DEATH OF MR. J. T. HILL.
It is with regret that we have to report the death of one of Adelong's esteemed citizens, in the person of Mr. J. T. Hill. The death was not unexpected, as Mr. Hill had been a sufferer from acute asthma for many years, and of late had been getting considerably worse, and it could be seen that he could not last long, despite the best of medical advice and all that loving and skilful nursing could do. The late Mr. Hill was born at Bathurst, but resided nearly all his life in the Adelong and Tumut districts. It was a Tumut lady he married (Miss Howard, sister of Mr. W. Howard), and together they reared their family, all of whom are grown up, and all were present to see the remains of their beloved father laid in their last resting place on Sunday, in the Adelong Cemetery. Mr. Hill was always a most enthusiastic church-worker, and, holding the position of steward in St. Paul's Church, Adelong, his services and advice were always valued very highly by ministers in this parish. Mr. Hill was well known right throughout these districts, and commanded the respect and esteem of all with whom he came in contact. Besides a sorrowing widow, the members of the family surviving are: Mrs. F. Smith, Mr. P. Hill, Mrs. H. Bye (Adelong), Horace (Ariah Park), Mrs. C. Grady (Temora) and Miss Eileen (Adelong). Prior to the last sad rites, a church service was held in St. Paul's Church, Rev. G. F. Pyke officiating.

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.
