Story
Patrick's family moved from the Coolamon area and had farmed at Peachdale,
Marrar. In 1923 he commenced a business as a commission agent in the
main street at Marrar. He was appointed the silo agent and was responsible
for all receivals and disperal of wheat in the silo at Marrar.
When they married they either leased or owned "Petesdale". They moved
into Marrar, Webb St, when the silo opened in 1922? Patrick became
silo agent and agent for Prescotts (hay and chaff merchants). About
1927 Patrick leased two properties "Moorefield" and "Menzies"
Margaret was also known as Daisy. She became a school teacher (Coolamon
1913, 1914 and a bit of 1915), and while in Coolamon met and married Patrick.
She was a very good tennis player, said to be the best from "here to Narandera
and back again".
