"Everyone knew something serious had happened out Aberfeldy way, when it could not be raised by phone."
The Narracan Shire Advocate

Walhalla
20 January 1939

Everyone knew something serious had happened out Aberfeldy way, when it could not be raised by phone. Too much praise cannot be given to Mrs Rumpff, our acting-matron, and those who went out to assist. After attending each case, Mrs Rumpff saw the sufferers safely despatched to hospital, and never spared herself.
