Personal Notes:
The Tumut and Adelongg Times 1 Sep 1936
OBITUARY ESTHER THERESA ARENTZ The death occurred in the Tumut District Hospital yesterday morning of Mrs Esther Theresa Arentz, widow of the late Francis Arentz, of Tumut, at the advanced age of 87 years, senile decay being the cause of her demise. Deceased was brought into hospital last Saturday week and passed away peacefully in the in stitution yesterday as stated. Mrs. Arentz was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Stanton, of Bulli, where she was born. She came to Tumut in her early twenties and was associated as a domestic with the early settlers. Over sixty years ago she married Mr. Francis Arentz in the R.C. Church, Tumut, Father Toomey being the celebrant. Her husband was a building contractor and was engaged in constructing roads and bridges. Relinquishing the building trade, Mr. Arentz took up farming pursuits on Mr. Roley Shelley's property at Tumut Plains and then finally settled on "Petfield" Estate 41 years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Arentz were such wonderful tenants of the original Cooke family, who have received grants of land from the Crown, that the executors of the estate handed the lease down, being so satisfied with the measure with which Frank Arentz, wife and sons carried on the work of the farm that they allowed the tenure to continue to the end of their time. It so happens that one of the Arentz family is still in possession of what was originally known as Petfield Estate. Mr. Arentz died some eight years ago and, his wife carried on at the farm with her son. Deceased is survived by one daughter, Fanny (Mrs. G. K. Green, Tumut Plains), and six sons, Phillip (Forbes), John (Sydney), Leonard, Stephen, Reuben and Wallace (Tumut). The funeral takes place this afternoon at 3 o'clock, leaving the R.C. Church for the New Cemetery.

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.
