  • 25 Jun 1914: PAKENHAM. A very old resident of this district Mr Michael Kelly, died early on Saturday morning at the advanced age of 82 years. The old gentleman had been in indifferent health for some time past, but his large circle of friends were surprised to hear of his death, which occurred about 3 a.m. Mr Kelly arrived in Melbourne in the year 1852 by the ship "Lightning." Shortly after his arrival he came to this district, and has resided here ever since. Mrs Kelly predeceased him some 12 years ago. He leaves a grown up family to mourn his loss. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, and proved to be one of the largest seen here for years past.8
  • 25 Jun 1914: Pakenham. A. very old resident of Pakenham, Mr Kelly, the father of Mr Tom. Kelly, of "Minehaha," Toomuc Valley, died last week. His funeral, which was largely attended, took place on Sunday last.9
  • 9 Jul 1914: Pakenham. In a previous issue I made a brief report of Mr. Michael Kelly's death, but was unable to give full particulars of his life at the time. He was born at Kilmainham, in the County of Limerick. Ireland, 1832, and left Ireland in 1857 in the sailing ship "Lightning," and settled at Pakenham in the same year, and, with his family, resided here ever since. About 35 years ago he met with a terrible accident through a heavy log falling on him and injuring his spine, but a strong constitution and splendid vitality added years to his life. He lost his wife some 12 years ago, and her place has been affectionately taken by his daughter (Miss Maggie Kelly) ever since with tender devotion. He leaves a family of 2 sons and 3 daughters, Mr. Patrick Kelly, of Western Australia, and Mr. Tom Kelly, of "Minnehaha," in this township, Mrs. Dwyer, of Western Australia, Mrs. Mulcare, of Warragul, and Miss Maggie Kelly. He was the oldest living resident in this district, and so brought up his family, that his life still lives in them.10

  • 1 Oct 1902: It is with very great regret that I record the death of Mrs M. Kelly. The deceased lady was one of the oldest residents of this district. She had a severe illness some time ago which left her in rather a weak condition, and at the beginning of last week she was attacked with a serious affection of the tonsils, which, added to her weak state of health, ended fatally on Friday morning. The funeral, which was a very large one, took place on Saturday afternoon. The deceased lady was very unassuming, charitable, and highly respected by all classes of the community, and deep sympathy is felt for the husband and family for their irreparable loss.4

  • 15 Feb 1946: Eventful Business Career of Late Mr F. W. Were
    Few men have had as colourful a business career as Mr Francis Wellington Were, who died yesterday at the age of 93.
    A former chairman of Melbourne Stock Exchange and a member of Hobart Stock Exchange, he was a partner for 31 years of the sharebroking firm of J. B. Were and Son, founded by his father.
    He was Vice-Consul for Denmark in 1875 and Consul-General in 1891. For his services to Denmark he received a knighthood of the Order of Dannebrog.
    On his father's death in 1885 control of the firm was left in his hands.
    With his brother, the late Mr Arthur Bonville Were, a partner in the firm, he embarked on one of the most hectic periods in the history of Victoria's stock exchange. The land boom was under way, the Broken Hill silver lead field had been discovered, and the eyes of investors were turning towards gold discoveries in other states.
    In 1888 the firm put through the largest single transaction ever effected in the call room of the Melbourne Stock Exchange when a block of 15,000 Melbourne Tramway shares were sold to George W. Staples at £8/15/6 a share—a total sum of £131,625. In one day transactions of all members on the exchange exceeded £2,000,000.
    In 1887 Mr Were was elected a member of the committee of Melbourne Stock Exchange, and became chairman in 1891. He retired in 1916 and became a pastoralist. During the last 15 years he lived quietly in retirement, first at Greensborough and latterly at Heidelberg.
    His wife, formerly Miss Anne McVean, of Cressy, died in 1921. He leaves four daughters and two sons.
    The funeral will leave Mr Were's late residence, 579 Upper Heidelberg rd, Heidelberg, today at 3pm for St Kilda Cemetery.13
