Excerpt From:
The Tumut Advocate and Farmers and Settlers' Adviser (NSW : 1903 - 1925) Tue 12 Apr 1904
Death of Mr. Alexander Piper
Friend after friend departs.Who hath not lost a friend? There is no union here of hearts That knows not here an end. These words come folly home to us when we chronicle, with deep regret, the death of Mr. Alexander Piper, sr,. which took place at his son's (Mr. W.Jas. Piper) residence, Gilmore, on Friday last, at 11 a.m.The deceased,who was one of the pioneers of the district, was born in County Down, Ireland, in 1827, and came to Australia in 1839. with his father and mother (the late Mr. and Mrs. Wm.Piper, sr.), and brothers (Mr. Thos.Piper, sr., Mr. W. J. Piper of Bombowlee Creek, and the late Mr. Samuel Piper, recently deceased), and sister (Emma, now Mrs. Geo. Morton). He was in town about 10 days prior to his demise, chatting freely with some of his old friends, who will deeply regret his unexpected decease. The cause of death is attributed to obstruction of the bowels, accelerated, by heart disease. His death was a peaceful one, and occurred in his son's arms. He leaves behind him five daughters, viz : Mrs. James Webb (Bombowlee), Mrs. H. French (Coolac), Mrs. T. Beck (Gilmore), Mrs. Alfred Richards (Windowie), and Mrs. Geo. Kebblewhite, together with three, sons, viz: Mr. Wm. Piper (Gilmore), and Messrs. Angus and Roley Piper, of Bombowlee. Two sons and two daughters predeceased him.
