The 1884 Government Mining Register noted Hugh as a licensed engine driver at Goldsborough which is between Moliagul and Dunolly. Hugh and Elizabeth’s marriage notice appeared in the Bendigo Advertiser 16 August 1888: DEASON – SCADDAN On the 4th August at the residence of the bride’s parents by Rev W Williams. Hugh M, third son of Mr J DEASON of Mt Moliagul, to Elizabeth A, second daughter of Mr W H SCADDAN of Eaglehawk. Hugh and Elizabeth lived in Fryerstown after they were married in 1888 and were still there in the 1920’s. They owned approximately three acres: 2 acres facing High Street (Parts 1a and 1b of Lot 14) and 1 acre facing Maglise Street (Lot 9b). This effectively gave then a large parcel of land on both sides of Fryers Creek where the good soil enabled them to have an orchard. Their house was still in use (2002). Hugh and Elizabeth were keen orchardists and were mentioned in a 1926 newspaper article as hosting a meeting of fruit growers: Mr Tomlinson, district fruit expert, met a representative number of fruitgrowers on the orchard of Mr H Deason, at Fryerstown, and gave an interesting demonstration on orchard pests. Mr Tomlinson explained that the best way to eradicate codlin[g] moth was to bandage the trees in the autumn and destroy the grub during the winter. A small thrip fly is giving the orchardists much concern, as it destroys the flower bud of the apples. Hugh and Elizabeth’s grave is located in the Eaglehawk cemetery - row 1K8 in the Methodist section. Hugh’s burial record noted him as an engine driver.
