General Information:
Gethin - after Richard Gethin bought out the two Dawson brothers in 1925 Ralph went to the UK for some months ... 'later returning to Sotik, where he died suddenly in his sleep one night. Ralph was a very nice fellow, but his downfall was Gin. He had been in the PWD in India and on the death of a rich uncle he and his brothers came in for quite a lot of money, most of which was invested in LM&S Railway stock, which stood at approximately £110 when the uncle died. A few years later the same shares were worth only £15.
