| Event | House destroyed by fire January 13, 1930 (Age 65)Note: Disastrous Fire RESIDENCE COMPLETELY DESTROYED. ORIGIN A MYSTERY. A big blaze occurred in Mudgee this morning, as a result of which 'Pyangle,' a twelve-roomed weatherboard residence in Lewis street, and all the contents were completely destroyed. The house was the property of Mr J. F. Smede, and was used by his daughter, Mrs J. King, as a boarding house. About 1 o'clock this morning Mrs Potter, a daughter of Mrs King, was awakened by a noise, and upon making investigation she discovered flames issuing from the dining room. The alarm was at once given, and with the aid of the borders Mr Smede, who is in a rather feeble state of health, was rescued from the burning building. The brigade, under Captain Kelly, was on the scene as quickly as possible, but the fire had secured such a strong hold that all efforts to save the building were ineffective. Practically all the contents went up in smoke and the damage was very considerable. Mrs King was absent from home at the time of the fire. The building was Insured with Union Insurance Co. for which Mr. J. J. Stapleton is local agent, for £750, while the furniture was covered for £600 by the same company (Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative, Monday 13 January 1930, page 7). |
| Death of a father | Frederick John Smede January 22, 1930 (Age 65) Note: Obituary JAMES FREDERICK SMEDE Mr. James Frederick Smede, one of the pioneers of the Mudgee dis-trict, died in the local hospital on Tuesday night, aged 90 years. Deceased arrived at Lue over 70 years ago, and for a considerable period was sheep overseer for the late Mr. W. V. Dowling. Later he acquired a nice grazing property near Lue, from which he retired some years ago, coming to reside in Mudgee. It is considered that the shock he received when fire destroyed the residence of his daughter (Mrs. King) a week or so ago hastened his end, as he was only rescued with some difficulty from the burning building. His wife predeceased him by several years. The following daughters are left to mourn:- Mesdames J. King, H. Rope, W. Kurtz, and Miss May Smede (all of Mudgee), Mrs. F. Williams (Sydney), Mrs. A. Ander-son (Sydney), Mrs. D. Clarke (Sydney), and Mrs. A. Keech (Rylstone). The body was taken to St. John's Church of England where a service was conducted by the Rev. Canon Parr, who afterwards officiated at the graveside. Mr. J. C. Swords conducted the funeral arrangements (Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative, Friday 24 January 1930, page 8). |
