Death of Mrs. C. F. Smith.
By the death of Mrs. C. F. Smith, of Wollongong, the
hand of Grief has fallen heavily upon the proprietress and staff of Molong
Express, for the deceased lady was eldest and beloved sister of Mrs. Marion Leathem.
Some five weeks ago, Mrs.
Smith entered Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, for treatment of a growth in the
stomach, and in due course, an operation was successfully performed by the
eminent Dr. McCormick.
Tuesday morning last, Mrs. Leathem received intimation that her sister was progressing
very favourably towards recovery, and hopes were entertained that she would shortly
be able to leave the institution.
But, alas, these fond desires were not to be
realised; and Thursday afternoon a wire was received announcing the death of
Mrs. Smith, at 11 a.m. Needless to say, the shock sustained by Mrs. Leathem on receipt of this sad
and painful intelligence was severe, and very much sympathy is expressed for
her and her family in their hour of grief.
Mrs. C. F. Smith, was the eldest
daughter of the late Dr. Large, of Wagga. She was a native of Belfast, Ireland,
where she was born in 1838.
In the early forties, Dr. Large, with his family, arrived
in Melbourne, and subsequently practised his profession in Tumut and Wagga.
In the
latter town, Miss Large married Mr. Chas. Frederick Smith, commission agent, of
Wollongong, where the deceased lady had spent most of her married life, and was
highly esteemed by a large circle of friends.
Mrs. Smith leaves a fond
husband and grownup family of nine affectionate children (seven sons and two
daughters) to mourn their sad loss.
Five sisters and two brothers, namely, Mrs.
M. Leathem, Molong; Mrs. J.
B. Elworthy, Narrandera; Mrs. S. Lowe and Mrs. J. C. Williamson, Wagga; Mrs. W.
H. Glover, White Cliffs; and Miss Large, Wollongong.
Her brothers are Mr. John Large, Cootamundra, and
Mr. Thomas Large, Junee.
Mr. C. F. Smith was with his wife in Sydney at the
time of her death; also her son Ernest, who holds a position in the E.S. and
A.C. Bank, Newtown. One daughter, Mrs. Broughton, is a resident of Tumut.
I know thou hast gone to the home of thy rest. Then
why should my soul be so sad?
I know thou hast gone where the weary are blest, and
the mourner looks up and is glad!
Where Love has put off, in the land of its birth, the
stains it had gather'd in this.
And Hope, the sweet singer that gladden'd the earth,
lies asleep on the bosom of Bliss.

Cootamundra Herald NSW
6 March 1889
SUDDEN DEATH of Mr. J.B ELWORTHY.
It was with the deepest sorrow
that we learnt on Saturday of the death of Mr. J. B. Elworthy, the capable
journalist of Gundagai one of the pioneers of the Press in these south-western
districts. A short message informed us that he died suddenly or apoplexy.
Later information gives
the following details: — On Saturday night he was sitting with a very old
personal friend at 11.30 o'clock, and retired to bed at 12o'clock. He awoke
about an hour afterwards and complained of a pain in the chest and went on to
the balcony for air, and afterwards retired to the drawing room. He grew worse,
and Mrs. Elworthy sent for Drs. Gabriel and O'Dwyer.
On arrival the doctors
asked, what was the matter, when he said “The old enemy, indigestion” and fell
out of the rocking chair, dead!
We take the following
biographical notice of deceased from “The Centennial History of New South
Wales:” James B. Elworthy, J.P., proprietor of the Gundagai Times, is the son
of a merchant in Exeter, Devonshire, where he was born in 1833. He was educated
for the Church at the Exeter Diocesan Training College, but eventually entered
commercial life, and was for some time engaged in commercial pursuits in
London.
In 1853 the family came to
this colony, and our subject was first employed as a commercial traveller for
the Hon. Charles Moore, in the same year he visited the Hanging Rock gold rush,
but shortly afterwards returned to Sydney, and then proceeded to Goulburn,
where he engaged again in business.
After a residence there of
five years he was made the recipient of a silver salver as a testimonial from
the citizens, and removed to Adelong to take the management of the first
newspaper established in that town, and of which he was part proprietor.
He remained there for two
years, when the town became deserted for the Snowy river gold rush, he then
removed the plant to Tumut, and established the Tumut and
Adelong Times, which he successfully carried on for eight years.
In 1868, after the opening
of the Gundagai Bridge over the Murrumbidgee River, he removed to Gundagai, and
established the Gundagai Times, which has turned out under his management a successful
speculation. He has always taken a prominent part in public movements, and, was
for seventeen years a persistent advocate of railway extension to Gundagai, He is
also a strong avowed for the incorporation of the town.
He has twice been invited
to become a candidate for the Parliamentary representation of the district, but
has invariably declined. He was created a J.P. in 1868, and was a member of the
first licensing board in the town. For seventeen years he was officially
connected with the local hospital, and for many years been president of Literary
Institute and the Jockey Club.
As a journalist and public
citizen he exercises a potent influence on local public opinion.
His first wife was Miss
Watson, a niece of the late Captain Hovell, the Australian explorer, whom he
married in Goulburn. This lady having died, he married some years afterwards a
daughter of the late Dr. Large of Tumut, and is the father of
four sons and two daughters.
His relationships in this
and the Junee and Narrandera districts are well known.
We feel, however, that a
mere record of his life and principal actions would not do justice to one whom
we, in-common with so many others, have been accustomed to regard as a personal
friend and, although we write only from memory, we feel that the record of
usefulness of the deceased gentleman is one of which any citizen might well be proud,
As a journalist Mr, Elworthy was always most- careful to exclude any matter
calculated to lower the moral tone of society, while at the same time the
columns of his paper were always open to ventilate any question, no matter how
much the writer's opinions differed from those of his management.
No magistrate in the
district was more regular in attendance to the duties of the position, and his
presence on the Bench inspired litigants with a feeling that justice would be done.
A decision of his was always arrived at after a careful sifting of the
evidence.
When any movement for the
good of the district was initiated, Mr. J Elworthy was always prompt in his
attendance, and energetic in carrying out any work allotted to him. He was an
excellent chairman, and had a happy knack of preserving order, while allowing full
liberty to the speaker, and to this trait in his character may be attributed
the fact that he was chairman or president of more public meetings and
committees than any other gentleman in the district.
When a movement was to be
started, the question would be asked,' Who are we to get to take the chair?' And
the answer was almost invariably, Elworthy, if we can get him.
Mr. Elworthy was
repeatedly elected as a churchwarden of St. John's Church of England, and was
the recipient of a valuable tribute of respect from the parishioners for his
services. He was also a valued member of the choir. He was very liberal in his
religious opinions, and his help and contribution wore easily secured towards
any deserving object, no matter what sect sough this aid.
As is usually the case
with men who take a prominent part in public matters, he came in for his share
of abuse, but even his bitterest opponents never attempted to attack the
sterling truthfulness and honor of the man.
In all his commercial
dealings, he was lenient to those who could not meet their engagements with
him, while during a residence of twenty years in this district, we have never
heard of a single instance in which it was claimed that he had failed to meet
his, or that he had endeavoured to obtain an undue advantage.
Thus, whether we regard
his character as it related to the state, to the town in which he lived, or to those
with whom he was brought In contact commercially, we arrive at the same
conclusion, namely, that he was a sterling, generous, useful citizen, and one
whose place may remain unfilled for some time to come.
Mr. Elworthy leaves behind
him a family that are already marking out careers for themselves, and who will,
doubtless, endeavour to keep unstained the spotless record their father has
left them.
The funeral took place on
Monday, the order of the procession being the Mounted Police in front, followed
by the local Rifle Reserve Company, then by the Masons to the number of about
70, then the hearse followed by the carnage with the chief mourners, and then
the usual funeral procession. It is estimated that not less than 800 persons
attended.
The Church of England
burial service was read by the Rev. Mr. Edward, and afterwards the Masonic ritual
was performed.

GENERAL NEWS.
Relative to the death of
Mr. John Jenkins, the 'Wagga Wagga Advertiser' of Saturday last says : —
A feeling of universal
sorrow pervaded tho town yesterday morning when it became known that Mr. John
Jenkins, son of Mr. Frank Jenkins, of Buckinbong, had died at the residence of
his father-in-law, Dr. Large. Mr. Jenkins has boon very unwell for some
time past, suffering from low fever, but it was thought he was getting over the
attack.
Very imprudently, it
seems, he visited the Racecourse on Wednesday, whore it is supposed that he took
fresh cold; at all events he became alarmingly ill afterwards, and shortly expired.
Not the least melancholy circumstance
connected with this sad occurrence is the fact that Mr. Jenkins had been
married only about five months Very genuine indeed the sympathy felt for Mrs.
Jenkins, who in less than half a year has experienced the joys of the bride and
the bitter grief of the widow.
The deceased was well known and exceedingly popular
in Wagga Wagga and throughput the neighbourhood; his family being the oldest residents
on the river.
The funeral took place on
Saturday afternoon, and was attended by over 500 persons, by whom the deceased was
more or less known and respected. — Ed. G.T.

Death of Mr J T Williamson
RESULT OF AN ACCIDENT.
General regret was
expressed in Wagga yesterday evening when it became known that Mr. John Thomas
Williamson, who for nearly 3D years has been a well-known resident, has died as
the result of an accident.
Mr. Williamson was driving home from a business
visit to the country on Thursday afternoon, and when turning the corner of
Baylis and Tompson streets the buggy came into collision with the alignment
post. Mr. Williamson was thrown out, and when he was convoyed to his home in
Peter Street, only a few yards distant, it was recognised that his injuries
were severe.
Nevertheless, at his urgent request, the services of a doctor were
not called into requisition until Friday morning, when Dr. Burgess attended the
patient. The doctor found that Mr. Williamson was suffering from concussion of
the brain.
The heat of Sunday operated seriously, with the result that Mr.
Williamson was very restless and delirious. Subsequently pneumonia set in,
followed by heart failure, which was the actual cause of death. Yesterday morning Dr.
Moncrieff was called in in consultation, but the case was then hopeless.
Death
ensued at about 5.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Mr. Williamson not having
recovered complete consciousness since Friday.
The medical opinion,
however, is that the end was a peaceful one, and was not accompanied by pain;
Mr. Williamson, at the time of his death, was 55 years of age.
Mr. Williamson was a native of Auckland, New
Zealand, his father, who was a well-known New Zealand public man, having been
superintendent of that province for many years under the old system of
provincial government.
He received his education at Nelsons College, an educational
establishment of high repute in New Zealand, and for a considerable time
after leaving school worked in his father's office.
When quite a young man he
determined to try his fortunes in the larger field presented
by this State, and arrived in New South Wales in 1876, About the latter end of
that year he was engaged by the late Mr. A. G. Jones, who was, then carrying on
extensive pastoral and stock transactions, as his private secretary, a position
which he filled for a long period, at this time also acting as a member of the
"Advertiser'' staff."
He afterwards went into the newspaper business
on his own account, establishing the "Wagga" Evening Star. This, however,
proved a rather unlucky venture, Mr. Williamson sinking in it all the capital
he could command.
Being possessed of great energy and courage, he did not allow
this severe blow to daunt him, but at once devoted himself to other pursuits,
for which his experience well adapted him. He conducted for some years a very
flourishing commission and machine agency business, and also did well as a
produce merchant.
Unfortunately for him he engaged in farming on the halves
principle on an extensive scale just as the series of bad seasons had set in,
and in this speculation lost very heavily.
During a number of years he occupied
a prominent position in connection with municipal life in Wagga, proving
himself one of the most active and capable members of the Borough Council. He
was during this period for a short term secretary of the M.T.C., and in many other
ways identified himself with the public and social life of the town.
In 1875
Mr. Williamson married Mrs. Jenkins, widow of the late Mr. John Jenkins, jun.
of Buckingbong Station, near Narandera, and daughter of the late Dr.
and Mrs. Large, former well known and much respected residents of
Wagga.
Mrs, Williamson survives him, and the family consists of five sons and
three daughters, most of whom are grown up, and occupy responsible positions in
the community.
The deceased was always respected as a man of the most acute
intelligence and great powers of observation. well fitted by his natural gifts
to come to the front in the intellectual and political life of any community.
For his bereaved widow and
family the keenest sympathy is felt, Mrs. Williamson having always had the
esteem and respect of the whole community.
The funeral has been
arranged to leave the deceased gentleman's residence in Peter-street, this
afternoon, at 3.30 o'clock, for the Wagga Cemetery.
The members of St. John's
Young Mon's Club are invited to attend the funeral of Mr. J. T. Williamson, who
was a vice-president of the club

DEATH of W.H.GLOVER
The " Gundagai Times " has this to say of
the death of Mr. W. H Glover,
A brother in law of Mrs M. Leathem, a very
sudden death occurred at Wilga Station, near Whitton, on Saturday, 6th
February.
Mr W. H Glover, an old employee of the station, and a resident off
the district for nearly thirty years, while making his usual week end trip to
Whitton, where his wife and daughter resided, quietly and peacefully 'crossed
the bar.'
It appears that Mr Glover was riding a bike, and was
pushing it over a sand hill close to the homestead, when he fell dead without a
move, and the machine laid across him.
The cause of death was heart failure,
accelerated by the great heat Mr. T G. LARGE, who was one time part
proprietor of ' the Southern cross" Junee, was a brother in-law, and his
widow is a daughter of the late Dr. Large, of Tumut and Wagga. The deceased was a most kindly man,
and highly respected, and about 62 years of age.
