History
Brumby was employed in the Redan quarries. In October 1924 he was injured while working: "LEG BROKEN IN QUARRIES BALLARAT, Friday.— While working in the face at the Redan quarries this afternoon George Brumby, 30, married, was struck by a large spall, which fell, from a high point. It just missed his head, and broke his leg."

He is most likely the man mentioned in April 1934 in a fatal accident at Hillcrest (midway between Snake Valley and Smythesdale): "A man identified as George Henry Brumby, aged 40 years, labourer, of Hillcrest, was found on Monday morning dead beside a bicycle on the road to Hillcrest post-office. The body was taken to the city morgue. Mr. W. R. Reid, J.P., deputy coroner, opened an inquest, which was adjourned to April 19. A post-mortem examination is to be held."
