The Tumut and Adelong Times 31 Jul 1945
OBITUARY MR. WILLIAM HIBBENS The death occurred at his home in Simpson-st., Newtown, Tumut, of Mr. William James Hibbens as the result of heart failure. Deceased, who was 74 years of age, was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Hibbens, of Mondongo. He was engaged in farming pursuits in early manhood and took over his fathers property, which he conducted until 1914, when he enlisted in the A.I.F., selling out to his brother George. On his return after service overseas he followed the occupation of general laborer. For the past 16 years he had been residing at Newtown, Tumut. At the age of 14 the late Mr. Hibbens joined the M.U.I.O.O.F. and retained his membership for 60 years until his death. He was a single man. There is one brother, James, of Wee Waa, and three sisters, Jane (Mrs. J. Dougherty, Hurlstone Park), Annie (Mrs. Reynolds, Queensland), and Alice (Mrs. A. Costello, Tumut), surviving. Deceased was accorded an Oddfellows' funeral, the cortege leaving from the residence for the C. of E. portion of the Tumut New Cemetery. Rev. S. Broadfoot officiated at the graveside and Mr. F. Johnson, read the Oddfellows' funeral service. The pall-bearers were Messrs. Gordon Costello, Cecil Withers (nephews), Ted Anderson, M. Carr and G. Jones (all M.U. members).

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.
