The Tumut and Adelong Times 28 Jul 1922
Obituary We briefly referred in our last issue to that particularly sad event, the death of Mr. F. J. Bourke, of Blowering, which took place on Friday morning last, causing quite a melancholy feeling to prevail throughout the district, for he was undoubtedly one of our most highly respected residents, having ingratiated himself with all classes of the community by his upright and straightforward actions, his wonderfully charitable diaposition, the energy and perseverance he always displayed in cases of distress, the prominent part he always took in helping along ventures for the advancement of the best interests of the district (especially Blowering), and his very hospitable nature. Although a devout adherent of the R.C. Church, he showed the greatest of respect to members of other denominations for being loyal to the faith they held. The management of affairs of the Bourke estate fell into his hands at the death of his father (one of the most liberal minded and kind hearted of men that was ever known), and, whilst he has fulfilled his mission with infinite credit, he has never been known to act in an arbitrary or exacting manner towards tenants of lands or properties — on the contrary, he has been extremely liberal in this respect. He was of a most convivial, genial and jocular disposition, and was about the best known identity in these districts; A kind-hearted and affectionate husband, a self-sacrificing and indulgent father, and one of the best of neighbours. No more industrious person was to be found, for he was always on the move, attending to estate duties. He was ever intent in advocating peace and contentment amongst people, and did his best to set examples, but at the same time he was possessed of the best of pluck in resenting an infringement of fair dealing. Although he fought the battle of life well and with contentment, his constitution was not robust, and this would perhaps, to a great degree, account for the malady he became afflicted with proving fatal. He had been moving about amongst his stock during wet weather we were experiencing a few weeks back, and was seized with a sudden chill, and became quite helpless. He was brought to his home, and medical aid was sought, but it was found that pneumonia had taken such a firm hold that the best efforts of Drs. Browne and Clouston were futile in combatting with the ailment. The very best of attention that could be devoted was given to the case, the fond wife and mebers of the family doing all in their power to second the efforts of the doctors, but all to no avail, for the honorable citizen gradually became weaker, until death ensued. A sorrowing widow and two grief stricken daughters (Misses Catherine and Mary) are left to mourn the loss of a model husband and father, and sincerest of sympathy is extended to them over their sad affliction. Rev. Father Sharkey made reference from his pulpit in the church on Sunday last, to the sad occurrence, using extolling sentiments bearing on the good qualities of the deceased, and uttering apt words of condolence to the widow, daughters and relatives— one brother (William) a sister (Mrs. Tim Quilty) and a niece (Mrs. P. Madigan). The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon, the large concourse of people attending same (representatives of all denominations) giving true indication of the respect and esteem in which the deceased was held ; and further proof, too, was the large number of wreaths that had been sent by friends to be placed on the coffin. Rev. Father Sharkey conducted obsequies at the grave-side, in the new cemetery, and Mr. H. Baker was the undertaker. Mr. F. C. Emanuel, who, with his father, has had legal affairs of the Bourke Estate in hand for many years, came up from Sydney before the death to adjust all matters, and remained to attend the funeral. |

| - Notes: DEATH OF MR FRANCIS J. BOURKE
After a short but distressing illness Mr. Francis Joseph Bourke passed away at 1.40 on Friday, at his residence, East Blowering, death being due to pneumonia. Deceased, who was 64 years of age, had always been active amongst his stock and during the late squally wet weather followed his usual bent. While in one of the paddocks he was affected by a sudden seizure, and became helpless, having to be removed to his home. Upon medical aid being summoned it was found that he was in the grip of pneumonia, and all that Drs. Browne and Clouston and the tender nursing of a devoted wife and daughters could do to retain the vital spark and bring him back to health was vouchsafed by those watching the case, it was acknowledged by the doctors on Saturday morning that there was no hope for recovery. Mr. Bourke was one of the widest and best known figures in farming and grazing circles in Tumut district. He was the eldest son of the late Wm. Bourke, one of the pioneers of East Blowering, and succeeded to the portion of his father's estate which he worked all his life. No public movement for the advancement of the district or for sweet charity's sake was launched for the last 40 odd years which had not his willing aid and generous financial assistance. Up till recent years he was also a moving spirit in many public institutions. His charitable acts were proverbial. Innumerable others received his bounty in secret; he was a man who gave for the sake of relieving the pressure of his fellows, and not for any limelight or even publicity. That was his modesty. His object was to see that suffering or privation were mollified, and the recipients made happier by his acts. A devout churchgoer and supporter, he set a noble example to his family and associates. These attributes were testified to in no misunderstood words by the Rev. Father J. Sharkey, P.P., in his address from the pulpit in the Roman Catholic Church on Sunday morning. A true and trusted friend whose warmth of heart could not be cooled by trivial considerations, the whole community mourn the loss of one who left the world richer by his having lived in it. He leaves a sorrowing widow (a daughter of the late Mrs. O'Neil), one son (Francis Joseph), and two daughters (Catherine and Mary), to whom the deepest sympathy goes out in their sad bereavement, besides one brother (William, of East Blowering) and a sister (Mrs. Timothy Quilty, of "River View," Tumut). Mrs. Percy Madigan is a niece. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon, the cortege which followed the remains to their last resting place in the Roman Catholic portion of the Tumut new cemetery being an exceptionally large one. Rev. Fr. Sharkey officiated at the graveside. The Tumut Advocate and Farmers and Settlers' Adviser (NSW : 1903 - 1925)Tuesday 25 July 1922 |
