The Tumut and Adelong Times 26 Oct 1948
OBITUARY MR. THOMAS HILLIER As briefly referred to in our last issue, the death occurred at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. McBride, Russel Street, Tumut, on Wednesday, October 20, of Mr. Thomas Hillier, a member of one of the pioneering families of the Tumut district. The late Mr. Hillier was born at Micalong on July 19, 1864, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hillier. In his time he was a wellknown shearer, travelling the length and breadth of the State at his calling, eventually settling down to farming pursuits at Jerrawa, from where he retired from active work about twelve years ago. For the past nine years Mr. Hillier had resided in Tumut with his niece, Mrs. J. McBride, and her husband and became a familiar figure in that locality. He had been failing for the past twelve months and bed-ridden since April, but throughout his long illness he was tenderly cared for by Mrs. McBride. He never married, but no wife or child could have ministered to his needs more devotedly than his niece. Of a large family of sisters and brothers only two remain, viz.: Mrs. J. Buckmaster (Yass); and Mr. J. Hillier (Jerrawa). Those deceased are Messrs. George (Tumut), James (Yass), Harry (South Australia), Edward (Jerrawa), Charles (Jerrawa) and Richard Hillier (Dubbo), Mrs. Sheldrick (Yass) and Mrs. Alf. Jeffery (Tumut); and others who died in infancy. The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon, leaving the home for the Church of England portion of the new cemetery, Mr. Reg. Baker (Estate H. W. Baker) having charge of the funeral arrangements and Dr. C. B. Alexander (Adelong) officiated in the absence of the Rector, Rev. S. Broadfoot. The pall bearers were Messrs. Fred., William and Sep. Hillier (nephews), Claude Hillier (grand-nephew), Ern. Bullock and Jas. Brennan. Many beautiful flowers were noted from Ivy, Jack and Jackie; H. and E. Cribb; Mrs. Sexton, Len and Alma; Billie and Elsie; Alf, Peter and Pearl Jeffery; Maida, Ernie and family; Vera and Dolly; Sep and George; Mrs. Mary McBride and family (Sydney) ; Jack, Hazel, Gloria, Janet and Graham Pearce; Frank and Mrs. Hill and family; Bert, Alma and family; Mrs. Watson and family (Gocup); Mrs. H. W. Baker and family; Jim, Tot and Jimmy; Sylvia, Sandy and family.
