Note 7: Australia Death Index, 1787-1985 about Thos Gilbert Baluntine Name: Thos Gilbert Baluntine (corrected to Ballintine) Death Place: Benalla, Victoria Age: 72 Father's Name: Thomas Ballintine Mother's name: Elizth Kinear Registration Year: 1929 Registration Place: Victoria Registration Number: 8145 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1857 Kilmore Free Pree (Kilmore) 15 Aug 1929 Obituary. On Friday evening, July 26, one of the oldest and most highly esteemed residents of the district, Mr Thomas Gilbert Ballintyne, passed away at his residence, Summerlea, Upotipotpon. Up to a little more than a fortnight before he was busy as usual with his sons in the work of the farm, but it soon became apparent that a heart illness with which he was seized was not likely to yield to treatment and he passed peacefully away. Mr Ballintine, who was in his 73rd year, and born at Kilmore, had resided in Upotiputpon for 63 years. When a child of nine years with his parents be travelled by wagon from Kilmore and in later years acquired portion of the Upotipotpon estate, and subsequently became one of the most successful farmers in the district. Like his father before him he also conducted a chaff- cutting and threshing plant and travelled through most of the north-east. His sterling qualities and kindly disposition made friends for him wherever he went and he was known far and wide as a white man in every sense. Thirty seven years age he married Miss McKerchar, of Bylands, the widow and two sons (Thomas and Alexander) and two daughters ---Ellie and Jessie (Mrs Brown)--- surviving him. Mr Walter Ballintyne (Oasgrove) is a brother of deceased and Mrs. Crothers (Rushworth), Mrs Down (Koonoda), Mrs Thomson (Henty, N.S.W.), and Mrs Bain (Geelong West) are sisters. Another brother (James) and sister (Mrs G. W, Croxford) predeceased him. Mr T. G. Ballintine was a man of unassuming ways and unswerving integrity and in all his dealings his word was his bond. No man was happier in his home life than deceased and Summerlea was always a place where a true welcome to the stranger and the guest was ever extended---the district is poorer by his passing. The remains were interred in the Benalla cemetery on 28th ultimo, there being over 100 cars in the cortege. The coffin was borne to the grave by the deceased's two sons, his brother and nephew (G. Down), the pallbearers being Messrs G. McAlpin, F. Brown, G. Croxford, H. Bradley, J. McPherson and H. Down. A most impressive service was conducted at the graveside by Revs. F. Butchers and A. C. McConnan.

Note 8: Kilmore Free Press (Kilmore) 19 May 1937 ELLEN CHRISTINA BALLINTINE One of the most beloved members of the community passed away on Saturday last, in the person of Mrs. Ellen Christina Ballintine, who before coming to Benalla, spent many years at Upotipotpon. Death took place at the residence of her son-in law (Mr. F. B. P. Brown, Silverdale Road, Eaglemont), after a fairly long illness. The deceased was the youngest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. A. McKerchar, of Bylands, and was born there on 28th February, 1866. In September, 1892,, she was married to the late Mr. Gilbert T. Ballintine, who predeceased her by about eight years. From the time of her marriage, Mrs. Ballintine resided at the family home "Summerlea" Upotipotpon. More than two years ago, she, with daughter, Miss Ellie Ballintine, left Upotipotpon and in March last year, took up residence in Benalla. Shortly after, she became ill and this necessitated her removal to Melbourne, and she went to live with her son-in-law at Eaglemont. The deceased is survived by two sons, Thomas Alexander and Alexander William, and two daughters, Miss Ellie (Benalla), and Jessie (Mrs. F. B. Brown, Eaglemont). The great esteem in which the deceased was held was also made manifest by the large assemblage at the graveside in the Benalla cemetery on Sunday afternoon. Approximately three hundred people were present including residents of almost every part of the Benalla district, and others from distant parts of the State. The service at the graveside was conducted by the Rey. R. P. Simons, and the funeral arrangements were made by Messrs. W. G. Apps & Son, Melbourne. The coffin-bearers were Messrs T. and A. Ballintine, W. Ballintine,. G. Down, A. Bain, G: Croxford, jnr., and the pall-bearers were Messrs J. and A. MacPherson, G. Croxford. snr., H. Bradley, F. Brown and R. Wines. Prior to the funeral, which left St. Andrews church, a short impressive service was conducted by the Rev. R P. Simons, Minister of the Church, and a very large congregation participated. In the course of the prayers, reference was made to the hospitality, kindliness, and charity of the deceased, who had been long associated with the activities of the church. The hymn "Abide With Me." was sung by the congregation and accompanied at the organ by Mr. C. Perrin, who also played "O Rest in the Lord." During the service, the pall covered casket rested in front of the Communion rail and around it numerous floral tributes were placed, and later conveyed to the grave.--"Benalla Standard"',
