THE CAHILL FAMILY.
Jack Cahill when he first came from Ireland settled for a short time on the gold bearing lands of Lambing Flat. Turning his eyes towards the plains of the Monaro we find him numbered among those men who pegged small selections which eventually became part of the original 'Dry Plain' station.
Jack had followed the timber trade in Ireland, however it was not until after the Dry Plain venture that we see him returning to his tools of trade. He moved to Yarrangobilly and once again worked in earnest amidst his much loved timber, fashioning it for dwellings that would stand for many years.
Artists in their own right, these early bushmen loved the touch and the smell of the bush. With a hushed reverence they swung their adzes, fashioning slabs and shingles that would become craftily interwoven into mountain homes. These homes would give security from the climatic onslaughts that beset man and beast in this land.
During this time Jack Cahill met and married Elizabeth Lovelock and from this union came fourteen children.
Jack and his boys split the timber for Campbell's Hotel, Yarrangobilly; timber and shingles for the Rule's Point Hotel; slabs and shingles for many mountain dwellings and post and rails for many fences. One being that which surrounded the first pound in Kiandra.
Among the homes built was that of George Harris. Jack often told the story of how he had to have the house finished for the new bride. The work w as just completed when George arrived on horseback with his bride sitting behind him and his pack horse laden with a great variety of worldly goods
Jack and his boys cleared the Yarrangobilly race course for ninepence an acre, that was considered good money in those days.
Jack and Elizabeth retired to Scrubby Comer (near Grace lea Island). Jack died shortly after, and his widow lived for many years in the old town in a house built for her by her boys
