OBITUARY.
DEATH OF MRS. JOHN MADIGAN.
Once again the fell destroyer, Death, has passed through our midst, and removed therefrom one of the pioneers of the districts Mrs. John Madigan. One by one the men and women, who in the early days so courageously attacked the dangers, discomforts, and trials of bush life are passing away. Surrounded today as we are by the fruits of their labors, we are apt to pass by their exertions lightly, and not esteem them at their true worth. What a host of memories they possessed of bygone days. They seem a link between the present and the past, and it is with deep sorrow we regard the snapping of those links. But with the grief comes the feeling that "afterlife's fitful fever they sleep well'" — they received that reward which is the meed of their labours. Mrs. John Madigan was married in Ireland, and arrived in Australia in 1843. This was years before the gold discovery ; before Victoria was separated from N. S. Wales; before Queensland was founded; before railways were built — a time when about the whole of Australia was virgin country. Remembering these facts, the magnitude of the task before the settlers can be understood. From Sydney Mr. and Mrs. Madigan came to Yass, where they remained for one year. From thence they passed on to Tumut, and later on Mr. Madigan removed to Brugle, and engaged in pastoral pursuits. After spending some time at Mundongo, a change was made to Tumut, in 1850, and the first public house in Tumut, the "Queen's Arms," was opened. The buildings stood on the site of the present Oriental Hotel. In 1862 Mrs. Madigan suffered an irreparable loss by the death of her husband. The hostelry was, however, still kept on, but in 1874 Mrs. Madigan retired into private life, the business being sold to late Mr. McKay. From the latter it passed into the hands of Mr. Sullivan, and after a short time reverted to the present proprietor, Mr. J. E. Madigan. Virtually it may be said that the property has been in the hands of the family for half a century. Mrs. Madigan reached the allotted span of four scores years on 1st Feb. last. For the past eight years she had been suffering from rheumatism, and later on was afflicted with cataract in each eye, as a result she could only distinguish light from day. She bore all her afflictions uncomplaingly, with christian fortitude. The immediate cause of death was senile decay ; and of her it may truly be said "her end was peace." In her final illness, she was ministered to by the Rev. Mother and sisters, whilst the last rites of the Church were performed by the Rev. Father Sharkey. Rev. Father O'Dwyer also was most regular in his ministrations to the deceased. For years past Mrs. Maugan has received the devoted attention of her daughters, Mrs. O'Connel and Mrs. O'Mara. Hearing of the serious illness of her mother, Mrs. Lahiff journeyed all the way from Wollongong, and Mrs Tuohy came from Melbourne that she might once again speak to her lifelong friend and relative. Dr. Mason did all that medical skill could supply to prolong the flicker of life, and to him the family feel specially grateful. In common with the whole community, we tender our sympathy to the bereaved relatives, who in this dark hour have the satisfaction that their dear one passed away full of years and honour."
