Note 1: The Independent (Benalla) 26 Jan 1917 Case of Suicide. The Deputy Coroner, Mr Geo. Walker, J.P.. held a magisterial Inquisition on Tuesday into the circumstances surrounding the death of James Ballantine, of Upotipotpon, on 22nd January, from gunshot wounds in the head. The following evidence was given: Thomas Gilbert Ballintine deposed : Deceased was my brother and resided at Upotipotpon. Last saw him alive about 11am. on the 22nd inst. He was at his residence and I was talking to him. He then appeared to be in his usual state of health and was not complaining. He made enquiries about the funeral of George O'Brien, of Goorambat. I told him and we talked about various matters. He was anxious about O'Brien, be cause he had known him for years. Left him then, and had not noticed anything unusual. At about 1 p.m. the same day, when I was returning from the funeral at Goorambat. I saw a man lying in Mr H. Wilson's paddock, a few chains from the road. I went over to it and recognised the body to be that of my brother James. Saw a gun lying by his side with the muzzle point ing towards him. His hand was all shattered and appeared to be quite recently done and was bleed ing. Then went to a neighbour, Mr H. Wilson, and we got a buggy rug and placed over him. Went at once to Benalla and informed the police.

Note 2: 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.
