  Albury Banner and Wodonga Express (NSW : 1896 - 1938) Fri 30 Sep 1938 Page 47 GOLDEN WEDDINGS Last Sunday afternoon about 80 relatives and friends assembled at 'Fairview,' Wallendbeen, to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Faulks on their golden wedding. Within a year of their wedding Mr. Tom Faulks bought 'Fairview' from the late Mr, James Corby, and has since added four adjoining properties, including one bought from Mr. George Bradman, father of the now famous Don, whose birth, however, took place at a nursing home at Cootamundra whilst the parents were in occupation of the land referred to. The original home of Mr. and Mrs. Faulks, built of pisi, still stands, farther down' the hill. It was in 1915 that Mr. Faulks had the present very comfortable brick, home erected. The family of four? Mr. Stan Faulks (whose property is alongside), Mrs. Wilfred Forsyth and the widow of the late Mr. Glen Forsyth and the single daughter, were present. The relatives among the gathering included Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Faulks, who came from Nowra for the happy occasion. After conducting his afternoon service in the historic church at Cullinga, Rev. A. J. Keeling, along with many of his congregation, went on to 'Fairview.' 'We have all come,' said Rev Keeling to the venerable couple, 'to congratulate you, and to wish you many more years of happiness. ' ' Mr. Faulks, he added, was a man of reputed integrity, who enjoyed a full measure of esteem in the community; and to him and the family Mrs. Faulks 's had been a gracious ministry. Other speakers 'among the well-wishers were Councillor W. Smirl (president of the Jindalee Shire Council), Mr. Walter Sackett (Wallendbeen), and Mr. R. H. Sweeney (of Cootamundra, late of Cullinga).
