HISTORY OF KAHMOO
Generation One: The Beginning of an Era
William Henry Young (b. 1885) and Annie Young (nee. Schmidt)(b.1890)
In 1911 married couple William and Annie Young bought the property Kahmoo, having previously owned other estates around the Cunnamulla district (Metavale). William and Annie both lived comfortably but worked hard to grow their merino wool farm, eventually hiring many maids, cooks, gardeners and farm hands. The couple bore four children, Phyls, Colin, Gordon and another that didn't survive birth. Sadly Annie died in 1920 from blood poisoning and William eventually remarried governess, Ivy Beatrice. Up until his death in 1952, William ran a successful business, both his and Annies ashes were spread at Kahmoo.
