Bettles family

Photograph at Okely Dairy (approx. 1906) with David Gordon (on far left) and Bill Bettles his half-brother (on crutches).  Dave would have been about 17yrs and Bill 7yrs. David Gordon, step-son of Richard Bettles and son of Jane Bettles (nee Dickson) was the great-grandfather of Joanne Hyland (nee Gordon). 

The family continued to reside at Carine after Richard’s death and the boys, David, Dick and Bill all worked on the neighbouring property at 
Okely’s dairy farm.
