The Tumut Advocate 27 Nov 1923
Obituary MR. JOHN HARGREAVES. Mr. John Hargreaves did not long survive his wife. Death called him on Sunday week last, at the age of 82 years, at his daughters residence, Summer Hill. Deceased leaves a grown-up family—Mr. J. Hargreaves, Blowering ; Mr. E. Hargreaves, Wagragobilly; Mr. Arthur Hargreaves, Harden; Mr. Albert Hargreaves, Sydney; Ms. A. C. Benson and Mrs. C. Lincoln, Sydney. The late Mr. Hargreaves was a native of Campbelltown, and in his early days went to Bendigo where he mined for some time. Then he trekked to Adelong, and, working with Curtis and party, he was successful, selling out his mining interests for £2000. He purchased that fine Tumut River property, "Fern Bank," and successfully farmed there for 36 years, selling out 18 years ago to Mr. A. P. Stuckey, and for the remainder of his life resided in Sydney. His wife died this year. Deceased was in the big '52 flood which wiped out old Gundagai. He was rescued from the roof of a house by Yarrie, the blackfellow, and just as he got into the rescuing canoe the flood waters swept the house away. On the Bendigo diggings Mr. Hargreaves was known as "the handy man"—he could build almost anything, fix machinery and do all sorts of mechanical work. The late Mr. Hargreaves was a thorough and successful farmer. In the early days he would thresh his own wheat, drive it to Campbelltown to be milled and bring back a load of merchandise. Personally, he was a fine type of Australian, broad in his views, generous to a fault, and always a gentleman. The funeral took place at the Field of Mars cemetery on Tuesday last. |
