Personal Notes:
The Tumut and Adelong Times 10 Jul 1914
Obituary When we announced the death, shortly after it occurred, of the well known and popular ancient identity of the district, Mrs. John Richards, we promised to refer in a future issue to some of the past history of the departed friend, and such has only just reached us. With her husband she came to the district in 1858, the latter being engaged with the late Robert Broughton on the Gilmore. Subsequently he followed farming pursuits on Tumut Plains, saving enough to select in 1866 an area of 200 acres which comprised part of the holding now held by his son, Charles, on Windowie Creek. By dint of perseverance and careful husbandry, he was afterwards able to acquire by purchase other holdings, bringing the aggregate area up to 700 acres. Some 12 months ago Mrs. Richards fell into failing health, in fact became so enfeebled that she required constant nursing, which was afforded by her four daughters and her daughter-in-law, who exerted their utmost ability to give her comfort in her ebbing life. She had attained the advanced age of 83½ years when the vital spark left its mundane tenement. There are left to mourn the loss of a life's true helpmate, and a devoted mother, whose main objects here were the welfare of her husband and the care and improvement of the conditions of her children, those who survive her besides her husband viz: Mr. C. Richards (Windowie), Mrs. S. Farthing (North Shore, Sydney), Mrs. T. Warburton (Paddington), Miss Emily (Windowie), Mr. Alfred Richards (Kurrajong Heights), and Mrs. P. Webber (Batlow). Mrs. Ward (Young) and another daughter predeceased her. The funeral took place on June 25, the remains being interred in the C.E. portion of the Tumut Cemetery, Rev. C. E. Burgess officiating at the graveside, and Mr. Jas. Ephick conducting the funeral arrangements.

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.
  1. My family tree. The original project begun about 1998. ID numbers less than about 6,000
  2. Canberra and Queanbeyan Pioneers. The next 30,000 begun about 2004. Sourced almost entirely from HAGSOC's excellent 'Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan'. The project began when I decided to add siblings, spouses and parents for a relation with an entry in the Register. 12 years work.
  3. Wagga Pioneers. I moved to Wagga and thought I would extend the Queanbeyan project by adding people from Wagga Wagga & District Family History Society's 'Pioneers of Wagga Wagga and District'. About 10,300 people added over about a year.
  4. Tumut Valley Pioneers. During the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, I decided to extend the above projects by adding pioneers of the Tumut Valley. Initial sources were Snowden's 'Pioneers of the Tumut Valley' and 'Relict of ... Lives of Pioneering Women of Tumut and District'. Excellent references published by Tumut Family History Group. I've also added material from newspapers of the time - especially, death records, obituaries and weddings from 'Tumut and Adelong Times'. This project is in its early stage and might take a few years. I plan to extend to the upper Monaro (Adaminaby, Kiandra, Cooma, Jindabyne).
I upload new information to this website about every 3 months. My motivation for these projects is to provide public information for people seeking to trace ancestors and what became of them. Much of the information I provide can be difficult to find.
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.
