Death of a mother | Sarah Ryan 25 March 1915 (aged 50 years) MRS. SARAH DYKES. Mr. Geo. W. Dykes, of Exchange Corner, received a wire today, containing the sad information that his mother, Mrs. Sarah Dykes, had died in Sydney. Deceased was about 75 years of age. She had been ailing for some time, and her demise was not unexpected. The funeral will move from St. Mary's R.C. Church, Mudgee, at 10.30 a.m. on Saturday next. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved. Mudgee Guardian, Thursday 25 March 1915, p. 16. Sarah Dykes Death The Late Mrs Dykes It was with deep regret that the public heard of the death of Mrs. Geo. Dykes, sen., who lived for many years in Mudgee, and was very highly respected. Deceased was a benefactor to the public with her private hospital in Gladstone-street. How many there are who received therein, her skilled and kindly attention in pain and sickness. It was a splendidly conducted institution. It was somewhere in the late 60's that deceased, with her late husband (who predeceased her by a number of years) with four little ones travelled to Mudgee in the spring cart of the day, taking up residence at Burrundulla. The family increased to ten. After the demise of her husband Mrs. Dykes opened the private hospital, and was as a God-send to the mothers of the bush who found comfort and great care from the principal and her estimable assistants during 30 years. Dr. Harvey Nickoll will bear a medical man's testimony to the capability of the motherly matron. Length of years and the need for well-earned rest brought about her retirement, and finally the good lady took up her abode at Summer Hill with members of the family. Her end had been expected for weeks past. Members of the family had been summoned in good time. The remains were brought to Mudgee for interment. The employees of Messrs Jas. Loneragan, Ltd., and relatives of deceased met the remains at the railway station, and marched behind the hearse to St. Mary's R.C. Church. The funeral left the church at 10.30 a.m. on Saturday. The funeral cortege was lengthy, and embraced the members of the A.H.C. Guild. The pall bearers were Messrs. George, Charles, Benjamin and James Dykes, sons of the deceased. The Rev. Father Phelan, of Lewisham, attended deceased before her death. The service at the graveside was conducted by Rev. Father Flanagan. The funeral ar-rangements were in the hands of Mr. J. Medcalf (Redfern) and Mrs. Jones (Mudgee). The deceased was a native of Mulgoa, Penrith. So one more good pioneer mother sleeps in God's acre at Mudgee. Mr. George Dykes (Mudgee) is the senior of the family in deep mourning on the verge of Eastertide. Mr. Edward Dykes is a resident of Brisbane, Mr. Charles is in the city, Mr. Ben resides at Dulwich Hill, Mr James is at Mudgee, Mrs. P. Rheinberger resides at Wellington, Mrs. Fryer is a resident of Summer Hill, also Misses Annie, Marie, and Bessie. Mudgee Guardian, Thursday 1 April 1915, p. 20. Sarah Dykes Obituary |

Ill | 16 December 1920 (aged 55 years) Mr. George Dykes No Better. It will be learnt with very great regret, that Mr. G. W.

Death | 20 December 1920 (aged 55 years) Mr. George Dykes. DEATH ON MONDAY EVENING Very general and very great regret was felt and expressed when it became known that Mr. G. W. Dykes, of Church-street, Mudgee, had died on Monday evening - about a quarter after eight. Mr. Dykes had been ill for a long time, and seriously and critically ill for the ten days immediately preceding his decease. His death was, therefore, not altogether unexpected. Its actual occurrence was, nevertheless, in the way of a painful shock to Mr. Dykes' large circle of friends and to the townspeople generally. The late George Wimbourne Dykes was 56 years of age, and was a son of the late Mr. George Dykes and one of a large and most highly respected family. He was a native of “Wimbourne,” Mulgoa, a prettily situated old-time hamlet some eight miles to the south of Penrith, but had lived practically all his life in and about Mudgee, to which he came as quite a lad. For many years Mr. Dykes had a tinsmith's and plumber's business in Mudgee. He left the town (shortly after his marriage) for Ipswich, Queensland, where he had obtained employment, in the gas works, at his trade. After a while he returned to Mudgee, and again entered into business as a tinsmith and plumber. Later on Mr. Dykes purchased the newsagency, bookselling and stationery business of Mr. H. A. Pocklington, on the Exchange Corner, which he carried on, with Mrs. Dykes, up to the time of his death; in the first instance, and for a considerable time, in the Exchange Corner premises, since demolished to allow of the erection of the Australian Bank of Commerce's new offices, and later successively in premises in Church-street and in the new shop building he erected a few years since. Mr. Dykes' married Miss Catherine Mary Cotter, daughter of the late Mr. John Cotter, who was for some years governor of the Mudgee gaol. He leaves besides his wife Messrs. Percy Dykes (late A.I.F.) and William Dykes, sons; and Carmel Dykes, daughter. He is also survived by the following brothers and sisters: - Messrs. James (Mudgee), Edward (Cooma), Charles (Manly), Benjamin (Belmore), brothers; Mesdames Fryer (Manly), P. Rheinberger (Wellington), Misses Sarah and Maria Dykes (Narrandera) and Miss Bessie Dykes (Manly), sisters. The late Mr. Dykes was one of the most highly respected and esteemed of Mudgee townsmen, as he was one of the oldest of the younger generation of citizens. He was of exceptionally high character and of most amiable and engaging disposition, and commanded in a quite unusual degree the attachment and affection of his friends, who were numerous, both in the town and throughout the district. In him an excellent townsman has gone, and his passing is, as has been said, the occasion of very sincere and widespread regret. With Mrs. Dykes, whose bereavements have been many within the past year or so, her children, and the family generally very great sympathy is felt. On Tuesday morning the body of the deceased was removed to St Mary's Church, the coffin - with the regalia of the A.H. Guild, of which Mr. Dykes was a devoted and devout member, on it - was placed before the altar. An impressive service was conducted by the Very Rev. E. J. Flanagan, P.P., V.F., who also performed the last offices at the graveside. The funeral cortege, which was large and influentially representative of the town, left St. Mary's Church for the Mudgee General Cemetery, in the Catholic portion of which the interment was made, shortly after three o'clock. The A.H.C., in considerable strength, marched in regalia, and there were also marching several members of other friendly societies. The pall bearers at the church, were Messrs. James, Charles and Benjamin Dykes, brothers, and Mr Percy Dykes, eldest son. The pall bearers at the cemetery were Messrs James, Charles and Benjamin Dykes and Mr. Steve Malone. The funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr. H. Barton. Mudgee Guardian, Thursday 23 December 1920, p. 7. George Dykes Obituary |
