Death of Mr . C. Potter AN OLD MANARO IDENTITY. Mr. Charles Potter, of Jones Plain., whose death occurred suddenly on Saturday afternoon, 18 October was the youngest son of Mr Wm Potter of 32 Drummond St., Euston Square London, and here Mr Potter was born on 9th October 1830. He and his two brothers , John and William , when old enough serv- ed the full term of seven years at their Father's trade, that of stonemason and plasterer, and all became proficient. When a young man Charles followed his brother John out to Melbourne where work was plentiful, and when treble the present value of the same work now could be ob- tained. Shortly after his arrival which was about 1850, the rich gold find at Ballarat occurred and he went thither and for some time afterwards neglected his trade in his search for gold in its native state. From Ballar- rat he hurried to Castlemaine and thence to Bendigo as those fields broke out and later when the rush to Rockhampton event- uated Mr. Potter was one of about three hundred who went to Melbourne and made the voy- age thither; but being disgusted with the roughness of his fellow passengers on the way, imme- diately returned, without doing a day's mining. On reaching Melbourne again he made his way to Bendigo, but not being very lucky as a digger he came across to Deniliquin in New South- Wales, and with Mr. J.J. Mawson and the late Mr. D. Scarlett there jointly contracted for numerous buildings. When Kiandra goldfield broke out in 1860, the gold fever again caused the trio to seek their fortune there, and after working several claims on Jack son's Flat and sinking most of the money they had formerly made at building, they left to- gether for Bungendore, where one of the three had a debtor from whom he expected to re- cover £36. On the way they passed through Cooma, when the Royal Hotel was being built, and they tendered for and got the work of plastering it. Being pleased with the Manaro climate all stayed in Cooma and together erected some of the most substantial buildings in the town and district, amongst them being St. Paul's Church, the Cooma Hospital, and the Station Buildings at Myalla: and Dange- long. After finishing the home stead of the late Mr. Wm. Jar dine, Mr J. J.Mawson withdrew from the firm, but the other two continued erecting numerous stone structures, building Cool- ringdon house, the Gegedzerick homestead for the Brook's fam- ily; the Bank of New South Wales which was Mr Potter's own property and was used at that time for the "Mercury" office, Messrs. Heeney & Spring being the proprietors. It was sold later to form the first branch of the Bank of New South Wales. Mr. Jardine's cot- age in Cooma, the residence of the Sub-Inspector, the Presby tery of the RC. Church, and Dodds' Hotel are other buildings ercted and chimneys, ceilings and plastered walls of his work are to be found throughout the Manaro district. In January, 1870, Mr. Potter married Miss Catherine Camp- bell niece of the late Mr Wm. Jardine, at Curry Flat and for several years thereafter he re- sided in Cooma where his eldest son William was born. When he sold his property in Cooma he selected at Back Flat, but, soon sold his land there to Mr. J. Cosgrove. He next selected at Bobeyan, but about three years after he sold that property to Mr. A. A. McKeahnie, and bought Jones' Plain where he af- terwards resided for 33 years. His health up to within a few weeks of his death was exceed- ingly good, heart failure bring- ing about a sudden yet peaceful end to a lengthy career. Hon oured and admired by all who knew him for his strict integrity and honesty of purpose, it can safely be said he had no enemy. To mourn their great sorrow he has left a loving wife,three sons William Campbell Potter, oper- ator in the G.P.O. Sydney; Al- bert Ernest Potter, of Inglevale; and Charles Edwin Potter, Jones Plain; also one daughter Mrs. R. M. Paterson , Public School, Kiandra. The body was laid to rest in the C.E. portion of the Adaminaby cemetery on Mon- day 20th ultimo, the service be- ing read most impressively by the Rev. Mr Thomas, of Ada- minaby. The Rev Mr McAlpine of Cooma was also present at the graveside and appropriately made many references to the respect in which Mr Potter was held. The three sons and son-in-law were the pall-bearers, while the funeral arrangements were in the hands of Mr A. A. Bell, of Adaminaby. The coffin of pol- ished cedar, richly silver-mount- ed was a work of art. friends from far and near joined the funeral on its way to the ceme- tery, and quite a number fol- lowed the hearse from the home- stead. Much sympathy is ex- pressed for the bereaved ones, who are all very popular in the district. |
