Herald, 2 January 1951
The article says it all, really. William McAlpine was a Tramways man through and through.
He married in 1913 and he and his wife Agnes had two children, both born while they were living in Coburg. When he retired, the McAlpines were living in Shaftsbury Street, Coburg. 'Mac' was retired for over 20 years and no doubt he enjoyed time in his garden. He mentions in this article that he was 'thinking about' taking his wife for a holiday in their car. I wonder whether they went and if they did where they went.
Agnes McAlpine died in 1963 and William in 1972. They were laid to rest in the 2nd Avenue Rose Garden at Fawkner Memorial Park.
