Death of a maternal grandfather | Charles Davis 17 October 1903 (aged 0) Age: 55 Fatal Accident. Word came to hand yesterday of a fatal accident which occurred at Rylstone, the victim being Mr. Charles Davis, the well-known grazier, of ‘Tryallion,’ Bylong. From the rather meager particulars we are possessed of, it appears the unfortunate gentleman was on his way home from Rylstone and had just reached the outskirts of the town, when the saddle by some means slipped round on the horse he was riding, and he was thrown violently to the ground, the impact dislocating his neck. The deceased leaves a wife and family of seven — two sons and five daughters. He was a brother of Mr. John Davis, of ‘Ginghi,’ Bylong, and half-brother to Mr. T. Harris, ‘Holbrook,’ Widdin, Mrs. J. Lloyd, Coomber, Mrs. J. Bisley, Pinnacle Swamp, Mrs. G. W. Hardwick, Rylstone, Mrs. A. Dunn, Rylstone, and has a host of other relatives throughout the district, in which he was highly esteemed. His genial figure was known to many in Mudgee, and we join with them in conveying our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family. Mudgee Guardian, Monday 19 October 1903, p. 2. Fatal Accident Charles Davis MR CHARLES DAVIS, OF TRYALLION, THROWN FROM HIS HORSE RYLSTONE, Saturday. Mr. Charles Davis, a well-known grazier and the owner of Tryallion Station, Rylstone, whilst leaving town this afternoon was thrown from his horse and killed. Mr. Davis had just returned from the Goulburn side, where, it is understood, he purchased a large lot of cattle. Sydney Morning Herald, Monday 19 October 1903, p. 7. Death Charles Davis DEATH OF MR. CHARLES DAVIS. RYLSTONE, Monday. A magisterial inquiry was held on Saturday evening into the cause of the death of Mr. Charles Davis, of Tryallion, who was thrown from his horse on Saturday afternoon. A verdict of accidental death was returned. Sydney Morning Herald, Tuesday 20 October 1903, p. 5. Inquiry into death, Charles Davis RYLSTONE NEWS. (From our Correspondent.) The remains of the late Mr. Charles Davis were interred at Bylong on Monday, amidst a large assemblage of friends and relatives, the cortege having left Rylstone early on that day. Rylstone was shocked last Saturday when the death of Mr. Charles Davis, of Bylong, was reported in town. The news could hardly be accepted as reliable at first, for only a short time before his death the deceased man had been in town, and had left in company with Mr. Cyril Caldwell, school teacher at Narrango, for his home at ByIong. It appears that upon coming to the river crossing on the road to Bylong, near the town, Mr. Davis' hat fell off into the river, and caused the animal to take fright and bolt, the rider becoming unseated and in the fall sustaining fatal injuries. It is a sad end, indeed, to one who has become so thoroughly identical with this district, and to the suffering relatives and friends I extend my heartfelt sympathy in the sad affliction that has come so suddenly and cruelly upon them. Mudgee Guardian,Thursday 22 October 1903, p. 14. Death Charles Davis COUNTRY NEWS. (From Our Own Correspondents.) RYLSTONE, October 26. It is with deep regret that I have to report the death of Mr. Charles Davis, senr., of Tryallian station, Bylong, which took place on Saturday, the 17th October. The deceased gentleman had only returned from Goulburn on the morning of the 17th, where he had purchased a large number of store cattle, and had started to ride home to Tryallian from Rylstone and when about half a mile from town his horse bolted, and dashed the unfortunate man against the fence, death being instantaneous. The funeral took place on Monday last at Bylong. The service was conducted by the Rev. H. H. Vale, of Rylstone. There was a very large attendance to show respect to the deceased gentleman. The principal mourners were deceased's wife, five daughters, and two sons, and Mr. John Davis, of Ginghi station, ber of deceased. Sydney Stock and Station Journal, Friday 30 October 1903, p. 2.
