Note	GustAV ADOLPH Schwerdt was also born at Daveyston, and after his early life in Hamley Bridge spent six years in Queensland, returning to join his bRothers at Bower for a short time. He worked in the Freeling district, where he met his wife, and after their Marriage in 1904, lived on the Fords Station, adjacent to Kapuna as a Share-farmer. Here three of their children were born.

Too wet for wheat farming, so cut Wood sLeepers for the railways and telephone poles from the Government Forest. After 9 years he moved to Kyancutta, to sharefarm again, and the next year was able to acquire his own land, 2,283 acres. Was a pioneer in this area, and fenced and CLeared the holding. Had some good crops, but still had to supplement his income by Grubbing new roads in the district. He had the misfortune to break his leg in 1935, and for some years lived in the Murray MalLee with his son Jasper, who had a Smithy at Taplan. Jasper enlisted in the A.I.F. in 1941.
