Samman Lummis, baptised 31 Dec 1826, learned farming as a child, becoming a good ploughman. He went to London about 1848 and obtained work with a firm of painters and glaziers. It is claimed he worked on the glazing at St Pancreas Railway Station, and the installation of the King James II window in the House of Lords.
He attended a lecture on Australia and decided to board the Ballarat at London on 25 June 1853, arriving at Port Phillip on 28 Sept 1853. He was able to establish a farm at Murphy's Creek, and later assisted his three sons establish their own farms.
During the first World war he sold most of his horses to the Defence Department. He was active until his death in 1923, aged 97 years, and is buried at Dunolly.

Arthur Robert Lummis [1862-1954] married my Grandfather's sister, Elizabeth [1864-1945] in 1888 in Mooroopna. Arthur was a grain dealer & around 1885 was a partner in the coach building business, Hoyle, Lea & Lummis. Apparently he was also something of an entrepreneur because he converted his grain store into a roller skating rink to take advantage of the new craze, during the winter months. He also ran old time dances in the same building & acted as the Master of Ceremonies. Arthur bought a farm at Undera in 1898 when he sold his grain business, he sold the farm in 1914 & settled on a larger area of land at Gilgandra NSW. Arthur & Elizabeth had 5 children all born in Mooroopna.
