The Tumut and Adelong Times 24 Mar 1942
OBITUARY MR. ERIC R. JOHNSTON We regret to report the death of Mr. Eric Raymond Johnston of "Braeside," Gilmore Road, Tumut, which occurred at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, on Friday last. News of his death came as a shock to his legion of friends at Gilmore and Tumut, where he was well and favorably known. A few weeks ago Mr. Johnston swallowed a small bone, which lodged in his throat and chest and after consultation with his medico he left for Sydney on Thursday last to undergo an operation for its extraction. The operation took place on Friday, but Mr. Johnston suddenly collapsed and died under the anaesthetic. Mrs. Johnston, who recently came out of hospital af ter a period of illness, accompanied her husband to Sydney. We extend our sincere sympathy to her and to members of the family in the great loss they have sustained. The late Mr. Johnston was a committeeman of the Tumut A. and P. Association, and being showminded he took a great interest in the annual Show at Tumut. He worked very hard for the Show held recently and his presence on the committee will be missed. He was also a member of the Gilmore Agricultural Bureau and a few years ago was president of that organisation for a period. Of a quiet and unassuming nature, the late Mr. Johnston was a hard but silent toiler, and his loss to the community will be felt. Prior to purchasing "Braeside" about 12 years ago from the late Mr. Archie Mc Gillivray, Mr. Johnston had a property at Wherrol Flat in the Wingham district (North Coast), where he was born. He married Miss Sofia Dorothy Stuart, of Pymble, at Linden, Blue Mountains, in 1919, and to the union there were born a family of six, two of whom predeceased him. Those surviving are Erwin (R.A.N. ), Selwyn, Amy and Rosemary. Two brothers, of a family of nine brothers and five sisters, also survive. The coffined remains were brought to Tumut yesterday morning and after a service at St. Stephen's Presbyterian Church conducted by the Rev. Donald M. Baird the funeral left the church at 2.15 p.m. for the Presbyterian portion of the Tumut New Cemetery. The mortuary arrangements were in the hands of Mr. C. W. Burt and the pall-bearers were Messrs. Stuart (2 brothers-in-law), M. Archer, A. Webb, H. Piper and J. Bruce.

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.
