Personal Notes:
The Tumut and Adelong Times 10 May 1927
Sudden Death of Mrs J. C. Pearce The sudden death of Mrs. Sarah Jane Pearce, wife of Mr. John C. Pearce, of 'Hillside,' Yaven Creek, which occurred at the Tumut and District Hospital on Friday evening last, a little after 5 o'clock, cast a gloom over the Adelong district, of which she was a native and where she had lived all her life and was widely known and highly respected. Deceased entered the hospital some three weeks ago with a varicose vein in the leg. Drs. Browne and Clous ton, performed an operation, and ev erything was going on in the patient's favor. On Friday evening, while she was being prepared for the night by the nurse, Mrs. Pearce suddenly collapsed and died, death beirig due to a clot of blood on the brain. It was quite an unexpected development of the case, and the sudden death made the shock to her husband and family of ten all the more severe. The late Mrs. Pearce was aged 49 years, and was the mother of five sons and five daughters; who, with a sorrowing husband, are bereft of a devoted parent and a loving wife. The deepest sympathy is everywhere expressed for the bereaved relatives. The remains were taken to Adelong on Saturday afternoon for interment in the Church of England portion of the cemetery, Rev. G. F. Pyke, Rector of St. Paul's reciting the burial service at the graveside.

This public tree has about 60,100 people. Every person in the tree is related by birth or marriage to at least one other person in the tree - no strays. The people in the tree come mainly from four projects.
  1. My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
  2. Canberra and Queanbeyan Pioneers. The next 30,000 begun about 2004. Sourced almost entirely from HAGSOC's excellent 'Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan'. The project began when I decided to add siblings, spouses and parents for a relation with an entry in the Register. 12 years work.
  3. Wagga Pioneers. I moved to Wagga and thought I would extend the Queanbeyan project by adding people from Wagga Wagga & District Family History Society's 'Pioneers of Wagga Wagga and District'. About 10,300 people added over about a year.
  4. Tumut Valley Pioneers. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, I decided to extend the above projects by adding pioneers of the Tumut Valley. Initial sources were Snowden's 'Pioneers of the Tumut Valley' and 'Relict of ... Lives of Pioneering Women of Tumut and District'. Excellent references published by Tumut Family History Group. I've also added material from newspapers of the time - especially, death records, obituaries and weddings from 'Tumut and Adelong Times'. This project is in its early stage and might take a few years. I plan to extend to the upper Monaro (Adaminaby, Kiandra, Cooma, Jindabyne).
I upload new information to this website about every 3 months. My motivation for these projects is to provide public information for people seeking to trace ancestors and what became of them. Much of the information I provide can be difficult to find.
If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources.
