The Tumut and Adelong Times 9 Jul 1929
THE LATE MR. WILLIAM CARTER. The late Mr. William Carter, one of the early settlers of the Gilmore district, who died at his home, Ferndale, Gilmore Valley, on Wednesday last, had reached the ripe old age of 88 years, senile decay being the cause of his demise. Deceased was on Reedy Flat (Batlow) in the palmy days of the gold era and in late years selected and settled on Gilmore, and acquired other properties afterwards. He was a quiet unobtrusive man, of frugal habits, and whose integrity was never once in question, all his dealings being, aboveboard and conscientiously carried out. These admirable traits won for him the esteem and respect of all who knew him or had any land, stock or business transactions with him. He was a keen judge of stock and had an intimate knowledge of the problems of the man on the land. For over half a century he remained on the old homestead. He leaves a sorrowing widow, only two months his junior, who was a true helpmeet throughout all the trials, tribulations and vicissitudes the pioneers went through, and with which they can justly be numbered. Mrs. Carter's maiden name was Callaway, her brother being Mr. I. Callaway, of Batlow. Deceased left no other relatives herearound outside his own family, which consists of four daughters (Mrs. H. O'Sullivan and Miss Doll Carter, of Sydney, Misses Aice and Eva of Gilmore) and two sons (George of South Coast and Thomas of Deniliquin). The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon, the remains being interred in the Church of England portion of the Tumut Old Cemetery, Rev. F. W. Rettie officiating at the graveside and Messrs Fuller and Burt being the undertakers. The bearers of the coffined body were Messrs P. McKey, Geo. Carter (nephew), Phil, and Geo. Butler, John Whatman and Stan Dickenson.

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.
