  • 15 Apr 1909: A DEMON BOWLER.
    During a cricket match at Emerald between the home team and one from North Melbourne the secretary of the local club, F. Sherriff, was struck by a fast ball and rendered insensible. Another player in the same team, William Hunt, was struck on the head by a ball, and became unconscious for several hours. His face was so disfigured by the blow that it was hardly recognisable.8

  • 11 Feb 1914: A sad drowning fatality occurred last week at Mooroopna, the victim being Fred. Sherriff, of Emerald, a brother to Arthur Sherriff, the popular Berwick footballer and Kalora Park cricketer. Mr Sherriff and Mr Nobelius had gone on a business trip to Mooroopna. While there they went to the Goulburn for a swim. After coming out of the water Mr Sherriff was standing on a sand-bank close to the river drying himself when the bank gave away and he was precipitated into about twelve feet of water. Deceased could not swim. He was locally known, having visited Berwick and played cricket with the Emerald team. He held an important position in Mr Nobelius' Emerald orchard and was a fine type of an Australian. His demise in the prime of his manhood is more than sad. His remains were interred in the Emerald cemetery last Saturday, the whole of the nursery employees marching in front of the hearse. Mr J. Grant carried out the mortuary arrangements. Great sympathy is felt throughout the district for the bereaved family in their trouble.10
  • 13 Feb 1914: DEATH OF MR. F.E. SHERRIFF One of our most valued and esteemed residents in Mr. F. E. Sherriff, aged 27 years, passed away in a most tragic manner last Thursday at Mooroopna. Having completed some work in procuring buds for the well-known Gembrook nurseries, the deceased in company with Clifford, a son of Mr. C. A. Nobelius, adjourned to the Goulburn river to have a wash. Unfortunately Mr. Sherriff, who was unable to swim, got out of his depth, and to complicate matters his foot caught in a snag, and although Mr. Cliff Nobelius made every effort to save his companion, even lowering himself in the water to enable his friend to catch his legs, which he did, a severe struggle to release himself from the snag took place without avail and most heroically to relate the drowning man finding himself unable to get free abandoned his hold on Mr. Nobelius's legs, apparently fearing both lives would be lost. His generous action was in true accord with his past life. Mr. Sherriff first became connected with the nursery as a lad of sixteen and showing special ability, instructed by the owner in all details of that great industry, was during Mr. Nobelius's travels round the world in search of markets and new additions to plant life the principal responsible person in charge. It was as a generous patron of all sport that his cheerful voice will be missed in hurrying the children and others up to the old buffers to get ready for their races. Only a month ago the F. Sherriff prize for local rifle-men was completed. Cricket, etc., all claimed his attention. He was also a strong supporter of the Emerald brass band. The funeral cortege was one of the longest known in the district, left deceased's late residence here (where his body was brought in an oak coffin from Mooroopna) on Saturday. The Emerald brass band, under bandmaster Foster, leading the way with about about sixty employees of the nursery on foot preceding the hearse, followed by numerous vehicles and horsemen. Mr. C. A. Nobelius, who was very distressed and not in the best health, followed the remains of his trusted employee to its last resting place. The greatest sympathy is felt for the widowed mother, brothers and sisters, and the respect shown must considerably alleviate their sore trial. An impressive service by C. W. Cerruty, the new warden of Fern Tree Gully parish, was held at the house and cemetery. The Emerald brass band also played "Lead, Kindly Light" and "Abide with Me" at the grave. Pall bearers were Messrs. Fisher, Greatorex, Fuller, H. Goff and P. Greatorex. M. O'Connor, of Paradise, gave valuable assistance in arranging details with Mr. Grant, undertaker, Berwick.11,12

  • 24 Sep 1891: MOLESWORTH NOTES. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
    IT has at last been definitely decided to open the railway to Mansfield on Tuesday, the 6th October. There will be only one train a day from Merton to Mansfield, with present time-table as it is.
    A meeting of a number of the local shareholders in the Yea Dairy Company was held on Monday last to choose a site for the creamery. After a number of sites had been inspected, the majority decided in favor of a site to the west of Mr. Sherriff's residence, and close and handy to the railway station.
    It is above flood level, and has a frontage to the main road. The land belongs to Mr. M'Cormack, of Balham Hill, who very generously gave the required land for the sum of £1 only. I hope the company will endeavor to get the building up with as little delay as possible, so that farmers may learn the value of patronising this daily increasing industry at once.5
  • 8 Oct 1891: Yea Shire Council. Correspondence. From A. Sherriff, Molesworth, asking permission to mine under the back road leading by Mr. Quinlan's land west of Stevens and Co.'s leased ground, and promising to make the road secure.6
  • 9 May 1895: MOLESWORTH AND CATHKIN
    Mr. A. SHERRIFF sailed last week for Westralia, under engagement to a propecting syndicate, to try his luck on the newest gold-fields there. He is a capable and practical miner, and should have a more than even-money chance amongst those already there. For my own part I should very much rather prefer to make one of a syndicate to send a couple of good prospectors up into the eastern portion of our own colony where these new tracks are being cut and opening up virgin country.7

'Tis hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart;
'Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words,
We for a time must part.
Sleep on, dear George, in thy grave,
Doctors ne'er thy life could save;
Thou to us hast said good-bye
To soar with angels up on high.
Inserted by his mother and sister.
Alas ! how soon comes death to show
We lov more deeply than we know ;
And love in life should sometimes see
What love in death alone can be.
You are not forgotten, brother dear.
Nor ever wilt thou be.
As long as life and memory lasts
We will remember thee.
Inserted by his brothers.3
