James (Jim) Smith, (died 03/08/1974, aged 93 years) established an orchard growing snow apples near in Happy Valley after returning from mining activities in South Africa. The orchard was called "Springdallah" and was beside the Linton/Happy Valley Road across from the old Happy Valley railway station. Jim was the son of George Henry Smith (18/12/1840 - 26/11/1903) and Emma Keys Smith born Keys (07/08/1842 - 28/08/1888). George and Emma left Liverpool with other unassisted immigrants on the "Bates Family" ship with baby Clara on 08/06/1863 arriving in Melbourne on 08/06/1863. George and Emma emigrated to Australia on the invitation of Emma's brother Edward Keys who owned a property near the school at Happy Valley on which there were two houses. Teddy offered George and Emma the smaller one to live in. When "Teddy" decided to go into hotel keeping George took over the 200 acres of his property and made it a pleasant orchard and garden called "Cress Green Gardens". George had various secretarial jobs - rate collector; paymaster at the mines; until he became Shire Secretary for the Shire of Grenville, whose centre was Linton and Government Auditor for Western Victoria (1894-1903), the means of transport being horse and buggy. Another son followed his father as Shire Secretary. George and Emma had 14 children, Emma dying giving birth to Emma Keys who lived for 16 months. George later married Annie Bolte with 2 more children being born. Annie later sold the property. The land was used for grazing and the two houses fell into disrepair. In 1995 George's grandson Ernest (Alf) Alfred Watson visited the site and reported a wrought iron gate at the site and a mulberry tree near the site of his grandmother's family home. Bluestone blocks can still be seen in the paddocks from the roadside. The child in the photograph is Phyllis Joy Smith, Jim's eldest daughter. Jim Smith was the brother of Clara Emma Yung nee Smith.Sepia photo of two men and a girl. One of them is Jim Smith who established on orchard at Happy Valley.

Doctor Lilian Marjorie Cleeve was born in 1915 and died in February 1996. She grew up in Moonee Ponds and graduated as a Doctor from the University of Melbourne School of Medicine in 1941. She completed her training at the Women's Hospital in Melbourne between December 1940 and January 1941 where she delivered her first baby, Beverley Margaret Manley. In 1942 at the beginning of the war with Japan, Doctor Cleeve travelled to Bendigo. The train was full of soldiers travelling to camp at the Bendigo Showgrounds next to the hospital (now the Tom Flood Centre). Because of the war, the streets were in darkness. Some soldiers carried her suitcase to her new home. Doctor Cleeve immediately began work as the hospital Registrar. Later on she specialized in the delivery of babies, who always seemed to be born on her days off. After leaving the hospital Doctor Cleeve joined the medical practice of Doctors Gorman and Grant (husband and wife). Their rooms were on the corner of View and Mckenzie Streets in the Atkinson building (named after Doctor Harry Atkinson). Doctor Cleeve then established a medical practice in Garsed Street where the Dan Murphy Car Park is now located. Later Doctor Cleeve ran an eye clinic with Doctor Gorman's son, on the other side of Garsed Street. She also used to visit Puckapunyal Army Base to screen both the regular army recruits and the conscripts who were sent to Vietnam. Doctor Cleeve last worked as part of the associate medical staff at the Bendigo Teachers' College in Osborne Street from 1979 to 1980. In 1944 Lilian married Sargent George Cathcart (Fortuna Army Survey Regiment). George was the secretary/treasurer of the Bendigo Branch of the Liberal Party. They lived at 96 Moore Street ('Silver Birches'), close to the hospital. George and Lilian had one son, Andrew. George passed away from a heart attack in 1957. Lilian married Roy Lockart Chisholm in 1960. Roy was the manager of the Charing Cross Branch of the CBA Bank. Not long after their marriage, Lilian (now Mrs Chisholm), Roy, and Lilian's young son Andrew, took a honeymoon voyage on the cargo vessel "Milos" to Hong Kong, Japan, New Guinea and Borneo, where they visited the Sandakan War Memorial. In 1960 Lilian sold 96 Moore Street, and following Roy's retirement, they purchased a house which they named 'Roslyn' at 28 Reginald Street, Quarry Hill. Roy died in 1963 after suffering a stroke. Respected and well-liked, Mrs Chisholm continued to raise Andrew in Reginald Street with the assistance of her faithful housekeeper Coral Suurpaa, known to all as “Hickey". Coral lived in a house in Breen Street, beside the Myrtle Street railway bridge. Prior to this, "Hickey" had lived-in at Moore Street when Dr Cleeve was widowed after the death of her first husband.

The original Kew Town Hall offices were located in Walpole Street, Kew. Before 1960, even though it had been much discussed over a number of decades, Kew did not have a 'civic hall'. When required, events such as balls, exhibitions or theatrical events were held in the Kew Recreation Hall in Walpole Street. A new City Hall was to be opened by Sir Robert Menzies in 1960. It was located beside the Alexandra Gardens in Cotham Road. It is now used as the Kew Library. Cr Hugh George Ferguson (at right) was born in June 1900 in Williamstown. After his family moved to Kew, they lived in Fernhurst Grove while his future wife’s family lived in Fellows Street. He married in 1940 and subsequently joined the Australian Imperial Forces. After the war he worked as a Billeting Affairs Organiser for the Dutch Government, resettling migrants in Australia. He also worked in advertising as an account manager, and was campaign director for Arthur Rylah is Victorian politics. He organised the first major trade fairs at the Royal Exhibition Buildings after the Second World War, including a World Trade Fair. He built a home in Brougham Street and represented North Ward on Kew Council from 1952 to 1968. He was elected Mayor for the 1959-60 term. He died in 1975, aged 75, and is buried in Boroondara Cemetery.An item of historical interest donated by members of the Dods family in 2006.
