Jim met Reece at the refreshment rooms in the Bacchus Marsh railway station where she worked.9
 
Jim's Railway Work
Jim was a railway man for all of his working life. He was a guard.10,11
 
Not long after Jim and Reece married, Jim was stationed at Murchison. He was there for a couple of years and they lived in Station St, Murchison.12,13,14,15
 
I stayed with them [Jim and Reece] in Murchison for a day or two when Jim was stationed there. I remember pushing Beverley in a pram up the street to get a few things for them. Bev's age will tell you what year that was. Jim would let me ride in the guards van with him and all the goods, crates of chooks, cats, dogs, birds, anything the rail used to carry those days which was nearly anything. Wouldn't happen today, those were the days. [Laurie Phillips]16
 
In September 1936, Ellen stayed with Jim and Reece in Murchison. Danny was in Una hospital in Shepparton at the time, and he planned to return to Bacchus Marsh with his mother for a holiday.13,17
 
Jim was then stationed for a couple of years at Seymour (they lived in Anzac Ave, Seymour) and Ultima before moving to Warragul where he remained for most of his working life.12,18
 
In 1949, Jim, Reece and daughter Bev were living at the railway station in Warragul. By 1954, they were in Alford St.19,20
 
Cerise Phillips died at Heatherleigh hospital in Hawthorn on 22 November 1954, aged 52. She was buried at Warragul cemetery on 24 November. The funeral was at St Joseph's church in Warragul.7,6,21,8
