| Personal Notes: |
|
William came to Australia with his parents at the age offour years and was enrolled at Biarra School in June 1888 at the age of eight He left school in May 1893. As a young man he owned 'Glenmorey' in the Harlin district He is on record as purchasing a Kumbia allotment at the first sale oftown blocks on 30th July 1912, and later aggregated three farms south of Kumbia township, having acquired them from their original owners. He suffered the disability of being very deaf and, as there was little relief from that affliction in those times, he was hard to converse with and consequently was a quiet, retiring man.
He married Alma Suszbier in 1929 and they lived in the house on the Kumbia property that was built the same year. Ernie Suszbier, Alma's brother, lived with them for a while. He became somewhat confused in his later years, possibly from overwork and never having married. He was known to go around moving the barbs on barbed wire fences closer together. In late 1944 William sold the farm to his nephew Alwyn, and moved to Kingaroy where he died. Alma had predeceased him. They had no family. |

This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources. g.bell@bigpond.net.au When you click the mail address abouve, if it does not open your email app, copy the address on the screen.
