Starting from the 1939-40 financial year the Carnamah District Road Board had no address to send his rates to [3]
In March 1941 the Midland Railway Company received a letter from Mrs Dora M. EWERS of 8 Ethel Street in North Perth [34]
In the letter she stated she was his daughter and inquired about his block in Carnamah [34]
After not knowing his address for several years or receiving any rate, the block was sold to Hugh F. MCKENZIE-MCHARG in 1948 [3]
