Personal Notes:

Death of Mr. William Jardine A Monaro Pioneer
Manaro Mercury Friday July 1 1904
During the week death has removed an old and much esteemed resident of Monaro in the person of Mr. William Jardine, of the Curry Flat Station, near Nimitybelle, the sad event taking place on Tuesday last. Few who knew this Monaro Pioneer, and were acquainted with his strength and constitution, had the slightest idea that the end was so near, and thus the shock to the wide circle of friends of this gentleman was the more severe. Up to a fortnight ago, Mr. Jardine appeared to be in his usual good health, and proceeded about his business in the cheery and hearty manner which was characteristic of his personality, and his loss will be keenly felt by numbers far and near.
After making a journey to Yaouk about a fortnight since, Mr. Jardine was returning to Nimitybelle, and made a short stay at Nitholm, on of his properties about five miles from Cooma, where his sister Miss Agnes Carlisle Jardine resides. On Sunday week he was walking about as usual, and apparently in the best of health. At about eleven o'clock on that morning he went to his room to rest, as was his custom, and about two hours later Miss Jardine visited him and ascertained that he could not move, his left side being attacked by paralysis. Medical aid was at once sought, and the patient was placed under the care of Dr. Paton, who sent out a trained nurse to render constant attention. Mr. John Jardine who manages the station properties for the family, visited him on Monday evening last noticed a great improvement in the condition of the patient, and considered he was progressing well towards recovery. It was the opinion of the household that Mr. Jardine would soon be able to be about again, and Mr. John Jardine left for Curry Flat, reaching home at eight o'clock that night. At about four o'clock on Tuesday morning word was sent to Curry Flat that Mr. Jardine was showing symptoms of collapse, and Mr. John Jardine returned to Nitholm at six that morning, finding his father quite conscious, though weak, and fully impressed with the fact that recovery was impossible. The patient wished the members of the household goodbye and retained consciousness up to within an hour of his death, which occurred shortly after noon. At the period of his death Mr. Jardine was in his eighty fifth year.
Arrangements were accordingly made for the funeral, and it was decided to bring the remains to Cooma, and place them in the Presbyterian Church, where a service was held on Thursday afternoon. The cortege left Nitholm at two o'clock arriving at the church at four o'clock in the afternoon. The pulpit of the edifice was draped, and the coffin was borne by Messrs Angus, John and James (sons of the deceased) and Henry Jardine a nephew of Bega.) The funeral arrangements were in the hands of Mr. W. Thornton, and the coffin was of polished cedar, with silver mountings. The plate bore the following inscription:- "William Jardine died 28th June 1904 aged 84 years" Floral tokens of regard were placed on the coffin, these having been sent by Mr. John Jardine and the members of the family, the Misses Lily and Kate Jardine, Mr. & Mrs. T. Thomas, Mr and Mrs Feilen Snr. Mrs Scully and family (Sydney) the residents of Nimitybelle, Messrs Sands and Sellar, and Mr. and Mrs E. Hain. The church was well filled by well known residents of the town and district, who attended to convey their last tribute of respect to the memory of one who was beloved by all.
The minister Rev. J.H. Craig, being absent from Cooma on a fortnight's holiday, the service was conducted by the Rev. Andrew Baron of Grafton. The hymn "Take comfort Christians when your friends" was sung by the congregation, after which the Rev. gentleman read the 90th Psalm, and a passage from 1st Thessalonians, chapter 4. Continuing, the Rev. Mr. Barron said that such words of comfort an divine inspiration concerning their trust in and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ as the only saviour of the soul. It was a solemn occasion on which they were gathered together that afternoon; it was solemn indeed to stand up in open grief and think of the lessons it spoke to everyone; it was equally solemn to gather round the lifeless frame of their departed brother. Parting left sorrow in those closely connected; "man was born to sorrow as the sparks fly upward,." and they looked forward to those daily separations and trials. Sometimes they came in certain cases very sad very trying; sometimes others were cut down in their youth, before their beginning days and years of usefulness, and hearts mourned because of the youth that had passed away; others in the full strength of life, leaving those behind them, unprovided for. Sad and sorrowful where partings like those, the departure of their brother caused sorrow in the parting;; he had gone beyond some four score years and was now called away; cut down and gone to be gathered unto his father at a good old age. They sympathised with the relatives; they were sorry but not as those who had no hope. He knew nothing so soothing to the conscience as the knowledge and confidence and hope of being called to Jesus.
Continuing his remarks, the Rev gentleman said he was a stranger in the district, on a visit, and their departed friend was unknown to him, but he had heard a little about him since he arrived a few days ago; he had heard many kind words spoken about him; what a good Christian man he was, on who was not ashamed to take his stand on the side of Jesus, and was known as a follower of the Lamb, and one who helped the cause that was dear to them. The knowledge that he was in abetter world might sooth and comfort sorrowing hearts better than all their sympathy. He learned that Mr.Jardine was a man of wide Christian sympathies, open hearted and of great liberality to the cause of good and truth; living to help ever good object, a brother in adversity to those who needed his help. In the sphere which he filled in the world, in the market a man of honour, integrity and reliability; a man to be trusted and believed in wherever he was situated. Such a man was he, and sadly missed when his place was vacant. He occupied a wide sphere of influence in the district, and the speaker was sure the loss would be felt by all those who came in much contact with him. Such a place was not easily filled. The last call was a lesson and a call to every one of them; the voice said "be ye always ready, and such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh". Spared as he was to a good old age, the call came soon, and he had not gathered his friends around him to bid him the last farewell. He had left behind him true and sorrowing friends, and died regretted. They all had their little places to fill, their influence exercised every one of them. That dispensation was given to all, so that they might bear their trials and losses, and enjoy the blessings of life.
The Rev. Gentleman then delivered a prayer, after which the congregation sang the hymn "Now the labourers task is o'er", following which the organist Mr. H.A. Evans played with much effect "The Dead March" from Saul.
The remains were left in the church during the night, and in the morning the funeral started for the burial ground at Round Plain, which is situated between Berridale and Adaminaby, and is about thirty miles distant. The cemetery formed portion of the Bullembalong run, owned , and formerley occupied, by Mr .Jardine the site being given to the Presbyterian Church by the owner. The Rev J.H. Craig returned to Cooma this morning, and, with the Rev. James Cameron of West Monaro, conducted the burial service at the grave.
The decease was born on 22nd October 1819 at Rysedale, Dumfries Scotland. and was 84 years of age last October. He landed in Sydney on 8th January, 1841 being then 22years of age, having come out with the late Mr. Hugh Wallace from Scotland.
He came to the Monaro district in 1846 and in the following year started the Jindabyne Flour Mill, using the waters of the Snowy River as the motive power. He worked the flour mill for several years, and then (about 40 years ago) purchased the Bullembalong Station. He sold this to Mr. Dona Ryrie shortly afterwards, and bought Curry Flat, a property of 14,000 acres. When the Curry Flat Station was acquired it was nearly all Crown land, unsecured, but is now a compact freehold property, and Mr. Jardine has resided there for about 35 years. Other properties owned by the deceased were Nitholm, of 1300 acres, near Cooma; 1200 acres at Jindabyne; and other smaller places. Curry Flat, which carries sheep and cattle, was a very undesirable property before it became improved, and many were the warnings which Mr. Jardine received, that he could make nothing out of it. The grass was rank and coarse that the outlook was not promising, but with burning off it became good for sheep, and the owner quickly fenced the paddocks, which then required no shepherds to watch the flocks. Some twenty years ago Mr. Jardine was thrown from his horse which bolted when he was returning from a visit to Mr.Henry Wallace's, Dangelong Station to Curry Flat. He then suffered paralysis in the groin, but recovered. The day before his last attack (Saturday week) he was out riding, and Mr. John Jardine was about to truck some bullocks. Mr. Jardine Snr. was then riding a pony bareback, helping to cut the cattle out, and while sliding off the animal got a slight fall, which may perhaps have hastened the attack from which he succumbed. That was nearly two weeks ago, and he was then working at Nitholm. Mr. Jardine was a splendid mechanic, and built a sulky, with steps at rear, and a set of harness, which was worn by two ponies which he had bred. This vehicle formed one of the funeral procession, and conveyed the numerous floral tributes from Nitholm to the Presbyterian church in Cooma.
Mr. Jardine was a splendid stamp of a pioneer, of hardy constitution and a will to overcome all obstacles. Although not occupying prominent public positions he was a steady worker, throwing the whole of his energies into matters which he took in hand. He was one of the promoters of the Cooma P.&A Association being a prominent and successful exhibitor of stock. For years he was one of the honorary magistracy, and an elder of the Presbyterian Church in Cooma, he being one of the guarantors, and assisting largely to pay off the debt on the building. He was greatly interested in matters pertaining
to the progress of the district, and his death has caused a void which is extremely hard to fill. Being possessed of a kindly disposition, his charitable actions were manifold, as many residents can testify, while he gained the admiration and esteem of all he came into contact by his unswerving probity. While a thoroughly practical and keen businessman, with a mind of broad mould, his nature was of the gentle kind who endeared him to everyone. The district can ill afford to lose such men, though it cannot expect to retain them long, after having, as did Mr. Jardine, lived to the ripe old age of nearly 85years.
Mr. Jardine leaves a family of five, viz. Mr. Robert Jardine of Bullembalong; Mr. Angus Jardine of Adaminaby; Mr. John Jardine, Curry Flat, and who has managed the properties for a number of years, Mr. James Jardine of Biggam Cattle Station, and Miss Mary Jardine who lives at Curry Flat. A son William, died twenty years ago. Miss Agnes Carlisle Jardine, who lives at Nitholm, is a sister to the deceased, and though having attained the age of eight-three is still hale and hearty.
Letters of condolence have been received by members of the family from Mrs. Cochrane, Messrs. Sands and Sellar, Mrs Hassall, the Rev J.H.Craig and Mr. C Taylor while telegrams were sent from Mesdames Lette, Driscoll, McKeahnie (Yaouk). Mr & Mrs. E.W. Cansdell, Mr & Mrs D. Lette, Messrs. C Donnelly, Searight, F Lawry (Manager N.Z.L and M.A. Coy.) O Harrison, M.A. Baird, G.L. Fischer, E. Barnes, the Nimitybelle bench of Magistrates, F.R. Woodward, Pitt Son and Badgery, W. Haslingdon, J Samuels, E. Evans, N.Scully, J & F McDonald, (William St. Sydney) H. Niblock, G.W. Ord and others.
