EXTRACT FROM "THE VICTORIA EXPRESS". GERALDTON, JAN 29th, 1887 (From the Dongara correspondent).
"Last Thursday, the 20th, a sad misfortune befel one of our oldest townsmen, Mr. M. Fripp. While the family were at dinner that day one of the little boys had gone outside for something, came rushing in with the news that the house was on fire. Mrs. Fripp's mother, who at that time was ill in bed, and the first thought of which was to save her, which was done none too soon. She was kindly taken in by Mr. Johnstone, the schoolmaster.
Several people came running up to render assistance but the place being low, with a thatched roof, very few things were saved. Of clothes they only saved what they had on at the time of the accident. Much sympathy was felt and expressed, not only in kind words but kindlier deeds. Presents of money and clothes were given, sufficient perhaps to meet the bare necessities of present existence."
EXTRACT FROM "THE VICTORIA EXPRESS", GERALDTON, SAT 30th,1887 (from their Dongara correspondent).
"It is often said, troubles never come alone. Some little time ago I reported the burning of Mr. Mark Fripp's cottage and nearly all his household effects. Last Monday, while Mr. Fripp was yoking a young horse in the lead, near Mr, Smith's house, the horse somehow knocked him down. He was conveyed to his home, having, it is feared, sustained some internal injury. The Rev. Dr. Tail was speedily in attendance, but the case appears to be beyond his skill, I understand that Dr. King has been telegraphed for, and will be here today (Wednesday). Mr. Fripp says he cannot move any part of his body below his head, not even a toe or finger and that he cannot feel any sensation when touched
Fears are entertained for his recovery".
EXTRACT FROM "THE VICTORIA EXPRESS", GERALDTON, SAT.MAY 7th, 1887. (from their Dongara correspondent).
"The accident to Mr. Fripp, reported in my last letter has proved badly. On Thursday the 28th April, at 1.30 a.m. he died, leaving a wife and seven children to mourn his loss. He was much respected and a great many attended the funeral on Friday morning, which was conducted by Rev, J.G. Mitchell. A hymn, chosen by Mr. Fripp, was sung around the grave as the body was laid to its last resting place. I would say "Rest in Peace".

News Item: from Chapman Valley Pioneers
As the years progressed, Yuna pioneers did likewise, and the railway line from Geraldton to Naraling gradually extended to Yuna in 1913. This was a wonderful advancement for Yuna, there were two trains, mixed freight and passenger, operating between Geraidton and Yuna from 2 p.m. each Thursday, until after midnight on Fnday.
However the Mail service was continued twice weekly by road, (Horse and Cart) until after the 1924 days. This mail service was very important for Yuna pioneers. In addition to mail, the mail man carried bread, general stores replacement parts for machines and in particular, urgent medicine parcels for sick people. After a very early start, he reached Yuna in one day, with one or two changes of horses, returning early next day. I cannot recall all these early mail men to Yuna, but I am sure, that we will remember our two old mailmen Jack Vincent, and Steve Fripp.
