Maitland Daily Mercury 6 April 1907
Death of Mr. Jas. W. Hodglns.
Although not altogether unexpected, the news of
the death of Mr. J. W. Hodgins, post and telegraph
master at Wingham, which sad event occurred at
his residence at 5 o'clock on the 25th ultimo, cast
quite a gloom over the district. The deceased
gentleman was a native of the Hunter River dis
trict, being the eldest son of Mr. James Hodgins of
Farley, his two sisters— Mrs. Dallas, of
Farley, and Mrs. Moore, of Bishop's Bridge —
arrived at Wingham previous to his death. Although
a comparatively young man, being in his 47th year,
it was noticed a year or two ago that his health had
begun to fail, and last year Mr. Hodgins was under
the treatment of Dr.McCormick in Sydney for a few
week. Ho apparently regained his strength, but on
his return to Wingham, tho wasting illness again
attacked him, and despite every attention by Drs.
Kelly and Gormley, the sufferer became more
-enfeebled, and passed away as stated, the cause of
death being pernicious anaemia. The late Mr.
Hodgins when quite a young man was appointed to
the charge of the Wingham Post Office, and for over
30 years maintained that position with credit to him
self and the Department, and with satisfaction to
the public. He was looked upon by the Postal De
partment as one of its most efficient and trust
worthy officers. He also held the pos
itions of electoral registrar and returning
officer for the Wingham district. He took an active
interest in all matters for the welfare of the public,
having for many years acted as treasurer to the
Upper Manning A. and H. Association, whilst in
sporting circles, especially on the cricket field,
his familiar figure, will be greatly missed. Mr.
Hodgins was always courteous and obliging
in the discharge of his official duties. The
sympathy of the district is extended to Mrs
Hodgins and her young family in her trouble. Mr.
Clyde Hodgins, the oldest, is employed with Messrs.
Farmer and Co., Sydney, but the other members of
the family (Thomas, Lobban, Dallas, and James) re
side at home. The remains were interred in the
Wingham Cemetery in the presence of an unusually
large concourse of people. At the graveside the
Rev. S. P, Stowart read tbe burial service, and
delivered a very impreasive address. Tho Revs. E.
H. Wright, and J. H. Terras also assisted. The
coffin and hearse wore literally covered with floral
tributes sent by sympathising friends. — ' Manning
River Times.'
