Latest
donation to the museum is this EPNS fruit bowl. This is a very significant
piece as it was presented by members of the Greenough Farmers' Club to Maitland
Brown in June 1904. The presentation ceremony in St Catherine's Hall had to be
cancelled due to the death of Mrs Brown. Brown was appointed the first Resident
Magistrate at Greenough (aged only 23). He later served as Resident Magistrate
in Geraldton and was instrumental in organising relief for Greenough residents
after the 1888 flood. Thank you to Peter Carew-Reid for sending this bowl over
from Queensland to the museum.
