Personal Notes:
The Tumut Advocate 12 Sep 1905
MR. WILLIAM FORRESTER. On Sunday last, at 1.30. p.m., there passed away from earth and all he held most dear, Mr. William Forrester, at the age of 32 years, a young man, well respected by all who knew him as he bore a most unimpeachable character. The cause of death being galloping consumption. For the last six months he had resided with his brother-in-law (Mr. George Harris), and Dr. Mason, in constant attendance, did his level best to avert the fatal stroke, but the insidious complaint was so deep seated that his lungs (all but one flap) were completely gone, and the Reaper claimed his own, with but a faint resistance from the poor sufferer. He died peacefully. Deceased was a native of Kiandra and followed the pursuit of a miner, a calling he y was an adept at. About 10 years since he went to Western Australia to engage in mining, and did fairly well for about 12 months. Thence he came back to Tumut. His sister, Janet Forrester, died from consumption about 9 years ago. Mr. Forrester then was engaged in Messrs Reeckman and Frostrum's copper claim at Lobb's Hole. He worked there for a considerable time, then went for a trip to New Zealand, and worked in some big reefs there. He returned about 12 months ago and worked again in the Lobb's Hole mine, and during that period secured a good show in the copper line himself, but fate forbade him testing what promised a real good spec. His mother predeceased him about three months ago. He leaves behind him four sisters, viz: Mrs. John Patrick (Kiandra), Mrs. J. Eastwood (Sydney), Mrs. H. McDonald (Grafton), and Mrs. G. Harris (Tumut). Three sisters predeceased him. The funeral takes place to-day, at 2.30 p.m., the remains being interred in the old cemetery. Mr. W. Himsworth is the undertaker, and Mr. Percy Bramble (C.E. Curate) officiates at the grave. We tender the bereaved ones our deepest sympathy.
