William Staley lived in Inglewood, Victoria, Australia. The following is an extract from a booklet titled " A Brief History of Inglewood" by Ian J Wemyss. It was published for a back to Inglewood function. "...The South Gordon. The last mine t to be operated on a grand scale was the South Gordon. In October 1936 this company acquired a working option over a mine called the "Trivalve" on the Old Inglewood, or Jersey line of reef which had been worked intermittently from 1927 to 1936 b by the late W J Staley. Various partners over the period, lacking faith in his enterprise, tired of it, but Mr Staley's belief never wavered. He disposed of a profitable boot-repair business and invested his own money in sinking the shaft to 200 feet. With the assistance of one of his brothers, the late John Staley, stone studded with gold was exposed. Altogether, the brothers recovered about 1000 ozs of gold and only the fact that expensive machinery was now necessary for efficient operation of the ground, influenced them to part with their interest to the South Gordon Company. In its first three months of operation the company crushed 240 tons for a yield of 939 ozs. Further good crushings were obtained from easily won stone, but the all too familiar evil soon took over. Squabbles between the directors and shareholders contributed towards a stoppage of operations in June 1939, then finally a liquidation order was issued upon the company in February 1940....". Bill saw out his later years looking after the greens at the local lawn bowls club. He and Gladys lived in a large house in Grant St Inglewood. The property has since been sold.
