Southern Sherbrooke Historical Society Inc.Helen Coulson collection
... She started work for the shire of Ferntree Gully as a typist in January 1936. ...She started work for the shire of Ferntree Gully as a typist in January 1936. ...Obituary, Ferntree Gully News, 1st June 2022 Helen Coulson, regarded as the finest historian of the Dandenong Ranges, passed away at the age of 103 years at Echuca on the Easter weekend. Ray Peace, Knox Historical Society researcher, reports: Helen Carlyle Duncan was born in December 1918 at Tecoma, then a tiny township in the Dandenong Ranges. Helen was the only daughter of Vincent Duncan, the East Riding member of Ferntree Gully shire council in 1930-32. The young Helen was involved in community affairs early in life, taking part in a community fair at Upwey in December 1928. In February 1946 Helen married Max Coulson of Mornington, and had two sons, Graeme and Richard; in later life she became a grandmother and great-grandmother. From her early years, Helen was aware of the district’s rich history. She started work for the shire of Ferntree Gully as a typist in January 1936. In the latter 1940s, Helen was writing regular feature articles for the metro media, such as The Argus and the Weekly Times. Helen’s two interests came together in February 1952 when she was commissioned by the shire council to create a comprehensive history of the district. In a 1953 article in the Ferntree Gully & District Times, Helen described herself as ‘an everyday housewife who enjoys writing’; Helen made good use of the local media to trace some of her more elusive contacts. The project took years of meticulous research and writing to complete. Helen was doubly fortunate, not only having the support of the shire council, but also in having the book published by a major publishing house, Longman Cheshire. The Story of the Dandenongs was published in 1959 and was an immediate success. The book was reprinted in 1968 and 1982, and is now considered a collector’s item. More than six decades after publication, Helen’s book remains a standard reference for the history of the district and is considered by many to be the finest work of its type. Helen was also commissioned to create a private family history for the Chandler family in the 1970s. Helen’s love of local history did not end with Ferntree Gully. In 1959 Helen moved to Horsham in western Victoria, a city to which she was closely linked for many years, then in 1977 to the port town of Echuca on the Murray River. Once the largest inland port in Victoria, by the 1970s the river port was dilapidated, and at risk of demolition. Helen Coulson was one of the prime movers of the restoration of the Port of Echuca as a heritage precinct which remains open (and popular) today. Helen Coulson celebrated her 100th birthday at Echuca in December 2018. The event was attended by more than 100 people from all over Victoria. At the time Helen attributed the success of her first book to being the right person in the right place at the right time. Helen spent her final years in a retirement village in Echuca but remained lucid, active and engaged with the local community to the end of her life. Helen’s dedication to the cause of local history, and the published works she leaves behind, will remain as a lasting legacy in Ferntree Gully, and other areas of Victoria where she lived and worked.

According to Old Ferntree Gully Shire History, the man in the horsecart is David Charman, early Emerald resident and namesake of Charman Avenue. This is a copy of an original; part of a stamp on an older copy is cut off in the top right of the photograph. Additionally, another copy of this photograph is in our collection.This photograph captures a much earlier Emerald Main Street, almost unrecognisable today.A black and white photograph at the center of a labelled card backing.

... Shire councillor in 1887 he was charged with assaulting Charles A. Chandler, a window blind manufacturer, in response to an ‘insulting note’ left at Sweetnam’s house. Sweetnam was fined two guineas and 31 shillings. Sweetnam was also President of the Camberwell Gun Club from around 1890 – 91.

Chandler, a window blind manufacturer, in response to an ‘insulting note’ left at Sweetnam’s house. Sweetnam was fined two guineas and 31 shillings. Sweetnam was also President of the Camberwell Gun Club from around 1890 – 91. In 1893 he relocated to Ferntree Gully ...The photo was found behind a mantelpiece in the house at 6A Thistle Street while it was being renovated. It is thought to be of the first owner, Mrs Rachel Sweetnam (nee Lewis) and her husband, Thomas Edward Sweetnam. They were married on 24 September 1884 at St John's Church, Camberwell. REF: THE ARGUS 4 Oct 1884 Thomas second eldest surviving son of Matthew Sweetnam married to Rachel (Ray) third eldest daughter of Captain T.D. Lewis, Culm Haven, Camberwell. Thomas was active in land sales and variously described as a land agent, real estate agent and auctioneer. The property - Hillsboro or Hillsborough - was originally a house on a farm of 10 acres owned by her. It became 6A Thistle Street. According to the Alan Holt property register Rachel Sweetnam owned the property prior to 1890 and a family tree on Ancestry.com has that it was owned by her in c1886. It is likely that it was an investment rather than a family residence. Thomas Sweetnam was President of the Boroondara Shire 1888/89 and a councillor from 1886-1891. During his time as Shire councillor in 1887 he was charged with assaulting Charles A. Chandler, a window blind manufacturer, in response to an ‘insulting note’ left at Sweetnam’s house. Sweetnam was fined two guineas and 31 shillings. Sweetnam was also President of the Camberwell Gun Club from around 1890 – 91. In 1893 he relocated to Ferntree Gully, where he contested for the municipality’s North Riding council seat. Multiple references can be found on Trove. Note that the gentleman in this photo does bear a resemblance to Thomas Sweetman, President of Boroondara Shire in 1888-1889 found in the City of Boroondara Library Service mayoral portrait collection. No known photo of Rachel Sweetnam.
