John Ettershank (?–1917)

John Ettershank, n.d.

John Ettershank, n.d.

from Pastoral Review, 15 September 1917

Mr. John Ettershank died suddenly at his residence on Langulac, Penshurst, Victoria, on the 9th July. For many years he was very closely in touch with stock and pastoral matters in the Western District of Victoria, managing from time to time various well-known properties. On leaving school Mr. Ettershank entered the service of the Bank of Australasia, but preferring country life he soon left there and went to Mohonga Station, in Riverina, N.S.W., where he worked under the late Mr. Robert Rand. He also gained experience under his uncle, the late Mr. John Ettershank, on East Loddon Estate, in Victoria. Eventually he was appointed manager at Konong Station, the property of Mr. Russell Chirnside, and latterly held a similar position on Langulac, the property of the Twomey Estates. Mr. Ettershank's death removes from the Western District a very highly esteemed gentleman, and one whose sound judgment in stock and pastoral matters has been appreciated for many years.
