• Between 11 October 1926 and 15 October 1926, the Maddern house burnt down. "A daughter recalled, "The house was up near Reg's barn. It was about 1926; Mum was away with Granddad (John Maddern). My little sister, Evie had been crawling on the verandah and got a splinter in her leg. Mum had to take her to the doctor. My older sister was at home and she put a log in stove, it was too long and the door would not close. A tea towel was hanging across the stove and it must have caught light. She went down stairs to play with my younger brother who was two. My oldest sister was at home too, but went to make sure the cattle had water. Dad was working over the hill with another man and saw the smoke. The children playing outside didn't know the house was on fire.The man threw one drawer out of the window and that was all that was saved. It was a two-story house and the car was underneath, and Oldsmobile or Huppmobile. It was Dad's first car. He managed to save the car. My oldest brother Bill was away at boarding school at Grammar. My sister and I were very concerned about our "celluloid" dolls that we had received for Christmas. We used to walk to school at Jubilee Vale, sometimes ride. We came home to find the house on fire. After the fire all our belongings were lost, only the car and the clothes we had on remained. We went to live with Granddad in Crow's Nest (opposite the old racetrack up on a hill). Dad was angry that his children had to go to school in sandshoes. Orlando owned "Glenmore: and sold it to Dad when he moved to Stanthorpe. Dad added some rooms to make space for the children, Orlando only had four. Dad had planned to send us all away to Boarding school but couldn't afford to after the fire."
  According to another source, the house burnt down at the beginning of the week that Ida Hayden (daughter of William Gregory Bidgood, died. Since she died on 15 October, the house most likely burnt down between the 11th and 13th of October 1926. The old barn and some other stumps can still be seen where the house and other buildings once stood.

• A son-in-law told this story - I was working for Egbert about 1939, and secretly trained my dog on Egbert's calves. Eggy's dog "Red" was not too good with cattle. On a drive to Toogoolawah my dog proved much more useful, and Eggy was in despair. When we reached Toogoogawah and let the cattle into the railway yards, we tired up their horses near the Station and went for lunch at the pub. We were there for some time when the stationmaster came into the pub enquiring as to who owned the horses tied up at the Station. Eggy and I owned up and, on asking why we were told that " the Bloody Red dog won't let me into the building".... Eggy was proud at last of RED.
