1897 - A Mudgee HawkMr. John Honeysett; of Tallewang, writes to the Mudgee Western Post:— "I saw in your paper last week where a large hawk had been shot. I am now sending you the dimensions of one shot at Tallewang recently. It measures 8ft. 4in. from tip to tip of the wings; from point of beak to tail, 3ft. 8in.; from tip of beak to back of head, 7in.; when standing it measures 18in. to the top of its back; its claws will clasp anything 6in. in diameter, and its eyes are as large as good-sized agate marbles. It is what is commonly called the black eaglehawk. It was shot by William Honeysett, and may be seen by anyone at Tallewang."

Honeysett — Shearman
St. Mark's Church of England, Goolma, on Saturday, 26th September, the marriage was celebrated of Miss Nell Shearman, daughter of Mr. R. J. Shearman and the late Mrs. Shearman of "Nellen View," Goolma, and Mr. Richard Honeysett, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herb. Honeysett, of Tallawang. Rev. L. V. Caldwell officiated.
As the bride entered the church on the arm of Mr. W. J. Scifleet, of "Kia Ora," Binnaway, (brother-in-law), the congregation sang, "The Voice That Breathed O'er Eden." Mrs. W. V. Shearman presided at the organ. The bride wore an ankle length frock of white tree-bark crepe, trimmed with pin tucks and lace panels and sleeves. The dress clip and buckle, also the bride-groom's buttonhole spray, were sent by a cousin from England. She carried a very handsome bouquet of lilies, and wore a very beautiful embroided tulle veil (lent by Mrs. Stanley Berry, of Sydney). The veil was held in place by a three-row coronet of orange blossoms.
Mrs. Bob Yeo, of Merrygoen (cousin of bride), was matron of honor. She wore an ankle length frock of powder blue georgette with frilled godets, with picture hat to match, and carried a bouquet of blue lupins, tinted lilies, may and tulle. Miss Hazel Skinner, of Goolma (niece of bride), attended as bridesmaid dressed in an ankle length frock of dusty pink georgette with frilled godets. She wore a picture hat to match, and carried a bouquet of pink lupins, tinted lilies, may and tulle. Mr. Roy Stewart, of Goolma (cousin of bride), was best man, and Mr. Les Honeysett (brother of bridegroom) attended as groomsman. Little Valma Scifleet, of Binnaway, and Valerie Deveigne, of Goolma (nieces of bride), were trainbearers. They were attired in ankle-length frocks of colored frilled net, the former wearing pink and the latter blue. They each wore halos of pleated net and coronets of tiny flowers, and carried tiny gold baskets filled with pink and blue lupins, may and tulle. The church was tastefully decorated with stocks, Iceland poppies and sweet peas.
The reception was held at the Goolma Hall. The catering was in the capable hands of Mrs. Boyd, of Gulgong. The bridal table was adorned with a handsome three-tier wedding cake made by Mr. Sweeney, of Gulgong. The bridegroom's present to the bride was a handsome handbag, while the bride's gift to the bridegroom was a set of initialled gold sleeve links. The bridesmaids received a chrome boudoir clock and the matron of honor a crystal necklet, while the tiny train-bearers each received a brush, comb and mirror set.
The bridal party was driven by Mrs. C. R. Niven of Spring Ridge. The happy couple left by car for Sydney, where the honeymoon was spent. The bride travelled in a Wedgewood blue lemere frock, and hand embossed satin backed metalasse coat, hat and shoes to match. Their future home will be at Goolma.
