The Co-Founders of the company were Edmund “Ted” Parsons (1855–1918) & Richard Lewis (d1909). Richard Lewis died of anthrax, a known occupational hazard in hair‑processing industries. The factory was deliberately placed on the banks of Kororoit Creek because large volumes of water were required for the horse‑hair curling process. Horsehair was washed, sorted, curled, dried, and baled, a labor-intensive process requiring skilled “drafters,” curlers, and spinners. The factory processed animal hair for use in brushes and upholstery. The building was subsequently demolished in 1987.The Parsons & Lewis Horse Hair Curling Factory was one of the most important early industrial sites in Sunshine’s heritage landscape. The Parsons family became one of the most respected families in Sunshine, both socially and civically. Their reputation was built over three generations, combining industrial contribution, community service, and local leadership.Typed Notes Parsons Line|Typed Notes Parsons and Lewis Pty Ltd 1887 to 1988|Booklet The Drawers and Curlers Parsons and Lewis 1887 to 1988 by Peter Parsons|Newspaper Article The Advocate 6 October 1993 Brothers decide to retire from century old family business Buyer sought to keep up a proud tradition and History dates to boom days of 1880s|Original Business Names Act 1928 Certificate of Registrar General of Registration of an Individual Joseph Robert Parsons 8 June 1933 for Parson and Lewis|Newspaper Article The Weekly Times 25 September 1991 Brothers hang on by a tale|Newspaper Article The Age 17 October 1994 Hair today might go for a song tomorrow|Photograph of History panel Parson and Lewis|Photograph of vacant site where factory was located on corner Morris Street and Anderson Road|Photograph of facade of Parson and Lewis Horsehair Drawers and Curlers|Photograph of Parsons and Lewis and notes saying copy of the photograph of the fire that destroyed Parsons and Lewis factory on Kororoit Creek Sunshine|Newspaper Article Sunshine Advocate 29 January 1965 Australia Day program will appeal to all at JR Parsons Reserveparsons and lewis, joseph "joe" parsons -

From Orbost it would proceed in a north-easterly way to the New South Wales border. ...Orbost and East Gippsland Railway League had proposed a railway extension through East Gippsland in 1908, which aimed to develop an isolated part of the country. At the time, construction of a railway could be considered a beneficial investment for the country as it could increase the population in the region. The proposed railway length in 1908 was about 140 miles and the cost was estimated £800,000. The line was proposed to proceed from Bairnsdale by way of the Lower Nicholson to Bruthen. “After crossing the Tambo River, it would be carried to near Nowa Nowa; the head of Lake Tyers, forward to Orbost. From Orbost it would proceed in a north-easterly way to the New South Wales border. There were different suggested routes between Orbost and the New South Wales border, the first was through Bendoc, another by the Cann River and another which is located between these two. This item is associated with the history of the Orbost-Bairnsdale railway line and therefore reflects the role that the rail line played in the social and economic history of Orbost. The Bairnsdale-Orbost railway was opened in 1916 to serve the agricultural and timber industry. Because of the decline in traffic and heavy operating costs, the line was finally closed in August, 1987.

Pleydell; Ian McDonald The 19th of March 1886 proved an important day in the lives of many early settlers in the Orbost area, because on this day the Orbost State School opened. The fact that the school had first operated temporarily in a leased building, and on a half-time basis with SS2745 Jarrahmond, did not dampen the enthusiasm of the local inhabitants as they saw their offspring commence their education under the guidance of HT Campbell Mackay. However he remained in charge only until 12th of May 1886. The second HT, John Rowe, served until 1908. On 30th of June 1887, a portable room was provided; it being brought to the area by schooner. The school now had accommodation for 30 pupils; the teacher's welfare was considered because quarters of two rooms were attached. As the population increased so did the needs of the school. This was reflected in the provision of a larger classroom in 1898. During 1910-11 the first approaches were made to the Department for the establishment of a HES in Orbost and this became a reality in 1912. Orbost HES supplied post-primary education in the district until a high school was built in 1948. This photograph is associated with the history of education in Orbost.A black / white photograph mounted on grey card. It shows a group of school children posed in rows in front of an outside wall of a wooden building. A boy in the front row is holding a sign with "GRADE " written on it.
