Introduction

Pioneer - first farmer to grow potatoes at Albany W.A. The Albany Advertiser, August 1941. A PIONEER PASSES. The death on Friday, August 15, of Mr. John Mowforth, of Grasmere, removed a pioneer settler of the Albany district. Born at Cottingham, Yorkshire, in 1857, the late Mr. Mowforth came to the Albany district in 1890, and conducted a dairy for several years before settling at Grasmere. He was one of the first settlers in the district, which was then virgin bush, but he foresaw the possibilities latent in the rich swamp lands. He concentrated mainly on growing such crops as cabbages which found a ready market on the goldfields. As this industry became less profitable, he turned to potato growing, and became one of the foremost growers in the state. The Albany Advertiser. W. A., 17th August 1942. IN MEMORIAM. MOWFORTH. - In loving memory of our dear Father and Grandpa, departed this life August 15th, 1941. - Ever remembered by his loving Chas, May and Edna.
