IN TIMELINE
LOUIS ANDERSON & ANNIE OLIVA HANSEN
(Tasmania) Monday 4 May 1908
... Death - ANDERSON, On April 28 1908, Louisa Olympia Fredrica, fifth daughter of Louis and Annie Anderson, of Stowport, aged 3 years and 9 months (born July 1904)

(Burnie, Tasmania) Monday 1 November 1920
... ANDERSON-AITKEN.
An event of quite considerable importance in the social life of the Stowport and Natone districts occurred on Wednesday last, when the first wedding was celebrated in the building recently erected by the Church of England at Natone. The contracting parties were Mr. Albert Edward Anderson, of Natone, son of Mr and Mrs Louis Anderson, of Cooee and Miss Jessie Aitken, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs Adam Aitken, of Natone. The church building as yet lacks internal completion and furnishing, but with the help of willing workers, the interior was made quite a bower of greenery, relieved by many floral decorations, and temporary seating accommodation was provided for the large congregation of relatives and friends which assembled for the ceremony. The sanctuary was furnished with the usual ornaments, and the chancel area was very effectively decorated with flowers and streamers and a wedding bell, in the colors of the bridegroom's battalion - the 40th (Albert served in WWI at the Western Front as Private 2777 with the 40th Battalion, 6th Reinforcement).
The marriage hymn was sung as the bridal party entered the church, and 'The Wedding March" was rendered as they left, Mrs. W. G. Thomas acting as organist. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a wedding gown of white crepe foam, made on simple but graceful lines, and trimmed with silk embroidery and tassels. Her beautifully embroidered tulle veil was the work and gift of her aunt Miss A. Aitken, and was crowned with the customary wreath of orange blossoms. She also wore a handsome gold bracelet, the gift of the bridegroom and carried a pretty shower bouquet. She was attended by Misses Leah Aitken and Esca Anderson as bridesmaids, the former wearing a pretty dress of pale blue crepe, with cap of the same material veiled in shadow lace; and the latter, a white voile dress with red silk tie and sash. The same combination of colours were worn out of compliment to the bridegroom's battalion by the little maids of honor, Misses Jean and Ellery Aitken, and Nellie Anderson. The latter acted as cushion bearer, the cushion being of white satin, handsomely embroidered by Miss Effie Aitken, whose gift it was to the bride. The bridesmaids wore gold brooches, the gifts of the bridegroom.
After the ceremony, which was performed by the Rev. W. G. Thomas, assisted by Mr. W. H. Jennings, a reception was held at the home of the bride's parents, and about 60 guests sat down to a sumptuous wedding breakfast, which was spread in a large marquee erected for the occasion. The 40th Battalion colors were again in evidence in the table decorations, numbers of little red and white horseshoes being distributed among the flowers and ribbons of the decorative scheme which had as its centre a large three tiered wedding cake made on exceptionally graceful lines by Mrs J. Aitken, of Nook, whose gift it was.
At the close of the breakfast the company spent a social hour at Mr Aitken's residence, where, the handsome and useful wedding gifts were displayed and much admired.
In the evening a large company were entertained at a social gathering in the Natone Church Hall, and a very pleasant time was spent.
Mr and Mrs Aitken left by the Rotomahana for Melbourne on Wednesday evening. The honeymoon will be spent in Adelaide, and on their return they will take up their residence at 'Wattle Valley,' Natone.

(Burnie, Tasmania) Saturday 3 May 1924

The Rev. W. G. Thomas officiated. The church was prettily decorated for the occasion by the girl friends of the bride.
The bride, who was given away by her father, was attired in a tailor-made costume of navy twill, with smart black hat, and she carried a bouquet of cosmos and lilies and maiden hair fern. She was attended by her sister, Miss Nellie Hill, as bridesmaid; while the bridegroom was supported by his brother, Mr Henry Anderson.
In the evening the parents of the bride gavo a social and dance in St. Michael's Church Hall, which was attended by about 200 guests. Thc wedding presents, which were on view, were numerous. The home of the young couple will bc in Upper Stowport.

1868 - 1874 Christina Isabella Young
- Christina died aged 30 Dec 1874 aged 6
1 January 1875 - A most melancholy accident took place on Wednesday, 30th Dec., at Forest Hill. Mr William Young, settler at Hedgehope Stream, was employed during the day in burning some long flax near his homestead. Having been called away to attend to some duties at a little distance, Mr Young's eldest daughter, a little girl six years of age, seems to have gone to the place where the flax was still burning, and her clothing caught fire. Her cries attracted attention from the house, and her mother at once ran to the rescue, but was too late, the poor little creature's clothing being by that time almost entirely consumed. The services of Dr Yorath were speedily procured by Mr Young, who rode hard to town for the purpose, but the injuries received by the little girl were seen to be far too severe from the first to admit of any hope of saving her life, and she expired about 9 o'clock the same evening

NOTE
Because they had a son William in 1870 and another in 1879, there is a possibility that I have mixed 2 families. William Thomas Young may have been the trade unionist (1870-1953) who was born in Wellington to William Young & Jessie Dykes.

John's OBITUARY - It has been our painful duty of late to record the deaths of several old and well-known settlers, and it falls to us to add another familiar name to the list this morning. Mr John Morton, of Wallacetown, died at his residence late on Wednesday night. The deceased gentleman came to this colony some 23 years ago, under engagement with the New Zealand and Australian Land Company, and for many years managed their Seaward Downs estate. Subsequently he removed to the Oatlands estate, Wallacetown, the property of his brother, and a few years ago, on the estate being sold, he took up land of his own. Mr Morton was a thorough farmer, having been trained in one of the best farming districts of Scotland - Strathavon, and a better judge of stock or tillage could not be found in the district. His skill and enthusiasm have undoubtedly done a great deal towards placing agriculture in Southland in its present high position, and his valuable advice, always cheerfully given, will be missed by many less experienced farmers. The disease to which Mr Morton succumbed was, we believe, pneumonia, brought on by exposure to cold. Dr Hanan was called in when the illness assumed a serious aspect, but too late to cope with it, and gave buy slight hopes from the first. Mr Morton leaves a widow, and family by a second marriage, and several children by a first
