14.01.2022 Richard Culleton -1835 - 1887 - a tragic story Richard came to Victoria in 1857 aged 21 from Ireland as a free settler. He left in a hurry as he thought he had killed an English Groomsman after the English took his family property. He settled in Kilmore and drove Cobb and Co coaches on the Melbourne Kilmore run. He eventually farmed 700 acres near Kilmore . He sold in 1877 and obtained 243 acres at Pinelodge where he moved with his large family and farmed the land. Sadly -... he was killed by his son James. They had an altercation - Richard threw and axe at his son and James retaliated by throwing a piece of quartering at his father. It struck Richard behind the ear and he died almost immediately before help could be summoned. Following is part of the obituary - Seymour Free press 1887 Very great regret was felt in Kilmore this week when it became known that Mr Richard Culleton, for many years a respected member of the town prior to his selecting at Pinelodge, met with his death under very painful circumstances. Mr. Culleton was a hardworking honest man and reared a large family, and while his death is to be much deplored, the circumstances of the case render the event exceedingly sad indeed. See more

08.01.2022 Alexander Beechey- died March 1920 aged 66 Alexander was engineer to the Shepparton Urban Water Trust. He was also the caretaker of the Post Office clock. Article Dec 1904. "A peculiar accident happened to Alexander Beechey, caretaker of the local Post Office clock on Saturday night last. At 6 o'clock he went into the tower, 6 ft square, to wind the clock. While doing so the clock struck 6. Just as it finished striking he heard a grinding noise overhead, and the winding wheel... commenced to revolve in the opposite direction at lightning speed. The hand struck Beechey, tearing the flesh from his left elbow to the wrist. As the noise continued, Beechey crouched in as small a space as possible. In a few seconds a huge iron weight of 6 or 7 cwt., fell, and grazed his scalp tearing the skin off. Had he been another inch out, his head would have been smashed like matchwood. The weight struck his left thigh, bruising it in a terrible fashion. It then passed through the floor onto the landing of the staircase. Mrs. Lawrence, the postmaster's wife, heard the noise and gave the alarm. The postal officials mounted the tower and found Beechey bleeding terribly. He was brought down and revived by fresh air. Dr. Herring put several stitches in his head and arm, and said it was remarkable that the man stood such a shock. Jeanette m
