  • 16 Dec 1916: NEW BEACONSFIELD-CLYDE ROAD.
    After many years of agitation and largely through the generous consent, of Mr Andrew Chirnside, of Berwick, a through road is now in course of formation connecting Beaconsfield with the Cylde-Berwick-road. Our illustrations depict the formidable bridge now under construction across the Cardinia Creek, close to the railway station at Beaconsfield, to the order of the Berwick shire council by Mr. Jas. Williams, of Fern Tree Gully. This road supplies a long felt want, and makes the Beaconsfield railway station accessible to a considerable number of farmers, who hitherto have had to travel via Berwick. It also opens up several thousand acres of first class agricultural land. The cost of the bridge was liberally subscribed to by local residents, and its accomplishment hastened by the energetic efforts of Cr. G. Martin and Mr. J. J. Ahern, the shire secretary.4
  • 4 Apr 1918: LAND FOR SOLDIERS. Gift by Mr. A. S. Chirnside.
    Mr Andrew S. Chirnside, of Melville Park, Berwick, has offered a poperty comprising 480 acres, about half a mile from the Berwick township, for the settlement of Beaconsfield returned soldiers. An officer from the Closer Settlement Board has inspected the land, and has reported to the Minister for Lands (Mr. Clarke) that the property is a valuable one, being suitable for potatoes and other root crops. "The gift is a most generous one," said Mr. Clarke yesterday. "Water for the land will be supplied from the Mornington and Naval Base scheme, and the property is eminently suitable for the settlement of returned soldiers. Details as to the number of soldiers that the land will accommodate have not yet been gone into.5
  • 27 Aug 1932: Engagement: Joan, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Chirnside, of Edrington, Berwick (V.), to Alec Waugh, of 35a Cheyne place, London, S.W., elder son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Waugh, of Underhill, North End road, Hampstead, England.6

  • 13 Apr 1939: Mrs. Montague Cohen
    By the death yesterday of Mrs. Montague Cohen, Melbourne charities have lost a very real and generous worker.
    Her chief interest was the Berry-street Foundling Home and Hospital, with which she was associated for more than forty years. She first joined the committee of the home in 1897. In 1899 she became hon. treasurer, and vice-president in 1913. She was elected president in 1921, a position she held until her death.
    Her enthusiastic interest in the home was shown when, in 1931, at the celebration of her golden wedding, she asked that her friends should, instead of making a present to her and her husband, make a gift for the benefit of the children in the home. In 1934 she gave a donation of £1000 to the endowment fund. She was also a generous supporter of Jewish and other charities. Her only son, Mr. Cohen, M.L.A., is in England.6
