OCR: "Later he took up land and devoted himself to horticulture and fruitgrowing, his gardens being always a centre of attraction for flower lovers." The number of consecutive dahlia wins is printed as "2--years" here and "05 years" in the Penny Post, so I have not put a figure in the summary.

For “Residence” 1919 of Herbert Cole Charles

"The funeral, which was largely attended, took place on Monday afternoon, the Rev. C. T. Bryant holding a service at 'Rosewood^', and officiating at the graveside."

OCR carries a stray caret after Rosewood. "Rosewood" is a house at East Goulburn and is not in the place table, so the event is pegged to Goulburn #75 and the house is named in the summary.
