Obituary.
DEATH OF MR JAMES BRUMBY.
It becomes our melancholy duty to have to record the death, at the age of 51 years, of Mr. James Brumby, who went "to that borne from whence no traveller returns" on Saturday last at 4 a.m., at his residence, Newtown, Tumut. The cause of death was paralysis, induced by phosphorous poisoning contracted in Cowra, where for nine months the poor fellow was engaged in the destruction of that pest of all pests, the rabbit. Drs. Mason and Browne did their utmost to stem the tide of the insidious trouble but in vain, the unfortunate man having been bedridden for the past 12 months, for the greater portion of the time suffering indescribable agony, and death to him must have been a happy release. Throughout his long and painful illness, deceased was tenderly watched over and cared for by a dutiful wife and loving daughters. The deceased spent most of his life in Tumut, married Miss Dean, eldest daughter of the late Mr. Charles Dean, and the result of the union was six daughters, viz., Mary (Mrs A. Buckley), Harriett, Martha, Daisy, Violet and Daphne, and three sons, William, George and Robert, who have been left to mourn the loss of a hardworking husband and father, whose last year's regret was that he was unable to do any more for them. Again the curtain falls on a clouded life, and we extend our deepest sympathy to the wife and bereaved ones, who certainly have had more than their share of life's troubles. The funeral took place on Sunday last, the remains being interred in the Presbyterian portion of the new cemetery. Mr. James Elphick was the undertaker, and in the absence of the Rev. R. E. Davies, who was at Adelong, his son officiated at the grave.
What though in lonely grief I sigh,
For friends beloved no longer nigh,
Submissive still would I reply,
Thy will be done!

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.
