MEETUP
MeetUp is an Australian government funded service that provides social opportunities and outings within a group setting to seniors in the Upper Lachlan area. Older people can become very isolated when they can no longer get out and do everything they used to do. At our group meetings we have all sorts of activities like quizzes, cards, guest speakers, gardening, light exercise, crafts and outings – at the end of August we are going to Crookwell for lunch. In most groups we are able to provide transport to and from the meetings (subject to where you live). We also provide morning tea and a delicious two course lunch.
If you are 65 or over you can contact Upper Lachlan Community Care on 4832 2399 to find more details. The cost of the day is $10 and is subsidised through the CHSP program. If you find this amount difficult to find we are happy to make special arrangements for you. The Taralga group are a happy lot who enjoy a laugh and the good company.
FERNBANK OPENING
The August meeting of the Historical Society discussed suggestions for the opening of the newly restored Fernbank School on the holiday weekend in October.
It was decided to obtain souvenirs for sale and to provide a barbecue lunch from 12pm. A working bee will be held the weekend before the holiday.
The next meeting of the Society will be held on Sunday, October 8.
LOCAL FAMILY HISTORY
We continue our occasional look at the background of local families:
Dominick William Fullum/Fulham/Fullem (1817-1880) at Barratown, Kildare. His wife was Ellen Dunn (1816). The couple came to the colony in 1841 on the “Livingston”. They worked for the Macarthurs in Camden before coming to work at “Richlands”. The children were: Catherine (1843-1921) married Michael Donohoe; Ann (1845-1877) married Patrick McCormack; William (1848-1906) married Margaret Cosgrove); James (1850-1912); John (1852-1924); Mathew (1855-1926); Thomas (1858-1929). Edward Joseph (1879-1936) was the son of James.
Local belief is that Dominic was responsible for surveying the Richland farms when the property was subdivided and sold.
Edward Joseph, a builder married Jessie Chalker. Their family was: Mary, William, Charles, Cecelia, Austin, Katheen, Mathew, John. James and William both owned land in the Guineacor area. This family lived in a home on the Woolshed Creek on the old Guineacor Road. Three spellings are given because family trees differ in the spelling. The family tree sent by a grandson of Catherine, Bill Sims from New Zealand uses Fullem but on the headstone of Dominick the name is given as Fullum.
