UPDATE - ADAMINABY , OLD ADAMINABY AND DALGETY CEMETERY RECORDS
David,
Thanks for your interest in the project.
There has been progress on some fronts that will be of interest to monaro
readers.
The most exciting discovery if the low cost GIS mapping now available to
describe and document historic cemeteries. This is done by Vision Communicators
P/L from Dubbo using cameras mounted on low altitude drones. The
cameras can pinpoint and locate with GIS Coordinates objects (plots or
gravestones )on the ground, and these can be referenced with council records of
headstones and historical burial sites.
Such maps have been produced for a number of historic cemeteries in the Bega
Shire, and the Snowy River Shire is considering coverage of their historic
cemeteries.
The mapping contact is Ian Harvey. I am happy to work with Ian to
describe how my group will work with Ian to produce maps and a user interface or
dashboard make the information accessible to your readers.
Thanks

Dear Ian
I am so very grateful for your assistance. I have attached a very old and
not so clear photo taken in Foxlow Street Captains Flat back in the 1940's.
The small boy in the back ground is my husband known then as Michael John
Thompson DOB 3 July 1946 - his only childhood photo) The women is his mother Amy
Dunn (nee Hure) known as Thompson. One of the girls is Maureen (deceased) who
was Amy's daughter from her first husband Colin Dunn in Maitland but we
wonder if the other girls could possibly be John James Thompson's daughter Norma
whose Mum had passed away in 1942. Maureen remembered other children
living in the house but not their names. Amy and John James met when he
was in the Army in WWII and at Maitland near Heddon Greta and after the war they
moved to Captains Flat. Amy was pregnant with her fourth child in
the early 1950's when she left John James Thompson and Captains Flat going to
Sydney and adopting that child out before then going home to family in Maitland
taking with her Maureen, my husband and his younger sister Judith DOB 1948.
Sadly Amy passed away only a year or so later - Maureen went to her father Colin
Dunn and my husband and his sister younger sister Judith were placed in separate
orphanages - Michael and Judith have been reunited many years then later with
the sister Robyn who was adopted out. Now three children are now seeking
any information on their father and his relatives especially now they may have a
half brother and sister with history to tell or perhaps a photo. Your help
is wonderful again Ian thank you and all those who have taken the time to assist
with information.

Hi Ian,
Here’s the copy of birth certificate of William James Johnson.
Notice the father, John Johnson’s age. So it would seem he was born about 1844
(not 1830) in Rotterdam, Holland. He was not born in English Channel, and even
his headstone has incorrect age!
Additionally his parents would not be Thomas & Elisabeth Johnson.
I just ordered and received (today!) the marriage cert of John Johnson and
Margaret Snare in the hope it would shed some light, but no, there’s a glaring
omission of details including age and parents. I’ve also attached it, along with
marriage cert of William Johnson to Dora Levis.
I’m trying to track down some our Johnson relatives, who I didn’t even know I
had until a few weeks ago when I got the birth cert of William James Johnson!
If you have any contacts or ideas, I’d really appreciate it.

Proposed Change: Gowen, Albert Leonard (I62435)
Tree: Eden Monaro Pioneers
Link: http://monaropioneers.com/TNG/getperson.php?personID=I62435&tree=MP
Description: From The Braidwood Review & District Advocate, 25 September 1923:
THE TORNADO. GREAT DESTRUCTION IN THE DISTRICT. Our report last
issue of the great windstorm on Thursday was necessarily incomplete. Later
details show that from one end of the district to the other a great deal of
damage was done. The accident to the three young boys in Braidwood by the
collapse of the front parapet wall and the verandah in front of the business
places of Messrs E G Morris and O Hunt in Braidwood was unfortunately attended
by fatal results. The boy Albert Gowen, aged eight, who was admitted to
the Hospital, died at half past 6 o'clock. His right leg was fractured and
he was suffering from internal injuries, from which he died. Indeed, it is
marvellous that he was not killed instantaneously. There must have been
over a ton of fallen bricks and cement on top of him. One block alone
weighed over half a ton. That he was not smashed to a pulp is due to the
fact that one of the rafters from the verandah dug into the footpath, and this
supported the weight of the block to a great extent.
When extricated he appeared cheerful enough. Young Lupton was caught by
the debris, but he was in such a position that the full weight of it escaped
him. He was only cut about the face, and suffered more from shock than
anything else. Young Hunt, who was forced through the window of his
father's shop, escaped with a few scratches. He was standing near the
window, and when the parapet fell on to the verandah this was forced outwards to
the street, so that very little of either the brick work of the parapet or the
verandah fell close to him. Two other boys of Mr Hunt's were also near the
door, but their father caught them up from the door and dragged them inside.
A couple of other boys were under the verandah playing marbles with young Gowen,
but they were close to the kerb line, and when they heard the noise they ran for
their lives out on the street and managed to get away just in time to escape the
falling mass of bricks, cement and woodwork. Fortunately the verandah
posts were only slotted into the cement bases, and as the parapet fell in it
pushed the verandah outwards from the wall. Had it not been for this fact
the parapet would have fallen flat on to the roof of the verandah, in which case
all the boys under it would probably have been crushed to death. The
deceased boy, it appears, was in the act of firing his marble at the ring when
the calamity occurred. It appears that this was a favorite rendezvous for
lads playing marbles. Prior to the fire bell ringing there were 12 or 15
boys engaged in the game under the verandah. The others left to join those
running in search of the fire, and did not return. The news of the
accident cast a gloom over the town. Little Albert Gowen was a loveable
little fellow, and a favorite with everybody who knew him, and was extremely
popular amongst his school companions. When it was learned that the boy
had succumbed to the injuries he received a wave of sympathy went out to his
bereaved parents and family. His father, Mr H Gowen, was at Canberra,
where he was employed on the construction works there. The telegraph and
telephone lines were disorganised as the result of the storm, and it was
impossible to get the news of the fatality to him. A car was despatched
from Braidwood for him on Friday morning. When he became aware of what had
happened he was of necessity deeply shocked. The funeral took place on
Saturday afternoon, his remains being interred in the Presbyterian cemetery.
A feature of the cortege was the presence of a large number of the pupils of the
public school, who marched at the head of the procession under Headmaster Frank.
Many of them carried wreaths, while one from the school occupied a prominent
place on the little coffin. There were many damp eyes as the earth closed
over the remains of the unfortunate little chap. The Rev T H O'Dea
officiated at the graveside. A magisterial inquiry into the accident was
held by Mr Howard, JP, in the absence of the Coroner, on Friday, when a verdict
of accidental death was returned. Young Lupton still remains in the
Hospital, but he is practically all right again. Young Hunt left the
institution on Friday.

Description: From the Braidwood Dispatch & Mining Journal, 26 August 1927:
SHOOTING FATALITY. Late yesterday afternoon Mr George Gowen, son of Mr H
Gowen, of Jellamatong, was killed through the explosion of a gun which he was
handling. The deceased works at Canberra. He was here on holidays.
It appears that yesterday morning the deceased sent his brother to Braidwood for
a box of 480 calibre shot gun cartridges.
After lunch he and his brother went out shooting on Jellamatong. They
remained away for about an hour and a half, arriving home at about 2.30 pm.
The deceased went into the bedroom, carrying the gun with him.
According to his brother's statement he was taking a cartridge out of the gun,
remarking that it was jammed. He then went to get a book to read.
Shortly afterwards his brother heard a shot in the bedroom. He called out,
"What are you shooting there for?" Receiving no answer, he went to
investigate, and found his brother lying on the bed with the gun at his feet.
It is not known how the accident occurred. The police are engaged making
inquiries. The inquest has been fixed for next Monday morning. The
deceased only arrived home rom Canberra on Wednesday morning.

WILLIS/WILSON
From: Peter Willis
Sent: 27 January, 2016 4:58 PM
Subject: HENRY WILLIS MP58060 & Update on Catherine Wilson (MP13022)
Hi Ian
On the 3rd December 2015 I received an email from a fellow Monaro Pioneer
researcher, Judith, that provided the necessary linking for the validation as to
the parentage of Henry Willis (MP58060). Many thanks for that information.
Family folklore understood Henry was orphaned at an early age. When Henry
married Mary Ann in 1872, he recorded his mother as Emma Catherine Spong
(mispelt as Spon) and that he was born in Melbourne. Although his age was not
recorded, permission from the Legal Guardian was required being that both Mary &
Henry were under the age of 21.
It occurred that Emma declared that she was a widow and on 26th November 1861,
married Charles Buckland. At St Peters Parish Church, St Peters NSW
However Emma passed away on 28th September 1962. On her death certificate
(2105/1862) the age of Henry was listed as 10 years old although Henry Willis
was born in Melbourne on 29th January 1851. This explains why Henry also
required consent to Marry from the Guardian as his correct age would have been
11yo.
Henry’s parents saw the marriage of William Willis & Emma Catherine Spong at
Merton, Surrey, England on the 31st March 1839.
The couple came to Australia, reaching Port Melbourne on the THETIS in 1842.
They were accompanied by their first born daughter EMMA.
A note for family members: It also confirms that there is an error on the
official death records for Henry in relation to his father’s name & as to his
correct age. Also the age on the headstone is incorrect by six years – something
future family researchers will need to remember.
On a second matter Mary Ann Lindsay (MP58061):
Despite extensive research including calling up certificates from BDM-NSW on
family members I have been unable to validate any ancestral information on her
family with the exception of the burial date of her mother
The burial Certificate for he mother Catherine Wilson (MP13022) states:
Catherine Lindsay (Born Wilson) of Sydney 35 years Old was buried on 3rd May
1852.
(When
Died not stated)
The ceremony was performed at the Parish of St Andrews Scots Church by the Rev.
J. McGarvie, Presbyterian Church.
I have located a Sydney newspaper article of the 7th August 1952 concerning a
William Lindsay before the Sydney police court who has six children. The
children are in the care of the Grandparents. However the lack of further family
detail in the article such as names or ages has prevented follow up
investigation. But as the children were institutionalised four months later it
is possible there is an association with the family.
Thank you, Peter Willis
Thank you,

Description: Hi Ian,
I thought it may be better to give you a bulk update, rather than one at a time.
Michael Vaughan (336581) is the brother of Honora (202778) & Mary Ann (140142).
There were also 2 brothers, James (who may have died at Goulburn in 1874 but I’m
still looking into that) and Edward, who died 13 Nov 1892 on the Ellison
property at Braidwood. They came to Australia in 1853 with their parents,
Patrick & Mary Ann (Annie). I am currently awaiting their mother’s death
certificate to get some clarification as to what her maiden name was and, in
particular, the ages of the children because there are discrepancies between the
Immigration records and their recorded ages at death.
Patrick was a Constable at Eighteen-mile Hollow from at least 1857 and was the
lock-up keeper there when Mary Ann died in 1863. He was dismissed as a Constable
in 1864 but I have been having trouble tracking his movements since then, though
he appears to have died before 1901.
Edward and Michael, possibly James as well, were boot makers. Edward had stomach
cancer and drowned in a muddy puddle while visiting his sister and
brother-in-law. It was assumed that he had either fainted or tripped and was too
weak to save himself.
Michael was an Alderman for Moruya Council and served a term as Mayor. He
married Mary Anne Ryan on 13 Apr 1880 at St Patrick’s Church, Bega. I don’t
believe that his middle name was Edward. It only appears on 2 BDM registrations
for deaths of his children and was probably assumed by others because of his
eldest son’s name. On their marriage certificate Mary Ann’s father’s name is
stated as William (no mother’s name) but on her death registration it is shown
as Thomas.
Michael died at Walker's Convalescent Home, Sydney on 27 Apr 1906 after several
unsuccessful operations for a throat affliction. He was buried the following day
at Rookwood in the Catholic Cemetery - Section: Grave Mortuary 2, Area: Q,
Grave: 688.
Mary Anne Ryan was born c1860 in Clonmel, Tipperary, Ireland and died at 11 Shaw
Avenue, Kingsford on 19 Nov 1948. She was buried the following day at Botany
Cemetery.
Their daughter, Annie (377025), was born on 16 Oct 1883 and died 22 Jun 1975 in
Sydney (NSW BDM Index 15292/1975). She was married on 29 Sep 1915 at Sacred
Heart Church, Kensington, New South Wales (NSW BDM Index 9364/1915) to Frederick
John Canute (birth registered as Frederick Ernest Canute); born
17 May 1877 in Melbourne, Victoria (Vic BDM Index 10215/1877); died 6 Feb
1960 in Sydney (NSW BDM Index 6026/1960). They are both buried at Rookwood,
Catholic Cemetery, Section: Mortuary 2, Area : 12 Grave : 2140.
Eileen (377026) was born 8 Apr 1886 and died 11 Aug 1973 at Bankstown. Did not
marry.
Edmond James (377027) was born 30 Dec 1887 and died 9 Feb 1975 in Sydney.
Did not marry. Occupation: salesman
James Patrick (Jimmy) (377028) – born 11 Sep 1889, died 26 Nov 1954 at Tresside
Avenue, Kingsford. Buried at Botany, Catholic Cemetery, RCAA - Roman Catholic FM
AA – 1155. Did not marry. Occupation: Pastrycook
Madeline Margaret (377029) – born 2 Oct 1891, died 12 Oct 1948 at Prince Henry
Hospital. Buried Botany Cemetery, RCBD - Roman Catholic FM BD – 818.
Did not marry. Occupation: teacher.
Gerald (377030) – born 28 Jul 1893, died 5 May 1973 at Newtown. Did not marry.

I have amended the death record for Sarah Jane Moore. I am not able to find a

Golden Wedding.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kellond celebrated their "Golden Wedding" last Monday, the
17th September. The celebration ceremony will be held at Christmas time when the
family will be gathered together, it being found impossible for them to leave
their work in other parts to come along at the present time.
Mr. and Mrs. Kellond were married at Bombala on the 17th September, 1884, by the
Rev. William Gardner, at the Presbyterian Manse. Their own Minister was away at
the time and he arranged with Mr. Gardner to take the ceremony. Mrs. Kellond was
then Miss Emily Elton, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs Charles Elton.
There were four bridesmaid : Miss Stevenson (now Mrs. C. T. Cotterill), Miss
Ingram (late Mrs. Alf. Epplestun), Miss Rachael Ingram (now Mrs. Charles
Cootes), and Miss Sophie Elton (sister of the bride, and now Mrs. W. Douch). The
best man was Mr. Henry Elton, brother of the bride.
Their family consists of five sons and four daughters. The sons are: William,
Arthur, Charles, Cecil, Adrian. The daughter : Mrs. Robert Atkins, Mrs. Arthur
Toms, Mrs. W. Cowell, and Mrs. T. Ryan. They have 20 grand-children, and 4 great
grand-children.
Mr. and Mrs. Kellond are both natives of Bombala, and have lived here all their
lives. Mr. Kellond was born 75 years ago, and Mrs. Kellond 69.
Mr. Kellond claims that he is the oldest resident native of Bombala, and we
don't know of anyone to dispute the title with him. He has some interesting
reminiscences of the olden days on Monaro, and tells of the time when as a
blacksmith's apprentice to the late Mr. Hart (Mr. M. Hart's father) he shod the
horses of the notorious bushrangers, Ned and Dan Kelly. This was in the
seventies, when he was between 19 and 21 years of age. The Kellys were drovers
and came through here droving cattle.
One of them, Dan, had a very nice pony which he entered in the Bombala Show.
This was shortly before they took to the bush.

Pte. Jack Elton, in a letter to his mother, written from Birmingham, England, on
the 14th November, 1917, says he had a bit of a trying time in France, but after
six weeks rest in hospital was well on the mend again. He was in an American
hospital in France for a month, where he had first-class treatment, and after he
could get about was sent to England. "This is my first time away from shell fire
for twelve months.
I had a bit of a shaking up in the battle of Messines. I suppose you saw the
account of our victory in the paper. I only lasted four and a half days at the
battle of Ypres before I got blown up by a heavy shell. I was buried for a bit
but was very lucky to escape without a hit and only a few bruises. You cant
imagine the sight of a battle-field - it is beyond describing. Hundreds of dead
and dying lie everywhere- it is awful to look at, but one gets so excited in the
charge he does not notice it. I was quite in my glory when we went for the
Germans on the 4th October, especially when I saw them on the run. They wont
face our bayonets too well. I was in charge of a Lewis gun, which fires about
800 shots a minute, and when they started to run away from us I took up a good
position and opened fire on them. I fired eight magazines and I must say I
accounted for a good many. What were not shot were taken prisoners. Of course
there were several Lewis guns there besides the one I had. They are known as the
most useful weapon in this war."

WELCOME HOME TO PRIVATE ARTHUR ELTON.
(CONTRIBUTED.)
On Wednesday night a welcome home was tendered to Private Arthur Elton, at
Burnima, by the staff of the station (of which the guest was a member before
enlisting), and by a number of his relatives and friends.
The evening was opened with the singing of the National Anthem, and was then
followed with dancing, interspersed with songs and recitations.
Mr. Sautelle, on behalf of the company, extended a welcome to the soldier, and
presented him with a wallet of notes and a signet ring bearing his battalion
colours.
A midnight the company, numbering about 65, sat down to an excellent supper
provided by the ladies, the tables being very tastefully decorated in yellow and
black, being Pte. Elton's battalion colours.
Those assisting in the evening's entertainment with music, songs and recitations
were Misses Stanmere and R. O'Brien, and Messrs. Sautelle, Shaw, A. Elton, D.
Wilson, Stokes, Beileiter, and F. Smith.
With Mr. J. Gleeson as M.C. every one had a right royal time, and it was well
into the early hours of the morning before the gathering dispersed.

The Discharged Soldier's Appeal.
The following verses were sent home by Private Arthur Elton, and are reprinted
from the "Hackney Spectator." Copies were sold at 2d each, and the profits went
to the National Federation of Discharged and Demobilised Sailors and Soldiers.
I did hear my country calling,
In her hour of darkest strife,
And was ready then to help her,
Ready aye to give my life.
Caring not for Home and Pleasure,
Parents, Wife, or Children small,
Thinking how I best could serve her.
Answering only Duty's call.
I have served my country faithfully,
And have given of my best.
In this war for Right and Freedom
Facing Death and worse with jest.
I have seen my comrades falling,
'Midst the storm of shot and shell,
And have laughed and sang while standing At the very Gates of Hell.
On the cliffs of Gallipoli,
Or the stricken fields of France,
'Neath the scorching suns of Asia,
Taking every risk and chance,
Risking limbs and life, whilst "Slackers"
'Neath their precious War Badge hide,
Why should they not take their chance
In the roll of battle's tide ?
Yet in spite of sacrifices,
I am told that once again,
Both my King and Country need me,
Shall I let them call in vain ?
No ! I'm ready and I'm willing.
Now the danger's at its worst,
But in justice I demand that
All the "Slackers" shall go first.

OUR BOYS AT THE FRONT.
The following letter has been received by Mrs. H. Elton, from her son, Prte.
One doesn't know where a shell is going to hit; they have been sending some very
large bombs at us lately, but I think our howitzers have silenced them.
I hope so at any rate. I would like to be able to send some souvenirs home to
you, but I can't at present. If I am spared I will try and bring some home with
me. The Tars off the battleships are about here every now and again collecting
bits of rifles and shrapnel shell and caps. I suppose they can send them home
easy enough. I saw Charlie Tracey yesterday (he is a Corporal now) and Arthur
Davis. They both wish to be remembered to you all.
Arthur is attached to a machine gun section in the 1st Battalion. I have not
heard how Douglas Whiteley is getting along. He was wounded some time ago, but
not seriously. I suppose he is in Alexandria. I am sending you a cutting from a
Melbourne paper which you may not have seen. It is written by one of my
commanders, Lieutenant Cowey, under whom I was fighting from the time Captain
Leer who was shot early in the day (Sunday) until he (Mr. Cowey) was wounded on
the Tuesday evening. I can answer for every word he has written there, and can
assure you it is not the least exaggerated. I and five of my mates ("pioneers")
were with him all the time. I am a good shot myself, as you know, but he was
deadly. If a bush moved, crack, and a Turk would roll from behind it. I was
using two rifles, my own and a New Zealander's, which I could use with more
effect as the sights were different, but I had to load them myself, and lose no
time about it, as they were at us from all quarters. I have enjoyed myself
rabbit shooting, but I think I enjoyed myself more those two or three days.
Not one of us realised the danger; all we thought of was to get our pill in
first. We were all very sorry for Mr. Cowey when he got hit through the
arm, and missed him very much.
When he left us, I offered to help him down the hill, but he said, "No, you are
needed more here." I found out afterwards that he got to the beech safely. I
have not had a day's fun since. Well, dear mother, this is all the news this
time. Show this and the cutting to Mr. Tweedie.

SAD FATALITY.
On Thursday afternoon word came through from Craigie that Mrs. Ben. Elton had
been accidentally shot dead.
From particulars to hand it appears that at about 1 p.m. Mrs. Elton was sitting
in front of the fire combing her little girl's hair. Two lads named Clark, who
live next door, had borrowed Mr. Elton's gun to go rabbit shooting, and while
Mrs. Elton was engaged with her daughter they were in the same room cleaning the
gun.
What then happened is not very clear, but while Coulson Clark was handling the
gun it exploded and the charge of shot struck Mrs. Elton just under the left eye
and passed through the brain. Mr. W. Reed heard the report and ran to the house,
only to find that poor Mrs. Elton was beyond human aid. Death must have been
instantaneous.
The Coroner went out to-day to hold an inquiry.
Mrs. Elton was 26 years of age, and a daughter (Annie) of Mr. and Mrs. H.
Bedingfield of this town. She had one little daughter 3 years old.
The sympathy of all is extended to the widower and relatives in their great
sorrow.

Deaths
The death roll of our town and district has been heavy during the past few
weeks, and in every issue of the ' Times ' we have had to chronicle the passing
over of well-known residents, mostly two, and sometimes three in a week.
On Saturday last, after a long illness from an internal complaint, Mrs. Andrew
Elton died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. J. Ingram, in Cardwell St.,
Bombala, not far from the old home in which she had been born and lived her
early life as Miss Katie Beileiter. The interment took place in the C. of E.
cemetery on Monday afternoon, after a service in St. Matthias' Church, and its
conclusion at the graveside by the Rev. E. M. Cutcliffe. There was a large
congregation of relatives and friends at the church and at the cemetery, and the
hearse and coffin were covered with many floral tributes of sympathy and
affection.
Mrs. Elton was a native of Bombala, and was 71 years of age. She was married in
St. Matthias' Church by the Rev. J. C. Betts to Mr. Andrew Elton, and it was
fitting that her mortal remains should have had a resting place in the church in
which she was married, and in which she had spent so many happy hours of her
life and took a prominent part in the choir and services. A husband and family
of two sons and seven daughters mourn the death of a loving and devoted wife and
mother. The sons are Arthur (Goulburn) and William (Bombala) ; and the daughters
: Mrs. J. White (Ida), Bibbenluke ; Mrs. R. Helmers (Beatrice), Queanbeyan ;
Mrs. A. Elliott (Mabel), Bombala ; Mrs. J. Ingram (Myrtle), Bombala ; Mrs. S.
Payne (Marjorie), Casino; Mrs. H. Payne (Edith), Bombala ; and Mrs. Devereux
(Gwen) Kogarah. One daughter, Mrs. Stokes (Ethel), died a few years ago.
Messrs. George, John, William, and Donald Beileiter, of this town, are all
brothers.

The Bombala Times (NSW) Friday 6 March 1914 Page 2
PRESENTATION. TO MR. AND MRS. ELTON, SENIOR.
The School of Arts, on Friday night last, was filled with the descendants of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Elton, senior, who had assembled together to do honor to the
old people on the anniversary of their fifty-fifth wedding day, and to make them
a presentation of two fine easy chairs. One of these chairs was given by Mr. W.
T. Edwards, late manager of Maharatta Station, to Mr. Elton, in recognition of
his long years of faithful service on that estate; and the other chair was
presented to Mrs. Elton by her sons and daughters. At six o'clock the family sat
down to a nicely prepared tea in the supper room, and at 8.30 seats were taken
in the Hall, and the Mayor, Ald. Smith, presided.
The Mayor said he had been asked to do a duty that night which was more pleasing
to him than anything he had been asked to do in the whole course of his life,
that was to present two chairs to Mr. and Mrs. Elton. It gave him great pleasure
to do so, because he knew of no couple on Monaro who were more entitled to some
recognition at the hands of their past employers than Mr. and Mrs. Elton. This
chair sent along by Mr. W. T. Edwards showed that he thought a lot of the good
and faithful old servant he had left behind him when he went away from Bombala.
It was nice for Mrs. Elton to think she was to be presented with a chair from
her sons and daughters. Mrs. Elton was the first white woman born in Bombala,
and as a mother and a friend she was still one of the whitest women we had in
our midst. (Applause).
Mrs. Elton was born in Bombala in the year 1840. She was married at the age of
20. They had 10 sons, 5 daughters, 82 grand-children, and 19
great-grand-children, and the rest of the relations made a grand total of 140.
Thp Mayor then presented the chairs, and in doing so expressed the hope that Mr.
and Mrs. Elton would live long to enjoy their comfort, and the rest of their
days would be spent in peace and happiness. (Loud applause).
Three hearty cheers were then given for the old couple.
Mr. W. Beileiter returned thanks on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Elton. He thanked,
first of all, Mr. W. T. Edwards for his kind and thoughtful action in sending
this splendid present to Mr. Elton. It showed that Mr. Edwards knew when he had
a faithful servant, and believed, in honoring them and thinking of them even
when they had left his employ. He also thanked the sons and daughters for their
kindly action in presenting a similar chair to Mrs. Elton. They hoped their
father and mother would live long to enjoy the ease and comfort that these
chairs would give them. By this presentation they wished to remind their parents
that although separated from them they still had kindly thoughts for the old
couple and still loved them. Mr. and Mrs. Elton were very thankful to Mr. W. T.
Edwards and their sons and daughters for the presents and for the pleasant
evening they had given them, an evening they would probably never see again with
the whole of their descendants present with the exception of only nine or ten.
It was a great pleasure to this old-couple to see there that night such a
splendid lot of descendants.
If the Commonwealth ever wanted soldiers there could be a regiment of Eltons in
the field, and they would give a good account of themselves wherever they were.
He concluded by again thanking them for the presents and the pleasant evening.
(Applause).
A glass of wine and cake was partaken of, and at the call of Mr. C. Kellond, a
hearty vote of thanks was given to the Mayor and Mr. Beileiter for their
speeches.
This was the signal to clear the Hall, and the rest of the night was spent by
the young people in dancing merrily till "daylight did appear."

Death.
MR. CHARLES ELTON.
On Saturday last, at the age of 88, Mr. Charles Elton, sen., passed away at his
home at Rosemeath, death being due to heart failure. Being one of the oldest
residents of the district, he had a large circle of friends and relatives, and
there was a big muster as the graveside on Sunday afternoon, when, in the
absence of the Rev. S. Broadfoot, Mr. E. G. Coulter read the burial service.
Mr. Elton was born at Cooma Creek, Cooma, and came to Bombala with his parents
when a child. At that time there was no township, and the locality was known as
Bombala Station. When 19 years of age he married Miss Ingram, who was a few
months his senior. They lived in the Bombala district from then on to the
present day, rearing a family of ten sons and five daughters, and whose
descendants now number close on to 200, up to the fourth generation. Mrs. Elton
is still living in the little home at Rosemeath, and despite her great age still
enjoys fairly good health.
The members of the family are :- Sons -Harry and William dead. Andrew, Joseph,
Jack, Thomas, Abraham, and James (all of Bombala), Bert (Sydney), and Percy
(Qld.); Daughters ? Mrs. T. White, Mrs. C. Kellond, Mrs. W. Brownlie (Bombala),
Mrs. W. Douch (Sydney), and Mrs. B. Atkins (Cooma).
In his younger days Mr. Elton was able to turn his hand to many things, and when
16 years of age could shear, his 60 sheep a day. Later on he drove a bullock
team from Bombala to Sydney, taking three months to do the trip. He was
afterwards employed on the Maharatta Estate, where he remained for over fifty
years.

Hi Trish,
How did you discover this discrepancy? Do you have any documentation that
explains your new conclusions?
Regards, Ian
Hi Ian
Yes I have a copy of the marriage certificate for Patrick Langan and Anne White,
checking further I found that her fathers name was Thomas White and her mother
was Jane, I found that on NSWBDM. I then went to Queanbeyan Riverside cemetery
records and her mothers maiden name was Cavanagh, so I’m fairly confident that
it’s correct. I’m still trying to find out what happened to Ann Cavanagh,
daughter of Thomas and Jane Susan. I’m also having doubts about the info on
Hannah Cavanagh and her marriage to Patrick Flannagan ??

Description: Obituary
MRS. E. ROLFE, SENR.
We deeply regret having to record the death of Mrs. E. Rolfe, senr., who passed
peacefully away last Friday morning, 5th inst., at the Parramatta District
Hospital. Deceased had been in indifferent health for the past year or so, and
notwithstanding every medical care, and her own robust constitution, it became
evident during the last few weeks of her illness that there was little or no
hope of her recovery.
While an inmate of the Parramatta Hospital she was frequently visited by her
husband and children. Right Rev. Monsignor O'Reilly, P.P., V.F. (Parramatta),
and Rev. Father Briody (Granville) were also constantly in attendance, and
administered the last rites of the Church.
The late Mrs. Rolfe was the eldest daughter of an old Queanbeyan family and was
born in 1841, her mother being Mrs. Margaret O'Keeffe.
Although deceased was 77 years of age at the time of her death, she would have
easily passed for more than ten years younger, owing to her cheerful personality
and her wonderful spirit and activity. She was widely known and universally
respected in the Queanbeyan district, and her death removes from our midst still
another of the great-hearted mothers of the Australian bush whom we can so ill
afford to lose.
Until quite recently Mrs. Rolfe resided with her husband and family at Gold
Creek, Gininderra, where her hospitality was proverbial, and her kindliness of
heart such as to win the love and esteem of all who knew her. When the Federal
authorities resumed the Gold Creek estate two years ago, she and her husband
removed to their new home at Sherwood Grange, near Sydney. The coffin was
brought to St. Gregory's Church, Queanbeyan, on Saturday morning, and a Requiem
Mass was celebrated by Father Haydon for the repose of deceased's soul. The
funeral, which was largely attended by relatives and personal friends
representing the whole town and district, left the church at 2 p.m., the
interment taking place in the Catholic portion of the Queanbeyan cemetery. The
Rev. Father Haydon read the burial prayers. Many beautiful wreaths were laid on
the grave. Mr. C. J. O'Rourke had charge of the funeral arrangements. The late
Mrs. Rolfe is survived by her husband and the following nine children: Sister
Mary Pierre (Good Samaritan Order), Mrs. J. V. Hibberson (Glenwood), Mrs.
Flanagan (Sydney), Mrs. Conrie (Sydney), and. Messrs. Anthony, William, James,
Patrick and Edward Rolfe. '97 R.I.P.

News reached Queanbeyan this morning that Mr. Edmund Rolfe, formerly of Gold
Creek, Gininderra, passed away at Merrylands, near Sydney, last night. The
deceased, one of the best-known old time residents of this district, had been
ailing from nearly the time of the decease of his wife, which occurred in the
Parramatta hospital early in July last; so that her husband survived her just
about three months.
The remains of Mr. Rolfe will be entrained for Queanbeyan per mail train
tonight, and on arrival here tomorrow morning will be taken to St.
Gregory's Church, whence the funeral will proceed to the old Roman Catholic
cemetery at 3 p.m.
The deceased was brother to Mr. George Rolfe, for some years an innkeeper in
Queanbeyan, but now, and for a long time past, following the same occupation in
Cooma. The Rolfes are the children of one of Queanbeyan's earliest pioneers, and
no one in the early days of settlement in this district was better known or more
worthily respected than old Anthony Rolfe of Gininderra. And by marriage the
links in the chain of pioneer families were strengthened. Mrs. Edmund Rolfe, who
as already said, predeceased her husband in July last, was a daughter of Mrs.
Margaret O'Keeffe, the widow of another pioneer settler. She (the

was spent in this district. He was one of our most successful graziers and
farmers, and was like many others, driven from his home by the resumption policy
of the Federal Capital Territory authorities, Gold Creek being within that
territory. However, like his excellent wife before him, in the soil of their
native district, as is befitting, their mortal remains will repose till the
sound of the Great Archangel's trump shall call them to the resurrection unto
life immortal. Nine children survive their departed parents, viz., Sister Mary
Pierie (Good Samaritan Order); Mrs. J. V. Hibberson, Glenwood, Gininderra; Mrs.
Flanagan, Sydney; Mrs. Conrie, Sydney, (daughters); and Messrs. Anthony,
William, James, Patrick, and Edward Rolfe (sons).

Subject: Thomas William Warburton's daughter Mahalath (Warburton) Evans
Dear Ian,
I am doing some research and would like to find out if anyone knows anything
about one of our past relatives. Mahalath (Warburton) Evans
Thomas William Warburton was
born August 10, 1847 in Bombala, NSW and died in Crankies Plains Dec 12 1922. He
married Mahala
(Matilda) Smith and they had 12 children one of whom was Mahalath
(Born May 27, 1856 in Bombala)
She fell pregnant at 24 and married John
Michael Sydney Evans — married 1880 in Bombala, John being only 18.
Their first child was born the same year;
John William Richard Evans (1880), Louisa
Annie Evans (1883) and
George Thomas Evans (1885). Tragically her
husband John Evans died at only 36 (born 1850, died 1886) the year after her 3rd
child George was born. Then 7 years later in 1893, all 3 children died and
another 7 years later Mahalath also died at only 43.
I have searched as much as I know how and cannot find anything of this family or
the deaths of the 3 children at one time. Can anyone shed any light for me?
Their graves seem to have a current plaque, all shown together as an after
thought, so I am not sure how they were even buried?
Would love some help,
Thank you, Linda Taylor-Burton
