Excerpt from
The Tumut Advocate and Farmers and Settlers' Adviser (NSW : 1903 - 1925) Tue 13 Jul 1909
MR. JAMES DAY. A VETERAN PIONEER.
ON June 30, at 4 a.m., there passed away to Shadowland the then eldest resident in Tumut, in the person of Mr. James Day, sr., at the ripe old age of 94 years. He was born in Limerick, Ireland, on March 6, 1815, and, though of English parentage, his father belonged to a regiment in Ireland. In 1834, when only 19 years of age, he sailed for Australia, and was hired out to Dr. Clayton off the ship where he landed in Sydney. Thence he went to his employers' residence in Appin, near Campbelltown. East Blowering Station (now Mr. C. Badgery's) then belonged to Dr Clayton, and it can well be imagined the character of the country as it appeared then. He leaves behind him three sons, viz: James (Tumut), Benjamin (Mondongo) and George (Yarrangobilly); three daughters, viz Mrs A Simpson and Mrs Young (Sydney), Miss Phœbe ; and a legion of grand and great grandchildren, to mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate father, grandfather and Great grandfather. Two sons (Harry and William) and three daughters (Mrs H W Hoad, Mrs S French and Mrs John Harmer) predeceased him.
