The Tumut and Adelong Times 8 Jun 1937
OBITUARY MR. JOHN WILKINSON One of the hardiest of the hardy pioneers of Tumut district and a native born, in the person of Mr. John Wilkinson, of "Hillview," Yellowin, on Friday last went to that bourne whence no traveller returns, death taking place at the Wagga District Hospital, on the date of his 85th. birthday. Deceased had been a patient in the Tumut District Hospital for some weeks and there was operated on, but a second operation was deemed necessary and he was taken to Wagga Hospital, where it was duly performed. In his weakened state at his advanced years, he was showing hopeful signs toward's rallying, but on the fourth day the vital spark gave out. He was the eldest son of the late Thomas Wilkinson, who originally selected Yellowin. He was twice married, his first wife being Miss Bertha Lampe, daughter of Mr. Oltman Larmpe, owner of Talbingo Station, who was also the father of Messrs Gus, Theodore and Frederick and Miss Lena Lampe, so well known in these districts. To the union was born one son, Kenneth, of Cheviot Hills, Wagga. Some years after the death of his first wife he married Miss Beryl Blackett, the family being three sons (Ronald Cedric, Selwyn John and Frederick of Yellowin) and one daughter (Sister Vere L'Estrange Wilkinson, Bank N.S.W., Berkerley Square, London). Deceased selected alongside the home station and by dint of hard work and perseverance improved the land from the primeval forest into a comfortable grazing and agricultural holding. Throughout life he was a quiet, unassuming man, of strict integrity in all his dealings and an example of husbandman to those around him as well as his own sons. Despite his old age, he continued to till the soil long after the period when others have been resting from their life's arduous labors. Besides the bereaved widow and family, there are five brothers (William of Grafton, Henry G. of Yellowin, Alfred and Herbert O. L. of Tumut, Phillip of Yellowin and Sydney of Sydney) and two sisters (Mrs. Edward Bridle, of Tallong, and Mrs. Theo Lampe, of "Buddong," Peak Hill), one brother (Thomas, Stipendiary Magistrate, of Sydney) predeceasing him. The coffined corpse was brought to Tumut by Mr. J. C. McDonald, funeral direc tor, and remained in state in All Saints' Church. At 2.30 a short service was conducted by Rev. S. Broadfoot, the Rector, and after wards the large funeral cortege followed the hearse to the C. of E. portion of the New Cemetery, where the burial took place, the four sons with two nephews (Maurice and Darcy Wilkinson) being the pall bearers. |

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.
