Rumpf's mistake in sending the metal to Caulfield was in not properly packing such tender material and labelling it "This side up; with care." If that had been done, the shaking of the railway would not have broken it from 2½-inch to 1-inch and half-inch metal. Rumpf also states that the neighbouring shires are supplied with metal from Gibbs's quarry—a statement which is utterly untrue, as I have quite recently supplied Cranbourne, Dandenong, and Berwick with metal. He also says that the road from Bain's to the railway gates was made with metal from Gibbs's quarry and is equal to anything in the colony. There is very little heavy trafflic on that road, and what little there is it would not carry until it was patched up by the dayman with the main road maintenance metal brought from Wilson's. That road has cost more to maintain than the whole road from Berwick to Dandenong, which was made with stone from Wilson's quarry. Rumpf says that Wilson's quarry is a thing of the past but it is also a thing of the present, and will be of the future, when Rump and Gibbs's little quarry will be forgotten.—Yours truly, W. WILSON, JUN.
    Berwick, June 13th, 1881. William Wilson9
  • 22 Jun 1881: BERWICK METAL. To the Editor of the S. B. and M. J.
    SIR.—In your issue of the 15th instant I noticed Wm. Wilson junr., has again been guilty of making incorrect statements. His first mistake is, in stating the Engineer-in-Chief condemned Gibb's quarry; as that gentleman has not seen the quarry since I opened it; so, how could he condemn it? Mr McNeil made an attempt to open a quarry, but made a mess of it. He says the Dandenong Engineer has long ago discovered his mistake in reporting so well on metal delivered by me. Did the Engineer tell Wilson so? or does he (Wilson) only fancy that the Engineer ought to think so? I suppose it will be the latter. I delivered most of the metal required by Dandenong lately, and have had not the least trouble. At Cranbourne, the Engineer, supported by all the Council but three, pronounced my metal to be very good; they even accepted some which I delivered in excess of my contract. I admit that I had great opposition to contend with in opening a new field for Berwick metal, but I have been successful in the end. My metal has been accepted (even some 200 yards in excess of my contract), and am asked to supply more, the reduction of two shillings per yard not being made. The road from Bain's to railway gates is the main road to the railway station, and therefore it stands to reason that it has more traffic than any other road about Berwick. As to the road being made good with Wilson's metal, and costing so much to repair, he might tell that yarn to the marines ; nobody about Berwick (excepting himself) would believe any such thing. He is wrong in stating that Berwick main road has been constreuted with metal from Wilson's. I have metalled portions of it from five different quarries (Gibb's included).—I am, sir, yours respectfully, PETER RUMPF.
    [We have excised a portion of this communication that appeared to be more personal than politic, publishing only what is a fair reply to the statements made by W. W. junior last week. This correspondence must now cease, as anything further could only partake of the character of personal ill-feeling.—ED.]10
  • 22 Jun 1881: To the Editor of the S. B. & M. J.
    Sir,—I notice a controversy is being carried on in the columns of your journal between Wm. Wilson and P. Rumpf, about the quality of the metal from the two district quarries. As they are both contractors, and are interested in the quarries in dispute, their opinion is to be taken for what it is worth. As far as I can learn, the following are the facts of the case: The Caulfield Council has been supplied with Richmond metal for years, but this year, I am glad to say, Mr Rumpf had sufficient enterprise to tender for the supply of 2,000 yards, and was fortunate in being successful. The total amount of his tender being something over £800. naturally the Richmond contractors felt annoyed, and used every means at their command to persuade the Council of the inferior quality of the Berwick metal. No doubt the paragraph quoted by Wm. Wilson in your last issue emanated from that source. Now, I think it ill becomes any resident of Berwick to injure the district. If Mr Wilson is so confident that his metal is so much superior to any other metal in the colony, his proper course is to do as Rumpf has done, viz., tender for work, and give the Caulfield and Malvern Councils a practical proof of the quality of his metal. I am satisfied such a course would do more to establish the superiority of the Berwick metal than any newspaper puffing. I am expressing the feelings of the workingmen in this district, when I say that Mr Rumpf deserves our best thanks for having caused hundreds of pounds to be spent in wages here, which would otherwise have gone to Richmond, and this at a time when we were very much in want of work.—Yours, &c., A WORKING MAN.11

  • 27 Apr 1895: A CONTRACTOR FOUND DROWNED.
    The body of Mr. Peter Rumpf, contractor, who resided at Newport, was found yesterday in the Yarra near the steam ferry at Newport. Constable Roberts removed it to the morgue at Williamstown, where a magisterial inquiry will be held at half-past 12 o'clock to day). So far the police are aware of the circumstances leading up to Mr. Rumpf's death. His face was marked and scratched, but this was due probably to the action of the tide throwing the body against the bank of the river. There were no evidences of foul play, and when found the deceased's watch and chain were still in his vest. Mr. Rumpf was 76 years of age, and the father of a grown-up family.14
