Personal Notes: |
The Tumut and Adelong Times 29 Mar 1927
MR. JOHN ("JUMBO") McALISTER The death occurred at St. Vincent's Hospice for the Dying last Tuesday of Mr. John ("Jumbo") McAlister, eldest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McAlister, his mother having predeceased him by only six weeks. A few months ago deceased underwent a serious operation at the Coast Hospital for an internal stomach trouble, and it was then found that the possibilities of a permanent cure was hopeless. Deceased was a native of Gundagai and was in his 55th year: Thirty years ago "Jumbo," as he was familiarly called, was a prominent Rugby Union footballer ; he was the "Sandy Pearce of the south" — a great "hook" and a prolific scorer from the ruck near the line, while his endurance and even temper in hard games made him one of the most remarkable and popular figures in the sport of his day. He was a man of many parts, being able to turn his hand to almost any class of work, his services being regularly availed of in important works by the late Mr. J. M. Dodd. But his chief hobby was his lure for gold, and he had extensively prospected in this and other gold-bearing districts without any marked success for his work and enterprise. After removing to Sydney with his family he was employed in timber yards there for many years. With his two brothers, Tom and Dave, deceased "did his bit" in the Great War of 1914-19. Deceased married Miss Edie Moore, and is survived by his widow, a married daughter (Kitty) and two sons (Stan and Tom), the two latter for some time being prominent members of the East Sydney A.A.C. Messrs. Duncan, Hughie and Col. McAlister are brothers, and Mrs. John Bevan and Mrs. A. Vaughan sisters. |

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.
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 I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770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. g.bell@bigpond.net.au When you click the mail address abouve, if it does not open your email app, copy the address on the screen.
