Mr. James Holston passed peace fully away at his late residence, 'Braema,' Adaminaby, on 15th inst., aged 93 years. Born in Larvig, Norway, in 1863, he led in his 'teens' a seafaring life, and was in the Bay of Sebastopol on a merchant ship during the Crimean War. At the age of 19 he arrived in Australia on the sailing ship 'Walter Scott,' and spent some years gold digging in Victoria, Lambing Flat, Kiandra and New Zealand. From New Zealand he returned to Monaro, and some 60 years ago settled on the land near Adaminaby, where he has resided ever since, and where he obtained the respect and esteem of his neighbors. He leaves a widow, who was before marriage Miss Margaret Taylor Carter, of Teviot Bank, Adaminaby, and a family of nine, one daughter, Lilian, wife of Mr. A. D. McPhie, Nimmo, having predeceased him six years ago. There are also 30 grandchildren and three great grandchildren. |
