Deceased, who was born on the old estate, lived there practically all his life, and was held in the very highest esteem by a great many people throughout the district.

The dread complaint gradually sapped his strength, and for some time previous to the end he was unable to leave his bed. By Mr. Malvern's passing the Mudgee district has lost a fine, upright citizen, and the deepest regret will be expressed on all sides. The funeral, which took place to the Church of England portion of the Havilah cemetery, was largely attended, friends being present from far and near to pay their last sad tribute of respect. The Rev. L. Walker officiated at the graveside. To the sorrowing widow, two sons, and one daughter, the sympathy of the whole countryside will be extended.

Mainly about People MUDGEE DISTRICT PERSONALITIES THE sad news of the death of Mr. Harry Malvern was received in Mudgee with sincere expressions of regret. He was a fine type of citizen, and we could ill afford to lose him. Mudgee Guardian, Thursday 17 August 1939, p. 2. Obituary Henry Malvern

DEATH Mr. H. Malvern THE death occurred at Summer Hill in the early hours of Wednesday morning of Mr. Harry Malvern, aged 57 years. Deceased, who resided in the Mudgee district for the greater part of his life, was a fine type of citizen, and his passing will be deeply mourned in very many homes. He came of a pioneer Havilah family, and his early days were spent in that locality. At a later period he was engaged as a gardener in other centres, but eventually returned to take charge of the beautiful gardens at the old home of the Whites. In 1926, from many applicants, he was selected as head gardener by the Mudgee Council, and soon Robertson park was transformed into a spot of rare beauty. He had an all-embracing knowledge of flowers, and, what was more, he loved his garden, and counted the time well spent in caring for his floral gems. He also supervised the layout of Lawson Park and railway gardens, and did the work with his usual thoroughness. Flower-lovers found in him a mine of information, and his advice on cultivation methods was given freely, with the result that Mudgee soon became a town noted for its gardens. In real truth, we are under a deep debt of gratitude to the late Barry Malvern, who helped more than any other citizen to make Mudgee flower-conscious. And what finer work could a man do. And he helped in many other directions, too. For a number of years he gave his services as judge of flower shows and garden competitions, and the Mudgee Agricultural Society and Education Department found in him a willing and skilful helper. He also assisted the Mudgee Bowling Club to build up its greens, and the members of that organisation are deeply grateful for the many favors received at his hands. Honest as the day, and with the gracious gift of doing the right thing at the right time, the late Harry Malvern naturally attracted and held the friendship of all worthy citizens, and his lamentable death having robbed them of a comrade who will be hard to replace. He had not enjoyed good health for a considerable period prior to his death, but in face of many difficulties, but strove with all his power to carry out his many duties. Several months ago he was granted leave by the council in the hope that he might recover his lost health, but, alas! nothing could be done to relieve him, and the end came as stated. He is survived by a sorrowing widow and the following son and daughters: - Douglas (Mudgee), Eric (Campbelltown), Fred (Summer Hill), Jack (Bondi), Mrs. Winfield (Havilah), and Elsie (Summer Hill). To the bereaved ones the deepest sympathy will be extended. They have lost one near and very dear to them, but they will find some consolation in the knowledge that their loved one has left behind him an honored name and a record of devoted service to the community.
