1918 - [FUNDRAISING]
The employees of the Tallewang (near Gulgong) iron mines have presented the District Hospital with a cheque for £10. The Mebul subsidised school also made an appeal for funds for the hospital. This is the first school in the district to make an attempt to raise funds for the hospital, and although there are only nine children attending the school, they collected the sum of £2 6s. 6d. from the few people residing in the locality.

WILFRED O'BRIEN
In 1913, Wilfred's older brother, Eugene O'Brien, was working as overseer at Goodiman (listed on Census) but he later lived in Marrickville, Sydney, after their father (John Michael O'Brien) got a teaching transfer to Sydney. John Michael had taught for 28 years at Tallawang and the family was well known in the Gulgong district. Wilfred had a bank job lined up in Sydney but broke his arm so stayed with the O'Connell's at Goodiman while it mended. His brother Charles took the bank job. Wilfred stayed on at Goodiman, ultimately taking over management of the farm after Eugene O'Connell died in 1930. Wilfred's time at Goodiman would have overlapped with some of the years that the Bush children lived there but stories of their existence were not passed on in the family. There is one remaining photo that is thought to depict Vera Bush with Wilfred.
