Note 3: Burial info Lachlander and Condobolin and Western Districts Recorder 10 Dec 1936 OBITUARY WILLIAM MAITLAND Of the many who have, from time to time, passed from this life, the sub ject of this obituary, was certainly one of the most outstanding in the public eye over a period of many years in Condobolin and district, and, beyond all doubt, deservedly one of the most respected. Born at Oyne, at the foot of Ben- Achie, Aberdeen, Scotland, on the 14th October, 1885, Mr. Maitland came to Australia 47 years ago and entered the employment of David Jones & Co. Sydney, in the drapery depart ment. From there he came direct to Condobolin and took charge of the drapery department for Thomas Wat son. Staying there a year or so, he went to a drapery firm in Albury. Next he went to Grenfell, and after be ing a short time in business on his own, he joined in partnership with the firm of Purdie and Co., in 1891. After being there five years he came back to Condobolin, in that terrible time when so many banks closed. His first business premises, on his own, were those now occupied by Mr. Chas. Steward. From there he removed to premises (since destroyed by fire) in the position where now stands the business of Mr. Alf Bradshaw, thence to Leadingham's store premises and later to the present business site, then occupied by the late Mr. Mat. Boul- ton. The business of William Mait land was formed into a company und er the title of William Maitland & Co., Limited, in 1923, and since when various managers have been employed, and Mr. Maitland taking very little personal interest of late years, main ly on account of ill-health, being the past two years practically confined to his home. It would require columns to enum erate all the good actions of Mr. Maitland both in public and private life. He was an alderman for many years, mayor several years, always an outstanding supporter of the show society, and the same of the jockey club up to recent years, many years on the hospital committee prior to the new Board scheme, great suppporter of the School of Arts, among the pri mary movers in the formation of the bowling club, and a foundations mem ber of thg local Masonic Lodge and of which he remained one of the most esteemed members, but, above all, he stood out so prominently during the Great War period as one ever ready with his financial and moral support— none better. Married in Condobolin on Septem- ber 17, 1891, to Miss Robertson, the union resulted in a family of three, Mrs. J. L'Estrange, Mrs. Hodgins, and Keith. It was a happy wedded life, the last 12 years in the beautiful new home, named "'Ben-Achie"after deceas- ed's birthplace. Indeed, the delightful home is just truly typical of the re- fined and cultured tastes of both hus- band and wife. For the past two years Mr. Maitland had been compelled to remain nearly all the time at home, tenderly cared for by a devoted wife and attentive family circle. Two years ago, he was given a wonderful birthday party as a complete surprise, but immensely appreciated. Gradually weakening for three weeks, with no hope of recovery, he passed peacefully away last Thursday morning. The funeral next day was the largest ever seen in Condobo- lin, the cortege leaving the Presbyter- ian Church at 3 p.m. The number of wreaths was also the largest we have seen here. About 80 of the Ma- sonic Brethren were present, and he was, of course, given a Masonic ritual interment, following the Church form- al burial by the Rev. Dorin. A feature outside the church building and at the entrance to the cemetery was the guard of honour formed by 20 of the local Scout boys, one holding a Union Jack flag with several black ribbons placed at the top of it. We join in extending our sincere sympathy to the bereaved ones.
