This is a Trove Tuesday post. Although the Tenterfield Star or the Stanthorpe Border Post have not been digitised yet for Trove , I am amazed at how much I can find about my family from Wallangarra in the Brisbane Courier. Another browse last night found this. The lesson about snake bite must have been a popular one at the time. I have a school exercise book belonging to my great uncle and in it he writes a composition about a boy getting bitten by a snake and treating it himself. McCall's sister Jane who was in fact 2 years older than William, was bitten by a death adder on 26th August 1893 and died on the way to a doctor. She was buried on her parent's property, just north of Wallangarra. William McCall later married Catherine McCaul who was my great great grandmother's niece.
