Description: Accidentally Drowned
Death of the late James Hately I find that the deceased, on the 27th day. of August, 1946, at Coolalie, was accidentally drowned, through falling into a creek face downwards, after striking his head on a stone which caused a fracture of the skull. 
This was the finding of the Coroner, Mr. E. J. Hickey, at an inquest held at the Court House on Friday last, touching the death of James Austin Hately, whose dead body was found in a creek atCoolalie on August 28.
 Evidence was given by Alex. D. Hay, a station hand, employed by Mr. C. S. D. Hay, of "Cleveden," Coolalie, that on August 28, in crossing a bridge over a creek he saw the body of a man lying in the creek, face down in the water, and knees drawn up under the body. He appeared to be dead. Witness informed Mr. Hay, who rang up the police, while witness and John Hay went back to the scene, and lifted the man's face from the water. He then recognised the body as that of Jas. Hately. Near the place was a man's pipe, a sugar bag and a hat. He had often seen deceased crossing the creek on his way to his home. There was a bottle containing gin in the creek where the body was. Austin Davis, a nephew of deceased, said he identified the body as that of Jas.Hately, whom he had last seen alive on August 27, when he left home to go to Yass. Deceased was in good health and spirits. He was only a moderate drinker. It appeared to witness that deceased had crossed the creek and had been looking for something he had dropped, probably his pipe, when he must have stumbled and fell into the creek, striking his head on a pointed stone, apparently knocking himself unconscious. In answer to Sgt. Shipway, witness said there was blood on a sharp-pointed stone which he had noticed. Charles J. Weatherby, taxi driver, said he conveyed deceased from Yass on August 27 to Coolalie. He set Hately down at the gates of "Cleveden" and asked him if he would be all right. Deceased said he would. He could see that deceased was under the influence of drink, and staggered as he walked. Sgt. J. C. Smith described his visit to the scene of the drowning in company with the ambulance driver, and found the body of a man. From his observations he formed the opinion that the man had crossed the bridge, probably in the dark, and had dropped his pipe, and, after placing the meat on top of the bank, struck matches in his endeavour to find it, had stumbled on the rough stones, striking his head on the stone mentioned, and fallen into the creek. He saw no suspicious circumstances in the course of his enquiries. Dr. Peggy Anderson described the injuries on the deceased's forehead and in her opinion he died as a result of drowning while unconscious from the effects of a compound fracture of the skull. The Coroner returned the verdict recorded above.

Description: Very detailed

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A SHUNTER.
 AT about half-past one o'clock this morning at the Goulburn railway station a young man named Charles Joseph McConville was killed almost instantaneously whilst engaged shunting. Deceased and Head-shunter Linnegar were getting a goods train ready at the time. Deceased was sent to give the signal to the driver to bring the trucks together and then to couple them. After the lapse of about a minute Linnegar missed deceased, and upon running along the train he found him lying on the ground between the trucks. The driver and firemen were called, and deceased only breathed for a second after being pulled out. It is supposed that his foot got jammed between the rails at an intersection and that he was knocked down by the trucks and crushed to death by either the wheels or the buffers. It is hardly probable that the wheels could have passed right over the body, as the external injuries were very slight. There is little doubt but that the accident occurred through deceased's foot becoming jammed between the two rails. The boot was picked up close to the inter section, and bore the appearance of having been dragged off. Deceased was found four or five feet away between the rails. It is thought that after deceased had been knocked down the wheels might have pushed him along the surface of the rails and thus have caused the injuries without going right over him. Deceased had been in the service for many years, and was looked upon as a competent officer. He was well known and respected by his fellow employes, and the news of his untimely death was received with deep regret. He leaves a wife and a child only three months old. An inquest on the body was held at the Court house this morning, before the Coroner, Mr. H. O'Brien.
John McConville, night officer at Yass Junction, said he was a brother of deceased; deceased would have been 26 years in October next; he was born in Gunning; he was a married man and leaves a wife and young child; his wife's maiden name was Bridget Costello; he had left no property that witness was aware of; witness did not know whether his life was insured ; he was ashunter on the railway and had been in the service for about 14 years: he had always been a steady man; he had been shunting on and off for over seven years. William Nathaniel Linnegar, assistant guard, acting as head shunter at the Goulburn railway station, deposed that the deceased came on shunting at 6 o'clock on Wednesday evening and was under witness's instructions during the night; at 20 minutes past 1 o'clock he missed deceased for about a minute; just previous to this he had instructed deceased to bring all the trucks together, couple them up, and to pull out of the siding and back the train down to the box; deceased replied "All right, Will," and that was the last he heard deceased say; he heard deceased give the signal to the driver to come steadily on to the trucks, and witness ran down to see that the brakes were secure at the far end of .the train; when he got about 50 yards he called out, " Charlie, where are you ?" as he could not see the deceased's light; he got no reply, and he called out two or three times as loudly as he could call, and ran towards the driver with the red light; the trucks had stopped just then; running along he saw a dark object between the trucks, and turning the light on it he found it to be deceased; he was lying on his back with his head beneath' his right arm, which was lying across the rails; the body was lying between the rails; witness shouted for the driver, and they pulled the deceased out; he was just alive and that was all; it was not a busy night; the work was particularly light, and was really all done at the time of the accident; deceased had not been with witness more than 15 minutes; he had been up attending to the mail; deceased had only one boot on ; witness looked for the other but could not find it himself ; the accident occurred on the line leading into No. 2 point; another line crossed it near where the body was found; the lost boot was found about 12 yards from the body; he had seen the boot, and it was his opinion that deceased's foot must have caught in the V-shaped opening where the lines join; after deceased was struck the train had evidently gone the length of a truck ; deceased was well up in his work, and was a very good man. (This witness was greatly affected, and burst into tears whilst giving his evidence). To the foreman: Shunters come on at six and go off at 6 in the morning ; out of that they have two hours for meals ; deceased was performing the work of a junior shunter under witness's instructions at the time of the accident. Dr. Handcock deposed that he was called to attend deceased at about 25 minutes to 2 o'clock that morning ; the body was in the morgue when be got down ; he found that the deceased had a few supcerficial bruises and abrasions on the chest, blood on the face, and a slight injury to the outer side of the left foot : on further examination he found the deceased's ribs were broken on the same level on both sides, also the breast bone; such injuries could have been caused by a wheel passing over the body; death had been due to pressure on the heart and the organs of the chest ; the left arm was also broken on the same level' s the injuries to the ribs, which were directly over the heart ; on further examination that morning he found a line of discolouration extending across the abdomen parallel to the line of injury to the chest. To the foreman : It was witness's opinion that two wheels had passed over deceased, one across his chest and the other across his abdomen. William Westbrook McDougall, a locomotive engine-driver, said he was on the train in question at the time of the accident; witness's mate received a signal from deceased and directly afterwards a danger signal ; they had stopped the train before the danger signal was given ; he had just before asked his mate could he see a light or a signal, and when he answered that he could not he shut off steam and applied the brake; witness then heard Linnegar calling out for Charlie, and his mate said that a red light was being exhibited at the end of the train ; the red light came towards them, and then they heard Linnegar sing out that Charlie was killed ; witness and his mate got off the engine and went to where Linnegar was ; they saw deceased lying between the trucks ; he held the light while his mate and Linnegar pulled the deceased out ; he breathed twice and died ; a stretcher was procured and deceased was taken to the station ; the train was loaded with goods; there were no empty trucks; there were 15 in all. To the foreman : Witness did not get any signal from deceased, but his mate told witness that he had; he asked his mate could he see a light because he was in the habit of doing so ; a loaded truck should cut a body in two. To the coroner : Witness's mate had received a signal from deceased prior to his asking whether a light could be seen : the injuries might have been caused by the buffers. To Sergeant Matthews : Witness had seen the marks of deceased's boot between the crossing of the lines as if it had been jammed in the crossing; the boot was picked up about four yards from the body ; deceased went in to couple the trucks, and had evidently done so. Augustus Henry Flood, fireman, said he was on the train at the time of the accident; he received a signal from deceased to come ahead and ease the trucks together; while they were doing that de ceased was moving his light up and down to indi cate that the trucks were then very close together; they were going very slow; witness called to his mate that deceased had given the steady-up signal, and he shut off steam; deceased then passed out of sight, evidently between the trucks; witness's mate called out, " Do you see any signal ?" and witness replied, " No, Bill ;" they were then almost at a standstill; they.stopped the train altogether at once; at this timeLinnegar was coming along on the same side, but further down; he was singing out, " Where are you, Charlie?" and he also showed a red light; he came up some distance and called out to the driver, saying, " Mac, come here;" witness and his mate jumped off the train, and they went up to where deceased's body was lying between the trucks; witness helped to pull him out, and after wards deceased's body was taken to the morgue. 
To the Coroner: Witness was wrong in saying that they shut of steam before McDougall asked whether any lights or signals could be seen. To a juror: Witness believed that deceased coupled the trucks; he did not see him again after he disappeared between the trucks. The jury after visiting the spot brought in a verdict of accidental death, and that no blame was attachable to any person. It is not known whether deceased was insured, but it is stated that he joined an oddfellows' lodge about six months ago. The remains are to be taken to Gunning, where deceased's mother lives and where his father is buried.

Description: WEDDINGS McCONVILLE-LEE 
At St. Saviour's Cathedral on December 4 a wedding took place between Mr. T. J. McConville, son of the late Charles McConville, of Gunning, to Maud M. Lee, only daugh-ter of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Lee, of Clifford-street, Goulburn.
Archdeacon Ward performed the ceremony. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a frock of ivory french crepe de chine and silk lace, with an underdress of chantilly lace and a court train of white georgette lined with crepe de chine edged with silver and beautifully beaded. Her veil of embroidered tulle was worn with a headdress of silver lace and orange blossoms, and she carried a shower bouquet of white carnations, lilies, and asparagus fern. The bridesmaids were Miss Ruth Webb, of Newtown, Miss Almna Corby, of Chatswood, and Miss Mabel Fowl-er, of Goulburn. They were frocked alike in early Victorian frocks of pervenche blue taffeta with silver transparent hems and bandeaus of tulle. Their bouquets were (Miss Webb) bluehyderange, (Miss Corby) pink carnations and bebe roses, and (Miss Fowler) pink hyderange. Little Betty Yates acted as train-bearer. She wore dainty frilled georgette frock. The best man wasMr. R. F. Morey, of Sydney, and the groomsmen were Mr. M. Sainsbury, of Goulburn, and Mr. V. Carson, of Sydney. The bridegroom's present to the bride was a black travelling bag, to Misses Webb and Corby he gave onyx rings, and to Miss Fowler an armlet. To the trainbearer he gave a signet ring. The bride's present to the bride-groom was a gold Albert watch. The brides mother was dressed in a beautiful frock of black morocain with violet trimmings and black satin hat. She carried a posy of mauve flowers, and assisted by Mrs. Jack Sainsbury, received about 60 guests at the Druids' Hall, where the reception was held, Ven. Archdeacon Ward officiating . The breakfast room was beautifully decorated with blue and white streamers. The dance music was supplied by the A.L.H. Jazz orchestra. Great credit is due to Mrs. Fletcher for the very able manner in which she carried out the catering, and the tables which were tastefully decorated bore an abundance of good thinks. After the wedding the couple left for the South Coast where the honey moon will be spent. The bride travelled in navy morocain with touches of petunia with hat to tone. Their future home will be at Rose Bay.

Hi David

I was hoping if I contacted you my email might make the newsletter. I am in need of a bit of help from your members. 

I am after info on my Great uncle Cecil Phillips. He is one of the sons of Denis and Emily Frances (Perry/Adams) Phillips. I had met him when younger, visited him and his family in Bibbenluke. We even got a reunion up and happening for him and his older brothers, but of course my being young, I did not stay in contact. 

I have been doing the family tree and cant find him on the Monaro Pioneers page and wondered if anyone could share some details so this can be rectified. I wish I could give details to make sure he is in the family tree but all I have are some photos and his name, Cecil Phillips. 

Does anyone know him?

Thank you David.

The residents were truly sorry to learn of the death of Mr. John Ahearn of Oolong. His genial and warm-hearted nature made him many friends. The funeral was largely attended, -an evidence of the respect in which deceased was held.
Goulburn Evening Penny Post, Saturday 9 June 1923 page 4

Obit of his second wife, job explains the varied location of the births too:
MRS. M.J. AHEARN 
The death occurred on Sunday of last week of a very old and esteemed resident of the Gunning district in the person of Mrs, Mary Jane Ahearn. The deceased lady died at the residence of her daughter (Mrs. M.Thomas), of Pennant Hills, with whom she had resided since the death of her husband 20 years ago. She was the widow of Mr. John Ahearne, who passed away at Gunning in 1923, and she was predeceased by one son, Ken, whose death occurred 14 years ago. 
Mrs. Ahearn had resided with her husband in various parts of the State at which he was stationed in the railway service prior to coming to Oololng, where she spent approximately 30 years of her life. After the death of her husband she lived at Goulburn and Marulan before moving to Pennant hills (Sydney) were she had resided for the past eight years. She had attained the great age of 87 years, was quite active and possessed all her faculties to the end. She was remarkable for one of her years and could read, write and sew without the aid of glasses. Her memory was excellent and her early days reminiscences quite interesting. The "good old days" were not her only source of conversation, but she could also take part in all present day happenings and topics of the day. Her illness was brief. 
The remains were taken to Gunning on Monday morning for internment along side those of her husband and son. The interment took pace in the Church of England Cemetery, the last rites being performed by the Rev. K. Clements, rector of Gunning, and the funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr, CaIdwell, of Gunning. 
The daughters are May (Mr. M. Kennedy, Bungendore) Ena (Mrs. E Hartigan, Hornsby), Maggie, (Mrs M. Thomas, Pennant Hills, Jean (Mrs. J. Spence, Pennant Hills) and Kathleen (Mrs. K. Spratt, Arncliffe). Mr. Frank Ahearn (Rockdale) is a son. There are 15 grandchildren and two great grand children.

Hello Ian

I need to point our an error in the wives of there two cousins.

My first wife was descended from John Winter (as was Joseph Winter) hence my interest. Joseph James Winter is descended from John's brother William.

I was recently called on by the archeologists conducting a heritage assessment on the ruins of "Inglewood" homestead to identify the Joseph Winter family who built the home. I am in email contact with grandsons -- 3 Jones brothers from first marriage and a Winter from the second marriage.

I have discovered that the wrong placing of Elizabeth Emily Hall originates in "Biographical Register of Canberra and Queanbeyan". Maybe they copied from you OR you copied from them.  Anyway, it is wrong.

I have attached Family Group Sheets to clarify the situation. I have included the Monaro Pioneers reference numbers on the sheets so you can distinguish who is who.

DIED at her son's residence, Gundaroo, at five on Sunday morning from general break-up of the system accelerated by acute diarrhoea. The deceased had been ill for twelve days and had been attended by a doctor from Queanbeyan. She was a native of Ireland and with her mother came out to this colony in 1856 to reside with her brother, the late Mr. C. H. Walsh of Goulburn. In 1862 she married Mr. R. Clemenger clerk of petty sessions, Braidwood. They resided there for about fifteen years and were held in the highest esteem. Mr. Clemenger was subsequently appointed police magistrate at Araluen and died there in 1876. On deceased's son being appointed telegraph master at Gundaroo in 1892 she accompanied him and for a time attended to the post-office. Till advancing years caused her retirement she took an interest in the neighborhood in which she was living, and was highly respected. She leaves two sons, Mr. William R. Clemenger, post and telegraph master, Gundaroo, and Mr. Charles H. Clemenger of the Commercial Bank, Armidale. The remains were brought to Goulburn, and were interred in the Wesleyan cemetery beside those of her mother and brother on Monday afternoon. The Rev. S. G. Best officiated at the grave.

http://monaropioneers.com/TNG/getperson.php?personID=I19053&tree=MP

Description: THE LATE W. R. CLEMENGER 
Eighteen years ago the writer paid his first visit to Gundaroo with the old Gininderra cricket team and was introduced to a bright and genial soul, William Ralph Clemenger. He was the respected captain of Gundaroo, and we were in charge of the cheery and popular Arthur Flower. Both these gentlemen were close personal friends of mine until each was regretfully laid away in an early and honoured grave. Mr. Clemenger was born in Braidwood 53 years ago, and spent his boyhood there and on the Araluen goldfields, where his father was C.P.S. and Police Magistrate. His education was finished in the private school of Mr. Belcher at Goulburn and Mr. Southee's well-known establishment at Mittagong. 
He then entered the office of a large shipping firm in Sydney, where he acquired a thorough knowledge of telegraphy. At 17 years of ago he joined the Postal Department and was sent to take charge of the office at Gundaroo. In his early days he was a crack three-quarter on the football field and represented the southern districts at Queanbeyan and Goulburn against Queensland and a crack English combination that paid a visit to the south nearly 30 years ago. He played first grade football with Balmain when only sixteen years of age. He was also a very fine all round cricketer, and for many years put up a stubborn resistance against the finest bowling talent in the southern districts. His connection with racing is well known. The most notable horses he bred were the Palmist and Warelva, in addition to Gundaroo, Chiromantist, Elvira's Daughter, and others. For many years his face was familiar on any racecourse of importance in the south. When Clem had the watch on a local celebrity and labelled it "some class" the Gundaroo sports planked their money down with a freedom that made the country folk stare. He was the soul of honour, on the turf, and if any shady transaction was unfolded in his presence the racecourse parasite melted away from a look of scorn with humiliation pourtrayed on his degraded countenance. 
For 36 years he acted as adviser to almost every family within miles of Gundaroo, and few people, whether rich or poor, can conscientiously deny receiving numerous favours from our ill-fated and popular old friend. Years ago he met the well-known Australian poet, John Farrell, on one of his week-end visits to Queanbeyan, and a mutual friendship sprang up. Farrell advised him strongly to adopt a literary career, but Gundaroo claimed him, and a bright life was thrown away in a dreary office in a one-horse country town. He had many mementoes of Farrell, and corresponded with him regularly till the poet passed away into that dark world he sang so sweetly about. Mr. Clemenger was an honourable, careful, and methodical businessman. For 36 years his inspectors failed to find a mistake or clerical error in his balance-sheet, and for nearly as many years he was an ideal secretary to the trustees of the Gundaroo Common and the local branch of the Manchester Unity. He had been actively identified with every public movement in the town and district for 30 odd years. He was one of the founders of the Gundaroo Race,Fooball, and Cricket Clubs, and held responsible honourary positions in each till the world war put a temporary check on all branches of sport. As the founder and trustee of the public library he deserves the everlasting gratitude of a large section of our little community. He took an active interest in politics, and was a keen and clever debater. When warmed up he was a fluent speaker, and was offered the solid support of the Labour Party to contest the Wagga or Queanbeyan electorates at a time when both these seats were secured by untried men on behalf of tleworkers of the State. The editor of the Queanbeyan Age offered to sink his views and support Clem should he decide to throw his castor into the political arena. He also had the commanding influence of the "Braidwood Review" behind him, and was backed up at the time by the most popular Mayor in the history of Braidwood, the late lamented and ill-starred Patrick Coffey. His fine voice was, however, failing, and he remained a slave in the little office till the end. The deceased had many tempting offers from tile Department to take charge of offices in important country centres as well as in the metropolitan area. The call of his adopted town, however, was too great, and he died a slave to duty, and a martyr to true religion, honesty, fidelity, truthfulness. When the winter of life casts grey shadows over our paths most of us will still cherish sweet re collections of happy days spent with our charitable and, kindly-dispositioned old townsman. When the soul of this cultured gentleman passed out the book of fate closed its pages on the saddest event in the history of Gundaroo. J. F. HEAZLETT.

I have been doing genealogy research for them on the Rolfe family which started its Australian heritage in the Canberra region.

I have discovered an error in many family trees including your Monaro Pioneers.

As you know there are two Michael Rolfes. Where the error comes in is that you have assigned the wrong wives to each of them. I think the best way to present this to you is via the two Family Group Sheets I have attached.

Description:  Gundaroo.
At her residence, "Everton," Gundaroo, on Sunday last, Mrs. Rosannah Lees, widow of the late Jacob Lees, passed over to the silent majority. The deceased lady had been ailing for many months and the end was not unexpected, and she passed away peacefully surrounded by every member of her family at the age of 82 years. 
Mrs. Lees leaves behind her a grown-up family of four sons and four daughters, Mrs. Coleman (Temora),   Mrs. Joseph Booth (Strathfield), Mrs. A. Marshall and Mrs. J. Reid of Back Creek (Gundaroo) ; and Messrs. Joseph, Jacob, Adam and Albert Lees, all of whom are settled in this district. 
The funeral took place in the Gundaroo Church of England Cemetery on Monday, and the large concourse of people which followed this grand old lady's remains to their last resting place was an excellent testimony of the very high esteem and respect in which she was held by her numerous friends with whom she had resided practically all her life. Rev. Ward, of Canberra, officiated at the graveside. 
The funeral arrangements were carried out by Messrs. Bowden and MacIntosh, undertakers, of Yass. The late Mrs. Lees was an example of charity and piety, always having a kind and cheerful disposition and will be sadly missed by her family. Heartfelt sympathy is extended to each member of the family who are left to mourn the loss of a fond and loving mother.

LATE ROBERT OLDFIELD.
Robert Oldfield, who died in Mudgee on Thursday last, aged 76
years, was one of the sturdy pioneers who helped materially in
the advancement of this district.
Born at Richmond, he came to Mudgee with his parents when quite young, and afterwards settled at Cudgegong, where he followed farming pursuits for about half a century. Like so many of the pioneers he dearly loved a political fight, and was always foremost in the fray when Free Traders and
Protectionists clashed. He espoused the former cause, and later followed his champions into the Liberal camp. A sport to the finger tips, one of his favorite pastimes was angling, and his big hands are still talked of where fishermen
congregate. 'Bob' as he was familiarly known to his many friends, first showed signs of failing health a couple of years ago, and althoughhe rallied at different periods the
ailment from which he suffered gradually sapped his strength, the end coming as stated. Deceased is survived by a sorrowing widow and the following sons and daughters: W. Oldfield (Ashfield), G. Oldfield (Mudgee), Mesdames S. C. Glasson (Sydney), E. C. Parker (Bankstown), and T. Rayner (Tunnabutta). The brothers and sisters
left to mourn are Messrs. J. C. Oldfield (Stony Pinch), D. H. Oldfield (Coonamble), Mesdames C.Perram and H. Milton (Cudgegong), J. Besant (Ilford), and J.Murray (Tabrabucca). To all the sorrowing ones we extend our deepest sympathy. The funeral took place to the Church of England portion of the Cudgegong cemetery, the last sad rites at the graveside being conducted by the Rev. W. V. Thomson, of Rylstone

Secondly,  There is a Son missing from the list of children of James and Jane.   James (Junior) was born c.1803.

From:

Susanne Clegg

Hi Ian,

I do apologise, Ian. 

William Thomas HAGGAR did die on 31 December 1921.

The 'Bombala Times' dated 6 January 1922 and I mistakenly put that date.

I realised my mistake on receiving your email.

The article was as follows:

          Mr William Thomas Haggar died in a Sydney Hospitalon Saturday last. 

          Mr and Mrs Haggar were driving into Bombala on December 9th, 

          to see the railway opening, when their horse took fright at a motor bicycle,

          and turned the trap over, throwing the occupants out.  Mr Haggar had 

          his thigh badly hurt, but treated it lightly and went home without seeing

          a Doctor.  The injury became worse, aand he was sent to Sydney for the 

          removal of his leg, but treatment came too late. The deceased was 49 years

          of age and leaves a widow, but no family.

In regards to the marriage of William Thomas HAGGAR and Millie Amelia WALKER, 

they were married on 25 July 1921 (BDM NSW  11577/1921). 

Unfortunately I don't have a copy of their wedding certificate.

Again I apologise for my mistake. Ill be sure to double check in future. Also thank you for allowing me to join Monaro Pioneers.

Thank you Susanne,

We had the wrong William Thomas (Thomas William) Haggar married to Minnie (Millie) Amelia Feltis and that error has now been rectified.  Thomas William Haggar died 31/12/1921 according to his headstone details in the Bombala Cemetery and his Memoriam inserted in the Bombala Times 5/1/1923 by his grieving wife.

We also have his marriage as 25/6/1921.  Do you have a certificate for the marriage showing 25/7/1921?

Regards, Ian

Description: Please note:

Zena V Walker born 1906 is actually Lena Valerie Walker (married Alfred Roy HAYES) and was my grandmother.

Lena was mistakenly registered as Zena due to the handwriting on her birth certificate (BMD NSW #11420/1906) I have her birth certificate and can see how the mistake was made.  My Nan always had a giggle about it.

Susanne
Thank you,

Can you please tell me the exact date of her birth and death?
