The Tumut and Adelong Times 8 Mar 1932
OBITUARY MR JOHN RICHARDS The late Mr. John Richards, whose death, at his residence, Windowie we have already very briefly referred to, was born in the year 1834 in Derbyshire, Wales. In 1858 he and his wife sailed from Birkenhead on the ship Mary Pleasant (400 tons) to seek their fortunes in Australia. Many a time, during the voyage of 111 days, did they wish they had never left the homestead and during the rough weather that they struck at times the fear arose amongst the emigrants that the ship would never complete the voyage; but, happily, they landed safely. The young couple were engaged by the late R.K Broughton to come to Gadara. At that time the train only ran as far as Campbelltown, and the rest of the journey was per coach to Gundagai. At the present time, with motors and good roads, the journey is long enough What must it have been in 1858 for people that had never been in the bush before to travel on roads that were only tracks? Truly the present generation has no idea what hardships had to be put up with. After travelling for some days and nights, they landed at Gundagai, where they were met by Mr. Broughton, who brought them on to Gadara. After staying there a little over a year, they then engaged with Mr. Vyner and stopped about the same time with them. Mr. Richards rented a farm at Tumut Plains till 1866, when he took up land at Windowie, where he resided for the rest of his days. His wife predeceased him about 18 years. He was a fine stamp of pioneer, and won the respect of all he came in contact with, and could count amongst his friends those that he had known from the time he came into the district. He and his good wife were noted for their noble deeds and hospitality, and Australia lies under a deep debt to John Richards and his like for their sterling characters and clear conceptions of right and wrong that guided their actions in everyday-life. He was of a very mild disposition and was beloved by all who knew him; even those not related spoke affectionately of him as "grandfather." About six months ago he contracted influenza and since then had been gradually failing, although not confined to his bed, and was always most cheerful and uncomplaining. Dr. Clouston was often in attendance and did all he could to ease him, and his two daughters (Mrs. Warburton and Mrs E. Robson) with Mrs C. Richards, did all that love and affection could do. He passed peacefully away in his sleep. Six children survive him, viz: Charles, Mrs Warburton, Mrs Robson (Windowie), Alfred, Mrs. Farthing and Mrs P. Webber (Sydney). One daughter (Mrs Ward) predeceased him. There are 28 grandchildren and 33 great grandchildren to mourn their loss. The funeral arrangements were carried out bv Mr. H. W. Baker, and the pall-bearers were Charles (son), S. Farthing, P. Webber and E. Robson (son-in-law), C. Webber (grandson) and A. J. Davis (grand son-in-law). Rev. F. W. Rettie, Rector of All Saints, Tumut, conducted the service and spoke feelingly of the many good qualities of the departed. The remains were laid to rest in the Old Cemetery alongside those of his late wife. |
