Note 1: see notes Sydney Morning Herald 5 Nov 1930 MR. ROBERT HOWE. Mr. Robert Howe, who died at Rylstone last week, at the age of 89 years, was a link with the early history of Journalism in New South Wales. He was born at the old Sydney "Gazette" office in George-street, Sydney. His great-grandfather founded and owned the "Gazette," and three generations of the Howe family conducted the paper. Mr. Howe's grandmother was Sarah Bloodworth, a daughter of Maria Lee, who was born at Norfolk Island in 1796. The Blood- worths had a grant of land at Dabee, in the Rylstone district, over a hundred years ago. For the greater part of his life Mr. Robert Howe lived in the Rylstone district, following rural pursuits. For many years he followed the calling of a bee-farmer.

THE LATE MRS. BLOODWORTH. This lady who died on Sunday week in Sydney, aged 99 was a native of the colony (says the Mudgee Guardian) and her connections and descendants are numerous. The thread of relationship touches the Bloodworths of Merri Merri, the Lees of Bylong and Orange, the Howes of Rylstone, and the Gardiners of Wellington. Two of the oldest Mudgee residents, Messrs. John Bax and William Blackman, knew intimately many members of the family, and living at the same time as some of them are able to give interesting particulars of the life and times of the deceased nonogenarian, who by the way, would have been a centenarian in August next. One of Mrs. Bloodworth's daughters married Mr. Charles Howe, then proprietor of the Sydney Gazette and S.M. Herald, whose father was one day fishing off Fort Denison, when the boat capsized, and be was drowned, the body being speedily recovered. His little son Alfred, who was in the boat with him, was kept afloat until picked up, by the wind getting under his pinafore, forming a life buoy. Tha widow carried on the papers, but on marrying a Mr. Watt, the eldest son, Robt. Howe, succeeded to the proprietorship of the above papers. Alfred did not live long, for while at Port Macquarie the little fellow was paddling in the sea about up to his knees when a shovel nosed shark came up, and caught him by the leg. His screams brought help in the person of a man servant, who held on to the boy, but his leg was torn off, and the poor little fellow soon after died from the terrible injuries. Mr. C. Howe married Miss Sally Bloodworth, a daughter of the nonogenarian, and after carrying on the paper a while, he left Sydney, settling at Antoney's Creek. He lived for a time near Mr. John Gardiner, who married another Miss Blood- worth, some years after removing to Cobolyon, near Wellington, where he still resides. George Bloodworth, a son of the old lady, married a Miss Polly Gardiner, then of Blackheath (Antoney's Greek), and lived on the station on the Merri Merri. This station was known far and near as the most hospitable in the west, and no one ever received other than kind, courteous and cordial treatment, and the good name sticks to it to this day. Mr. George Bloodworth left for Queensland with cattle, 'and while there died. The station has remained in possession of his sons George and Charlie, the latter of whom now resides at Rylstone on a fine property, long in the family. The widow of Mr. George Bloodworth eventually came to reside in Mudgee, living in a cottage near the Terminus Hotel. She is now dead. Another daughter of the old lady just deceased married a Mr. Lee, and was the mother of James, John, and George Lee. Mr. John Lee lives at Bylong, Mr. James Lee at Larras Lake, and Mr. George Lee at Leeholme, on the Bathurst side. Mrs. George Bloodworth's son George is now on the Merri Merri. The Charles Howe, who married a daughter of the old lady, is the father of the Howes of Rylstone, viz., Messrs. Robert, George, Thomas, James, and Charles Howe, and Mrs. Highfield is a daughter. The mother of this family died some time ago in Rylstone. The family, and connections are all highly esteemed, especially in the localities in which they reside.
