Death of Mr. J. H. Brunker. Mr. James Henry Brunker, the well known northern auctioneer, passed away in the Newcastle Hospital on Monday night. He had been in bad health for about three months, and had only returned a few days ago when a relapse necessitated his re moval to the hospital. The deceased was a son of the late Hon. J. N. Brunker, M.P., and a native of East Maitland, 60 years of age. Until about three years ago he was one of the most active and popular residents of Maitand. Edu cated at Newington College, he quali fied for the civil service, but three years' experience in the Government Stamps office made him tired to depart mental work, and he returned to Mait land, to enter the services of Messrs. Brunker and Sparke, auctioneers, etc.. He followed his father into the firm of Brunker. Wolfe, and Badgery. and Brunker and Wolfe, and in 1895 joined his father in the firm of Messrs. J. N. Brunker and Son, which he man- aged up to his departure from Mait- land in 1913. He was the founder of the Farmers' Union sales, which have developed, into the largest pro- duce sales of the State, and in recog nition of his services to them the farmers presented him with an illu- minated address and a valuable presen- tation. He was a licensed auctioneer; for 40 years, and was regarded as one of the best salesmen in the State. One of his most important sales was that of the town allotments of Kurri Kurri, when he sold the famous hotel allot ments tor £1000. The buyer failed to get the license, and paid the £250 forfeit. He took an active part in Parliamentary elections, being one of the principal supporters of the late Mr. John Gillies for many years. He refused to be drawn into the political field himself, although requested to do so on several occasions. He was for two terms an alderman of West Mait land, entering the council on each oc casion at the head of the poll against strong men. He took a keen interest in all .sport; and was president of the old Pearl Cricket Club and of the Hun ter Rugby Union, and patron of the Hunter Rugbv League. He was a supporter of the Hunter Cricket Asso ciation, Maitland Water Brigade, and Volunteer Fire Brigade. He also held office on the hospital commiitee. and on every committee established for pro gress in West Maitland. He was fear less in the expression of his views, but was generous to a fault, and com manded the respect of all with whom he was associated. He is survived by his wife and family of three sons and five daughters, the children being Privates James and Arthur Brunker. who are with the Australian Forces, Mr. Keith Brunker (on the staff at Victoria Barracks), and .Mesdames Bloomfield and .M'Culloch. Misses Bes sie, Joyce, and Zita Brunker. He has three brothers and. one sister — Messrs. George (manager of the East .Maitland branch of the Government Savings Bank), Arthur (of the Customs Depart ment, Sydney), and Ernest Brunker (West- Maitland), and Mrs. Sherbon, wife of Major Sherbon. of Victoria Barracks. |
