William on 4 March 1926:
On March 4th, 1926 an incident occurred that made news throughout the state. Albert Bollinger, along with two of his sons, Fred and Sid, were accidentally poisoned. William Goudge [reported in this article as Gaudge] was visiting the “Binalong” property at Gunningbland and prepared a meal for the four men to consume. However Goudge unknowingly used water that had been mixed with arsenic in order to poison trees. This water was used to boil potatoes and the four men were taken ill. According to the doctor’s statement, the men consumed enough poison to kill 60 people. Thankfully they all made a full recovery. Not only was physical health restored but also the relationship as William Goudge was groomsman at Fred Bollinger’s wedding to May Olliver Goudge, William’s sister.1



Albert died on 11 January 1927 at New South Wales.1
