| Personal Notes: |
| Obituary Reference. The following letter was received by us from Mr. J. Beale, sen., bearing on the death of that well-known and respected old identity, Mr. James Clifton, whoso death was notified in our issue of Thursday last — through late arrival of letter we were unable to get it into our journal of Tuesday last :— ''The Lawn, Tumut, January 24th, 1921. — Dear Mr. Groves, — In your issue of the 21st inst. I noticed the death of a dear old friend of mine, and one that I delved with in the teaming days. Reading the par brought a lot of memories to my recollection, and particularly one very remarkable incident. We had been travelling very hard, very heavily loaded, and made for a bit of grass which we knew of, as our horses were tired of the corn feed, &c., and hungry for grass ; so we camped early, as we thought, for the night, and to have a good rest. I was loaded with all grog for Levy Mandeleon, the well-known storekeeper of those days. I had on my waggon 10 bogheads of brandy — 5 of dark and 5 of pale brandy — besides other cases of grogs, and my old mate, Clifton, was loaded with all timber. All of a sudden up rode three fine looking men, armed to the teeth, and one who acted as principal said to me : "What have you got on the waggon, mate?" I said dark brandy and pale, 5 of each— dark on one side of the waggon, and pale on the other ; and it was good, too, not like what we get nowadays. He said to me "Draw a pint of that dark brandy." Certainly, I replied, and I got to work with the gimblet. They went away some two or three hundred yards, and in the course of an hour or so back the principal comes, with his empty pint pot, and said, "Give us a pot of that pale brandy." Of course I said again "Certainly," and I got to work, gave it to him, and off he went for the second time. In the course of an hour back he comes again with his pint-pot, and asked for a pint of the dark brandy, saying it was better than the other. I complied with his request, for my mate and I were scared, and I would have given them the whole waggon load for that mater. Anyhow, poor old Jim said to me, "I think we better get away from here as I don't like the look of those chaps; they are on for mischief." I quite agreed with him. so he went for the horses and we started out of camp at about 8 o'clock, and never pulled the harness off the horses until we got on this side of Gundagai, and camped at the old burying ground at South Gundagai. This happened at what they call "The Black Springs," on the other side of Money Money. There were people living at the Springs in those days by the name of Perry — some of the family may be alive now. Anyhow, we pulled over those Money Money ranges in the dead of night, and never heard tell of the bushrangers since. I could write a lot more historical incidents, but am not so good at the business now as in days gone by; but what I do relate is as true as gospel, which my old friend would have confirmed. We often talked over the happening years afterwards. I extend my deepest sympathy to the members of the Clifton family through your columns.— JOHNNIE BEALE. [Mr. Beale informs us that lhe is likely to be leaving the old town at end of this week, having prac- tically completed the arrangement of his affairs. We will miss his breezy contributions re olden days, also his cheery greetings to us whenever we have met the fine old citizen.] |

A pioneer carrier of the Tumut district, associated with the olden days of carriage per waggon team from Campbelltown to Tumut, passed away at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. H. W. Quarmby, Batlow, on Friday last, in the person of Mr. James Clifton. He was a dear old man, industrious to the last of his physical abilities, and only a few years ago was toiling in Tumut, independent of all those he might have been dependent upon. His age was 83 years. He followed the construction of the railway line right from Campbelltown to Cootamundra, and brought goods on to Tumut in the days when Mr. Jno. Beale sr and others were on the track with teams. Several of his children reside in these districts. The remains were buried in the Batlow Cemetery, Mr. Jas. Elphick carrying out the mortuary arrangements. (Error: he was buried in Tumut). https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/115931390 Gravesite Details Birth date is Christening date |
