Distinguished and Famous people from Trayning
🌾 Henry Twine
Henry Twine, from the settlement then called Newcastle and now Toodyay, took up a pastoral lease at Yarragin in 1867. The site lay north of present-day Kununoppin, within the district that became Trayning Shire. The holding changed hands the following year, but his place in the council's heritage record marks an early stage of European pastoral activity in the district. Reliable water was a central difficulty, shaping where stock could be run and how properties developed before larger-scale cropping and railway settlement followed.
🐑 Charles Glass
Charles Glass became associated with Yarragin after the early pastoral holding changed hands. Appointed as manager through the business interests of Daniel Connor, he later selected his own land in the district and ran livestock until his death in 1900. His career belongs to the period when pastoral holdings preceded the wheat farms and townships familiar today. The shire's heritage inventory records this working connection, giving a named local figure to a history often described only through leases, wells and changing property boundaries.
