F. and F. W. Swords, of Dandenong, died last week at the age of 93. The deceased lady was a very old colonist. She was born at Nenagh, Ireland, on April 21, 1821, and came of a good old English family, her mother being one of the Falkiner, of Bush Park and Mount Falkiner, county of Tipperary. She married in 1839 James Walter Swords, whose father was a colour-sergeant in the famous Black Watch, and spent the end of his days as librarian at Somerset House London. They emigrated to Australia on March, 1840. in the sailing ship Teresa (Captain Wood), arriving at Liardet's Beach, now Port Melbourne, after a five months' voyage. Portland Guardian 5 Oct 1914 Death of a Pioneer of Victoria. The following are extracts from a lengthy article in the, "Dandenong Advertiser" of Octoter1:—It is with deep regret we have to notify the death of Mrs J. W. Swords, relict of the late J. W. Swords, who passed away on Friday morning, 25th September, 1914, at her late residence, Victoria Villa, Hutton st., Dandenong, in her 94th year. Mrs. Swords was born at Nenagh, county Tipperary, Ireland, on April 21st, 1821. On the 23rd November, 1839, she was married to James Walker Swords, native of Deal, England, by the Hon. Ludlow Tonson, D.D., Lord Bishop of Killaloe, by special license. Here we may state that the parish and family minister had previously refused to marry the young couple, alleging as his reason that he would not be a party to sending a delicately nurtured young creature to a land of savages, out of civilisation, knowing they were about to start for Australia. The honeymoon was spent on the ocean, the young couple having sailed for the Antipodes in March, 1840, in the barque, Theresa (Captain Wood), arriving at Melbourne on the 24th June, five months after embarking. Mr Swords came out under engagement to Mr Thomas Strade, and worked for some time alongside of him at the case in the printing office; after this he was shipping reporter on the "Port Phillip Patriot." He then arranged with Thomas Wilkinson to start the "Portland Guardian" the first provincial newspaper (we believe) published in (then N.S.W.) Victoria. The type and machinery were forwarded by water, and the young people travelled overland from Melbourne in a dray, a feat in those days of unmade roads and bridges requiring both courage and stamina, but they arrived safely. Mrs. Swords pulled the first impression of the "Portland Guardian," on August 20, 1842, in Gawler street, this copy being now in the possession of Mr. Hughes, of the "Casterton News," on the margin of which appears the signature of Francis Henty, the pioneer. Ceasing his connection with the "Portland Guardian," Mr. Swords speculated in land buildings in Melbourne and Collingwood in 1851, and was looked upon as a wealthy man. Later on he resorted to farming and grazing on the Werribee river, after which he started the "Wahgunyah Watchman" at Rutherglen; then the "Bacchus Marsh Guardian," Ballan paper, and finally the "Dandenong Advertiser," now owned by H. F. and F. W. Swords. Mr J. W. Swords, who predeceased his wife 35 years, was born at Deal, England, and was the son of James Walter Swords, of Scottish descent. He was color-sergeant in the famous Black Watch, fought in Waterloo and the various battles of this war, his clasps and decorations being now in the possession of descendants. Mrs. Swords was an active worker in church matters, a liberal giver, and general supporter of any movement for the uplifting of humanity, and a good mother of 13 children, five of whom are living, including H. F. and F. W. Swords, James T. Swords (N.SW.), E. A. Swords, Dandenong, and Mrs. P. Murray, Mirboo North. The remains of deceased were in interred in the family grave, Dandenong, on Sunday. South Bourke and Mornington Journal (Richmond, Vic. : 1872 - 1920) 1 Oct 1914 Obituary. It is with regret we record the death of Mrs J. W. Swords, which occurred at her late residence, Hutton-street, Dandenong, on Friday morning. Deceased was born on April 21, 1821, at Nenagh, Ireland. She married the late James Walter Swords in 1839, and emigrated to Australia in March, 1840, in the sailing ship, 'Teresa' (Capt. Wood). Her late husband came to Australia under engagement to Mr T. Strode, of the Port Phillip 'Patriot,' and afterwards journeyed to Portland, where he founded the 'Guardian.' In 1860 he established the Bacchus Marsh 'Guardian,' and in 1874 the Dandenong 'Advertiser,' now the property of his two sons, Messrs H. F. and F. W. Swords. Mr Swords pre deceased his wife thirty years ago. The funeral, which was a private one, took place on Sunday afternoon, the remains being interred in the Church of England portion of the Dandenong cemetery, when the Rev. E. A. Veal conducted the burial service, and Mr. J. W. Garnar attended to the mortuary arrangements. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved relatives. Argus (Melbourne) 26 Sept 1914 SWORDS. —On the 25th September, 1914, at Dandenong, M. A. Swords, relict of the late J. W. Swords, aged 94 years. A Victorian colonist of 74 years.
