INDEX
NotesAllan was born at Swan Hill and named after his paternal grandfather (Frank) and his maternal uncle (Angus), but he was always called by his mother, Sarah's favourite name ... Allan.
His first years were spent in the Mallee and then in Poowong where he started school, riding there with Maimie, on his pony called Linnett. The children along that road all walked or rode home together . . . the Beverlys, the McDougalls, the Glovers and the Umbers.
Allan did quite well at school and continued on at Kew State School when the family moved there. He went to Scotch College, East Melbourne, for his secondary schooling and was devoted to it no school could match Scotch in Allan's opinion. He enjoyed the school's varied activities, educational, cultural and particularly sporting - he enjoyed football, cricket, tennis and rowing and the family was kept busy following his progress in these sports.
When Allan left Scotch and moved to "Myrambeek" to work the farm, he was active in the Presbyterian Church, sang in the choir they had then, and worshipped regularly. He was very musical, had a good singing voice, played the piano well and was fond of dancing.
Maimie says she doesn't remember Allan ever getting in a temper, as he was quite placid, but he was very determined and when he set his mind to something, he always did it!
The farm was his great love and he was fond of animals ... always with a dog at his heels and Maimie remembers him going about the work out in the paddock with his favourite cat drapped around his shoulders like a fur collar.
A big man, 6'3" tall, he was involved in district affairs and of course with the football team. Allan was approached several times by Collingwood to play League football, but always refused as it would have meant three days a week away from the farm so he preferred to play with Poowong. His death, from injuries in this sport, ended a promising life and saddened all.
