Personal Notes:
William Pike and family arrived in the Coolamon District about 1858 and set up a dairy with 40 cows. Butter was transported to Wagga Wagga and Gundagai. William had some success with gold mining in the 1860s. By 1870 he had operated a successful hotel at Cowabbi, he had his licence transferred and opened a hotel at Sebastapol near gold reefs. William and Elvira died within one hour of each other, succumbing to the 'flu epidemic of 1891.
