Notes: James Kirwan was a convict who arrived in the colony aboard the ship "Boyne".
--------------------------------------
James moved to the Monaro district in 1836 and worked as a hawker. He apparantly did very well in this business because he was able to accumulate a little cash and establish a small inn on the side of Cooma Back Creek. Perkins of Perkins Paper fame states that Kirwan "opened at the Junction of Cooma and Back Creeks , the first place of accomodation in the district which became known as Kirwan's Inn. This building was of rubble stone." The position of the Inn was a good one. The old track from the Sydney Road led along the southern bank of Cooma Creek, between the present gaol and Nijong Oval to Kirwan's Inn. From here the track led out to Coolringdon and Kiandra. (Old Kiandra Road and the Stock Route). Another track led toward Mittagang, and the third track led to Lambie's administrative centre.
Kirwan's Inn became very popular with the workers on the nearby runs. Everything happened between Kirwan's Inn and the Commissioner's office. It has been said that Lambie's selection of a site for his home and office probably influenced Kirwan in the site chosen for Kirwan's Inn, and eventually the site of the town of Cooma.
In 1845 when Bishop Broughton, Lord Bishop of Australia and India, visited the Monaro, he stated of Kirwan's Inn:- "The Inn at which we concluded our day's Journey is a large well built brick house, furnished with such accomodation as there could have been little expectation of meeting with in this remote situation."
By March 1854 Joseph Ward , who had earlier been in partnership with Kirwan, and whose sister married James Kirwan, took over Kirwan's Inn after James' death.
James was killed after he had gone downstairs to investigate an argument which had developed between his groom, a doctor and another man and a scuffle broke out between James Kirwan and John McSpadden, the groom, and it is said that James Kirwan was accidently shot. John McSpadden maintained that the shooting was an accident and apparantly James Kirwan's wife Elizabeth did not blame him either because in her will she states "I direct that any fair or reasonable claim for wages that may be presented after my death to my Executors by John McSpadden, formerly a servant in the employment of my late husband, shall be by them as promptly liquidated as may be..".
At this time Joseph Ward was also the licencee of the Grazier's Inn in Sharp St., Cooma.

OBITUARY
Mr. James Thompson
(From our own Correspondent)
I am sorry to have to record the death of one of Monaro's oldest pioneers, in the person of Mr. James Thompson, J.P.. of Cobbin Station, near Jindabyne, who breathed his last on Tuesday 15th instant (on the eve of the 62nd anniversary of his marriage).
Deceased was born on the sea during his parents voyage from England to New South Wales in September, 1823, and when but a lad was engaged in droving fat cattle from Monaro to Sydney for a Mr. Neale, father of the late Mr. John Neale, M.L.C.
In 1842 he settled on Monaro as manager for Mr. Neale, and three years later he married Margaret Kearns (sister of the late Mr. W. Kearns, of Adaminaby, and niece of the late Joseph Ward.
At that time churches were not thought of in Cooma and the ceremony took place at the residence of the late Mr. Kirwan in Lambie Street, Cooma. The late Father Kavanagh making a special visit to the district to perform the ceremony. A few years later Mr. Thompson rented Middlingbank Station and started on his own account and 55 years ago he bought Cobbin station, where he resided up till the time of his death.
No man was better known on Monaro 25 years ago, and there was no one more welcome at public gatherings, Mr. Thompson being of cheerful and jovial disposition and possessed a fund of ready wit.
Deceased was an ardent sport, and in those days would be present at almost every race meeting on Monaro his colours being often carried to victory by such horses as Jimboy, Starfish, King Tom, Goldfish, and others all of which are well remembered by old hands.
Mr. Thompson was always a straight-goer, who won for the honor of it, and the public were sure of a run for their money whenever his horses weighed out for a race.
Deceased was kind hearted and generous to a fault, and no traveller was ever allowed to pass his door hungry. It was he and the likes of him who made Monaro proverbial for its hospitality, he being one of the type who are unfortunately fast dying out, and whose places seem never to be filled.
Deceased must have been one of the oldest Justices of the Peace in the district, his appointment dating back 40 Years.
Mrs. Thompson survives her husband, and there are two sons and three daughters also living, the daughters being Mrs. W. Shiels (Dalgety), Mrs. C. O'Rourk (Jindabyne) and Mrs. C Pendergast (Omeo). There are four daughters deceased, viz., Mrs. W. Pendergast (Omeo) Mrs James Barry and Mrs Thomas Barry (Moonbah) and Miss I. Thompson.
There are over 60 grandchildren besides a large number of great and great great grandchildren.
Archibishop Kelley, on his visit to Moonbah a short time since, visited the old gentleman, and administered the last rites of the church to him.
The writer had the privilege of being a personal friend of the deceased for 40 years, and can sincerely sympathise with his family in their loss for a kinder husband and father never drew breath.
The remains were interred in the Moonbah R.C Cemetery on Thursday and the funeral was one of the largest ever seen here, people coming from Cooma, Berridale, and all the surrounding parts to pay their kast tribute of respect to one of Monaro's oldest whitest pioneers.

EULOGY TO ERNEST PATRICK PRIMMER:

Ernest Patrick Primmer passed away 7.10a.m. Friday August 05, 2005 at Figtree Private Hospital with his daughter Susan by his side, and was buried Tuesday August 09, 2005 at the Roman Catholic Cemetery, West Dapto, NSW.

Ernest Patrick Primmer was dearly loved and touched the hearts and minds of all in this room. We all have our own special memories of him across many different points in his life. Today, his grand daughters, Megan, Anna and Brittany have the honour of sharing some of the families memories with you all.
Ernest Patrick Primmer, who was later fondly named Stroppy Poppy by his grandchildren, was born on 18th March 1924 in what is now known as Keiraville. He was the second youngest of nine children.
He grew up in West Wollongong and was the apple of Auntie Essies eye. As a boy he spent much time riding his horses throughout the area and this passion continued throughout his life. He was a keen horseman and had an uncanny ability as a horse handler.
At the age of twenty, Pop was conscripted into the Army where he developed friendships that stayed with him for the rest of his life. Despite being involved in active service, we never heard him talk of it. He would only talk of his mates. He was the last surviving member of his group.
At the age of 22 whilst still in the Army, Pop met a very special young lady, Iris Wilson, more affectionately known as Tig, Mum and Nan. For the next 12 months he danced his way into her heart and they were married on the 25th January 1947. They had four children, Paddy - Kate - Stephen and Susie. And later seven Grandchildren, Megan - Shaun - Daniel - Anna - Brittany - Heath and James.
Over the years Pop made a habit of dragging Tig and the kids all over the countryside to follow his many jobs around. It wasn't uncommon for him to come home and say "Tig pack up the kids and the house because we're moving TOMORROW".
Poppy was not particularly well known for his patience, as we recall a time when he took his family camping at Lake Conjola. He spent hours setting up the camp site in a nice grassy area, only to find out a few days later when it rained that it was in fact a natural spring. The tent was promptly sold, children still in it, and the proud new owner was left to take the bloody thing down.
This was the first and last camping trip, yet Lake Conjola remained the family holiday destination for years to come. He taught all of the children to ski, despite the fact he could not swim. He was known for having the fastest boat, and if challenged, he came back the next weekend with a faster one.
Poppy Primmer was one of a kind. He was a strong and caring man who would welcome everyone into his home - family, friends and strangers alike. It was not uncommon for his children to come home from school to find a strange new person in their home. He was the only person I know who could walk into a room knowing no-one and walk out just a few hours later knowing the life story of all he had just met.
His outgoing personality and love of people allowed him to be a great salesman. He was a great talker, and could sell Ice to Eskimo's. Some of the most memorable car days were while he had the Car Yard at Broadway.
These were some of the more prosperous days and Pop being the generous man that he was, shared this with his family and friends. It was a time where they all enjoyed many dinners, holidays and outings together. The Bourbon and Beefsteak in Kings Cross became a regular brunch venue for the family on Sundays. This time of his life holds many fond memories for all of those close to him.
He cherished his cars and driving, the faster the better. He had more cars than anyone could ever possibly remember, but who will ever forget his most prized possession - that hotted up Red Sandman he bought in his fifties? His love for cars stayed with him right till the end.
In his late 50's he and Nan contemplated buying a pub with their family. Pop took Nan to have a look at a pub and un-be-knowns to Nan, he went straight back and bought that pub. He then went home and said, "Just wanted to let you know Tig, I bought a pub today"
That was the start of the days at Sutton Forest. Pop's charismatic personality made him the typical 'mine-host'. Fortunately he had the gift of the gab and could charm his customers, because he couldn't pull a beer to save his life. He always kept one customer very happy, the one he was talking to, while all the rest waited for their beers.
Pop was a very strong minded man and he believed that everyone was always entitled to HIS opinion.
He never left a thought unsaid (but perhaps he should have). A great example of this was one Fathers Day at Berry. He went to pick up the bread buns that he had orderd from the local bakery. When he got there the lady gave him his buns. He responded with "what the bloody hell are these, they aren't buns they are rolls. How am I supposed to put a sausage on that?' The lady politely explained that he had orders buns which are round and the long ones are rolls. I am sure it is no surprise to those who know him to hear that Poppy then went off his head telling the lady that he had been baking rolls and buns since before she was born and she had ruined his fathers day.
In true Stroppy Poppy style and still trying to prove his point, he walked into the shop next door, pointed at their bread rolls and asked "what would you call those?" The shop keeper calmly replied, "bread". With that Poppy walked out saying, "well if I wanted to speak to a smart ass, I would go home".
Despite one fathers day being close to ruins, the farm at Berry was a very special place for both Nan and Pop. It was the place where he enjoyed his greatest passions - family, horses, boats and cars.
Throughout his life, he worked hard to provide for his family and instilled high values, morals and manners into all of his children and grandchildren. He always took great pride in his appearance, known for his snazzy clothes, his hat and shiny shoes. We will all miss you dearly Pop, and this world is a better place for you having been a part of it. You may have physically left this earth, but you will be with us always, in our memories and our hearts.
HE WAS A TRUE AUSTRALIAN

When I am gone
Fear not to say my name
Nor speak of me in hush'd tones

As tho' it were a shame
for one to die

Let me figure in your daily talk
Speak of my loves and hates
Remembering the laughter
And the tears

This way, I'll be forever
In your memory
