Biography contributed by Geoffrey Gillon

Joseph Nalder was the third child of William J. Nalder and Mary Ann Watson, who were both born in England but emigrated to Geelong in the state of Victoria, Australia, in 1857. Joseph was born at Linton, near Ballarat, 3rd January 1873, where his father was a farmer, but in 1878 his family moved to Towaninnie, in the Mallee, where they continued to farm.

Joseph moved to East Pingelly in Western Australia sometime around 1905 where he farmed successfully and provided land for a community recreation oval. In March 1916, Joseph enlisted to serve in WWI. He was wounded in France and was brought back to the Lord Derby Hospital in Warrington, England, where he died on 27 October 1917, less than 50km from his mother's birthplace in Rainow. After his death, some of his estate was used to erect a memorial hall in his honour in East Pingelly, WA.
