From The Irwin Index newspaper, Saturday 28 March 1931:
Fatal Accident at Carnamah
"On Tuesday last, Mr. J. Nineham, who was in the employ of his brothers (Messrs H. and C. Nineham) of Carnamah, was the victim of an accident that was attended by fatal results. It is stated that the injuries were caused through a backward fall from a fence rail, his head coming in violent contact with the ground. Nineham was immediately conveyed to the Carnamah Hospital, at which institution he received treatment, but on account of the absence of Dr. Rosenthal he was subsequently transferred to the North Midlands Hospital at Three Springs, where he received attention from Dr. Mayrhofer. The injuries were found to be of an extremely serious nature and Nineham's name was placed on the danger list. Despite careful attention the victim failed to rally and passed away on the following day. The funeral took place at Three Springs on Thursday and was largely attended by family and friends."


From The West Australian newspaper, Monday 30 March 1931:

On March 22, when he was working at the horse yards, one of the horses kicked a rail off, and the rail struck Mr Nineham a terrific blow, seriously injuring his spinal column. He was hurried to the Three Springs Hospital, but little hope was held out for his recovery, and he died two days later."
