In 1921, Harry and Dorothy Randall lost all their possessions when their house burned to the ground. Michael Brown rented a house to the Randalls. The house was located next to the hostel in Jitarning town. Mr & Mrs Randall ran a newsagency and store which they closed when the Co-op opened, and moved to this house in 1924. Mrs Randall was the station mistress, checking goods, meeting trains and ordering wheat trucks. Mrs Randall taught music to people of the district using the Beale piano in the hall, and she also acted as caretaker of the hall. She taught Sunday School in the hall and organised regular church services. Mrs Randall was renowned for her hospitality. The Randall's son still lives in the house.
