Note: PASTORALIST COMMIT SUICIDE.

PASTORALIST COMMIT SUICIDE. Mr. Samuel Pickett, a well-known pastoralist, residing at Long Gully, about 14 miles from Rylstone, is reported to have committed suicide. Deceased, who was 76 years of age, had been suffering from ill health for the past four or five years, and had recently been much worried with fear that his stock would perish during the coming winter. He took a dose of strychnine, and refused any emetic. He had spent the greater part of his life in the district, and had reared a family of twelve, all of whom, with their mother, survive him. (Sunday Times, Sunday 20 April 1902, p. 8).

LATEST NEWS BY WIRE. [Press Telegraph Association.] SYDNEY A SAD SUICIDE. Samuel Pickett, senr., aged 76, residing at Long Gully, near Rylstone, committed suicide by taking a dose of strychnine from a bottle kept in the house for poisoning dogs. He lingered several hours. Though evidently he underwent great agony, he resolutely refused to take an emetic. He had been in ill health for four or five years past; this, added to the fear that he would lose all his stock for want of feed during the coming winter, brought about a feeling of despondency. (Maitland Daily Mercury, Tuesday 15 April 1902, p. 3)

Note: AN OLD RESIDENT OF LUE.

AN OLD RESIDENT OF LUE. POISONS HIMSELF WITH STRYCHNINE. DEPRESSED BY DROUGHT. (from our Correspondent). On Saturday morning, the 12th instant, between 9 and 10 o'clock, Mr. Samuel Pickett, farmer of Long Gully near Lue, informed his wife and son that he had taken poison, but his statement was at first not believed. Some two hours afterwards symptoms of strychnine poisoning showed them-selves, Mr. Pickett having a fit, followed by another an hour and a half later, in which he died. Deceased, who was in his 77th year, was a native England, and had been residing at Long Gully for forty years, where he made a comfortable home for himself. Mr. Pickett reared a large family of sons and daughters, all of whom are married. During the past few years Mr. Pickett suffered from bad health, especially so for the last six months, and was often heard to say that he wished he was dead, as he was only a trouble to himself and those members of his family near him, but he was never heard to threaten to take his own life. The desolation of the drought had recently worried the deceased, who became much depressed as it became more and more evident that many of his stock would perish. A bottle with a small quantity of strychnine in it was kept on a shelf in the kitchen, for the purpose of poisoning dogs, and deceased must have taken this into his bedroom the night before he took the fatal dose, as he did not leave his room on Saturday until about half-past nine in the morning, when he made the statement of having taken the poison. A cup of tea had been taken to deceased by his wife early in the morning, and appearances indicated that he poured a portion of the tea into the strychnine bottle, stirred the contents and then drank it. Deceased was much respected in the locality in which he so long resided, and very general sympathy is expressed for the members of his family, many of whom occupy good positions in the district. An inquest held at Long Gully on Tuesday, before Wm. Taylor, J.P., Coroner, and a jury of five, when a verdict was returned, of death by strychnine poisoning self administered. The re-mains were interred at Lue. (Mudgee Guardian and North Western Representative Thursday 17 April 1902, p. 11)

Note: Anthrax.

Anthrax. Death of a Young Man. At about 3.30 on Monday morning, 15th instant, in the Gulgong Hospital, a very sad death occurred, when Vincent Henry, only son of Mr. and Mrs. S. Pickett, "Autumn Hill,'' Turill, passed away, after a short but severe illness. A few months back the deceased made up his mind to learn shearing, and with that end in view, set out from home full of happy youth, with only one end in view - to add a little more luxury to that home he intended making, and in every way make matters more comfortable for the wife he had chosen. But God willed otherwise. He had finished up and promised his old parents to stay near them in future. Many friends he had and they all loved him. A better and more loving son could not be found, and no sister ever had a more devoted ber. Only three months off his 21st birthday, he was cut off from all he loved. Never once through his illness did he complain. For days before he knew that his days were numbered, yet cheerfully he held up. His father and sister Phyllis were at his bedside continually. The cause of death was anthrax, caused by the blood of a diseased sheep getting in some boils on his wrist. Throughout his illness, prior to being taken to the hospital by Dr. Lees, of Gulgong, in his motor car, his mother nursed and cared for him, helped always by the faithful father. A devoted church goer, deceased had won the loving esteem of both pastor and people. He was an exemplary character of manhood for any community. The deceased leaves a father and mother, and nine sisters to mourn. May God in his mercy lighten their sorrow. Following are the sisters: - Mrs. E. Bayliss (Coonamble), Mrs. H. Smede and A. Byfield (Turill), Mrs. L. G. Imber (Mudgee South), Mrs. L. Cooper (Appletree Flat), and the Misses Phyllis, Daisy, Mima and Gwen Pickett. Miss Lily Dray (the bride elect), of Leadville, was present at the funeral, accompanied by her father. She motored over to Mudgee on Tuesday morning. The remains were interred in the Church of England portion of the general cemetery. The Rev. Canon Dunstan officiated at the graveside. Mudgee Guardian, Thursday 18 November 1915, p. 21.

FAREWELL AT LUE. A number of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Pickett, of Drummer Hill [Summer Hill?], Lue, assembled at their residence one night last week for the purpose of making them a presentation on the eve of their departure from the district.

They had resided at Drummer Hill for nearly 40 years, but recently disposed of their holding to Mr. J. Batten.
