411 Claud received his education at Inkermann and Owen Schools. Until his marriage he helped on the farm at Mallala (except for a period of other work during a drought). A farm was purchased belonging to the Bussenschutt family, westward of Mallala. Claud and Jean spent their farming years there. Two paddocks contained much stone and after Harvest for some years Claud carted this for road maintenance with a trolley and horses. There were neat yards of cracked stone by the roadside and patient men who sat and cracked that stone with a hammer for hours each day.
A few years of retirement were spent in the township of Mallala in the house built for his parents and much of the stone used came from Claud's property. Claud and Jean were always interested in the church and worshipped regularly. Jean convened stalls for fetes and entertained visiting ministers and students.
After a few years of widowhood Claud remarried Mrs Gladys Holder. He served the church as a trustee and was secretary for some years. During these years a vestry was added and a great deal of thought and work was put into this building. He was also green keeper for the bowling club for several years and thoroughly enjoyed this open air employment and took great pride in it. His bowls were presented to the Mallala Club after his death. After a stroke in 1973 he was very much handicapped. He died in Mallala Hospital. (The Tucker Family in Australia, 1992)

412 Claude, as he was known, completed most of his schooling at Brookton, Adelaide and Hoyleton. he went to Pinnaroo with the family in 1924 and there met and married Beatrice. After marriage the couple went dairy farming for a while at Murrabit. However the Mallee soon pulled them back, (Claude used to say that he got sick of water running into his gum boots) and they went farming at Paruna.
There, amongst other things, Claude was Chairman of the local District Council. Later with maturing sons, Claude and Beatrice were to leave the Mallee and head for a wetter climate, carving a thriving dairy farm from mostly virgin scrub at Parawa, south of Adelaide. When son Maurice took over the farm Claude and Beatrice spent their retirement in Victor Harbour. (The Tucker Family in Australia, 1992)

During this period he met his future wife, as she would have been on a farm nearby. He and his brother Hurtle did a trip to Victoria, which would have been a major adventure. They probably visited Marshman Uncles as many of George's brothers had moved interstate. This was the only time Clem ever lift his home state.
In approximately 1914 Clem and Myrtle, and eldest daughter Audrey, moved to Kilkenny where Clem worked in the wool stores. In approximately 1916 they moved to the farm they purchased on the outskirts of Owen. They became very involved in the affairs of the town and church. Clem was a lay preacher, and Sunday School superintendent for 32 years (1919-1952). Clem was also involved in the various organizations of the town. He was a very good public speaker and had a good singing voices. He enjoyed tennis, golf and dancing. He was known for his kind and outgoing nature and never saw faults in people, only the good in them. He was highly respected in the town.

Clonlea is in the barony of Tullagh. It is 4.5 miles (7.2 km) to the north of Six mile bridge. It contains the village of Kilkishen. The parish is 5.5 miles (8.9 km) long and up to 3.25 miles (5.23 km) wide, covering an area of 8,833 acres (3,575 ha), some of which is covered by lakes. These include Lough Culleaungheeda, Lough Doon, Lough Clonleigh, Clonbrick and Castle-lake.[3] There is a holy well dedicated to Saint Sen?n of Iniscathy on the edge of Clonlea lake.[4] The ruins of the old parish church and the burial ground are on the southwest shore of Clonlea lake.

History[edit]

Clonlea, Kilseily and part of O'Brien's Bridge (Tr?gh) used to comprise the district of Ui Floinn, the land of the O'Flynns. This sept is little known, but there is a mention in MacGrath's Wars of Thormond of the battle of Magh Duine around 953 in which Lachtna, uncle of Brian Boroimhe, slew three of the O'Flynns. The old burial ground is said to contain the remains of one John Cusack, of Kilkishin Castle, who is said to have earned the hatred of the people by acting as a discoverer of the estates of the Catholic gentry. The first church at Kilkishen was probably built very early in the 19th century. It is mentioned in an 1811 report of a dispute that led to violence over who should sit nearest to the altar.

As of 1831 the parish had 3,105 inhabitants. In 1841 there were 3,749 in 579 houses. In 1834 there were 3,274 Catholics and 60 Protestants. There were 60 limekilns, used to make lime to fertilize the soil. The parish was part of the Catholic union of Kilkishen, which also included the parish of Killuran. Each year two fairs were held at Enagh, and three at Kilkishen. Major renovation or reconstruction of the church was completed in 1865. The fair called Enagh O'Floinn was still being held late in the 19th century, although the sept of the O'Flynns had died out more than five hundred years earlier.

Today the civil parish is part of the Catholic parish of O'Callaghans Mills, which also includes the old parish of Killuran. It is served by the church of St Senan's in Kilkishen.

443 Cyril was born into a loving family that was shattered by the untimely death of his mother when he was 6 years old. His life suddenly changed: he and his younger brother were placed with their grandmother Miriam Jane Hawkings.
Cyril went to school, first at Warnertown, then at Warunda when his father moved the family to Wanilla, Eyre Peninsula. The school there was south of Warunda Siding, in a weatherboard and galvanized iron building that doubled as a Methodist Church at Warund Creek. The Holman family attended Big Swamp Methodist Church travelling 10 miles by horse and buggy. There were plenty of Kangaroos about in those early days and the Holman boys used to chase them about the scrub when not at school. Cyril was taught to use a gun with care by the age of 9 years.
After the property at Wanilla Failed due to excessive rains (40 inches in 1910) and heavy leaching, the family was forced to move in 1912 to Cummins. (forty five years later the government used super and trace elements to overcome these deficiencies.)
Cyril worked for the Nosworthy family at Cummins for several years before moving to Kyancutta. They had a wagon and team, buggy and horses, and a spring dray with an outrigger with three horses. The road was close to the railway line in places; Cyril was waling beside the horses for a spell, when he noticed them prick up their ears. He realized at once a train was coming. He quickly jumped into his seat, by which time the horses had veered across the line with the train bearing down on them. Cyril with his skilled horse-handling was able to turn them aside in time. the scrub was logged using a felled mallee as a roller, pulled by eight horses; there were open plains that were cropped first. Initially, the family lived in tents under a government shed; later rooms were built under the shed.
Cyril had a life-long love of horses. he took great pride in his team and treated each one with special care. he had two race horses, "Sheik" and "Sandy", that ran at the Saint Patrick's Day Picnic race Meetings at Kyancutta; these meetings were known far and wide. One of the horses, "Sandy" (registered as "Wannamanna") won the trials in Port Lincoln races in the 1920s, "Sheik" and "Sandy" were successful horses for Cyril; at Mt Wedge, "Sheik" won the Cup and "Sandy" the Ladies' Gold Bracelet on the same day.
Cyril and Mary lived in a wood and iron house on Section 18. On 21/12/1922, Cyril purchased Sec 5 and in 1923 he built rooms under the government shed. Times were hard; they survived the depression years, droughts, rabbits, grasshopper plagues and lack of permanent water. Undaunted by this, Cyril always managed to smile and keep going.
He was a skilled footballer, winning the Kyancutta Club's "Best and Fairest" Gold Medal 1923. his close involvement with the club lead to his being awarded life Membership.
Cyril loved dancing and was Master of Ceremonies at many social functions. He always took to the dance floor first for the Polka Mazurka and the Four Step Ploka. Cyril was also a member of the Kyancutta Rifle Club. During World War II he was given the rank of Acting Sergeant in the Volunteer Defence Corp on part-time War Service. He was president of the local Liberal Pary. He was involved with the Agricultural Bureau and participated in crop improvement competitions; as a result he won two trophies (silver cups) in 1933 and 1940. He was a strong supporter of the Kyancutta Methodist Congregation. Services were held in the community hall until 29/10/1979, when Cyril had the honour of opening the Kyancutta Methodist Church. Another of Cyril's involvements was with the Free Masons; he held many positions.
After the war when farm commodity prices improved, Cyril was able to build a new stone house on the property. He and his son, Clem, raised the stone and did the work, labouring for a builder. He said at the time, "You need a strong arm and a weak head". In 1964, Cyril and Mary retired to Port Lincoln. Cyril's active life-style did not change: he joined the Kirton Point Bowling Club, worked for the "Old Folks Home" and "Meals on Wheels".
Mary died of cancer in 1976. In 1981 Cyril married Mrs G. Wells. As active as ever Cyril celebrated his 84th birthday in New York, U.S.A.; during his travels Cyril became ill and six weeks after he returned he died suddenly of a heart attack. He was a man loved by all for his energy, his humour and his attitudes to life. (The Tucker Family in Australia, 1992)
