Walter LEMON my Grandfather was the youngest son of the family, being born at Nubba on 19th March, 1901. He would have been about 5 when the move was made to Mildil, so his schooling would have been there. After school he was also drawn to the land. He married Eileen ELLIOTT, on 28th February, 1925.
Eileen was born at Yalgogrin on 24th December, 1903, the daughter of Mr & Mrs. Fred ELLIOTT who were engaged in farming.
Walter & Eileen after 12 months share farming with Walter WORNER in the Wyalong area moved to Weja Siding.
Walter & Eileen took up residence at Weja in March, 1926 and Walter began to build their home. On 15th June that same year Walter became the local Post Master, succeeding George WALLACE. Eileen managed the Post office and General Store and was well known for her courteous attention to all matters in the Post office, and her work on the exchange, especially during the bush fires and was commended by all.
