[NI0322] The Life and Times of Thomas Joseph Delaney. Thomas Joseph Delaney was born in Warrnambool on 18th June 1898. He was the fifth child of Thomas Delaney and Maria Brumby. His childhood was spent on the family farm at Nirranda. Tom went to school with his siblings at Nirranda. He left school around the age of 14 and returned to the family farm to milk cows. He also spent many long hours clearing land; doing horse and dray work; picking gravel and road building. (He and Joe Couch and other locals picked the road from Nullawarre to Delaneys' Corner.) Tom married Annie Burris at St. Joseph's church Warrnambool on 21st April 1925. Tom was aged 25 and Annie was aged 28. Their witnesses were Annie's brother Patsy Burris and sister Catherine Little. Annie had been working at the Royal Hotel where she cared for the Russell children. Later Tom and John Russell went on to become priests and served throughout the Ballarat Diocese for many years. After their marriage Tom and Annie lived with Tom's mother Maria and worked on the family farm. After a short time they bought 200 acres from Peter Bradley. They moved into a three room house consisting of a kitchen/living area and two bedrooms. It was here they began family life. Tom milked a small herd of cows and began clearing the bush using 2 Jack's to fell the trees. The land was cultivated using a plough pulled by a bullock or horse team. Later Tom and Annie bought 44 acres at Whiskey Creek. This property had good spars, which were cut and sold, as there was a great demand for wood after the war. Tom and his sons Tommy and Bob spent many years clearing this block. Gravel was also supplied for the roads, which were being constructed throughout the district at the time. Contractors paid royalties to remove the gravel. In the 1930's Tom and Annie built a new home next to their existing home as their family grew. Owens built the home at a cost of 600 pounds. the cost of labour was 45 pounds. This home was spacious consisting of a kitchen, dining room/living area, lounge, four bedrooms and a bathroom. The home was surrounded by a large and well kept garden. Tom also had a large vegetable garden and orchard. Tom's garden was not only a source of great pride but also a source of many stories. To protect his vegetables Tom would pay his two youngest daughters Rosie and Margaret threepence for each white butterfly they would catch. Tom once hid the family Christmas presents in the vegetable garden only to have Bob discover the hiding place and announced to all that he knew where Santa had left the presents. Tom also had placed in his garden a scarecrow, which looked so realistic that when the local parish priest Bart McDermott once visited the Delaney home he wondered why Tom wasn't answering his greetings. He wasn't impressed when he discovered he w as talking to a scarecrow!! Tom over many years propagated and grew many thousands of cypress trees, which were sold far and wide. (One year he sold 30 thousand trees.) These cypress plantations can be seen today majestically standing along fence lines giving shelter to livestock and dwellings. Some of Tom's grand children can remember sitting/hiding in a neatly trimmed golden cypress on the front lawn of his home on a Sunday afternoon after attending mass at Nirranda then enjoying a roast lunch prepared by Jinx (Jim Jenkins ). Tom would sit on a wooden block at the end of the table and enjoy having his family gathered around him. Tom had an interest in sporting events and attended many sports meetings throughout the district. He was the leader of a tug of war team. In later years Tom was a founding member of the Nirranda South Football Club. H is name can be seen today on the 'Life Members Board' in the Nirranda club rooms. Tom was a member of the Curdievale School Committee raising funds and maintaining the school during the time that his 10 children attended. Tom with other parents and the teachers would once a year transport the students on a truck to Port Campbell where they would have sand building competitions and other activities. Tom built a cart for their small pony to transport his children to school at Curdievale. Tom was left a widower in 1950 at the age of 51. Annie had been unwell for a short time with the doctor suggesting she go to bed and rest for 6 months!! She died suddenly on 6th October at home at the age of 54 leaving the younger children to be cared for by their father and older siblings. Tom died at the age of 71 on 5th July 1969.
