Death of Mrs. Adam Roth, sen. Another old resident in the person of Mrs. Adam Roth, sen., passed away early this morning at her residence, Eurunderee, at the ripe age of 78 years. Mrs. Roth was a native of Germany, and for the past 48 years has resided in the State, practically the whole of that period having been spent at Eurunderee, where, many years ago, her husband, who predeceased her by some years, founded the famous Eurunderee vineyard and orchard. This splendid property still remains a monument to the industry and energy of the old folk now lying at rest. For some weeks past the deceased lady has been in failing health, and it was generally known that the end was at hand, so that when she succumbed at dawn this morning beneath her great burden of years the shock to her sorrowing family was not so keenly felt as it might have been had her end been unexpected. She leaves a family of six sons and one daughter, all of whom are married, and a number of grandchildren to mourn their loss, and to these our sympathy is extended. The funeral will leave Eurunderee to-morrow for the Mudgee cemetery. Mudgee Guardian, Thursday 15 November 1906, p. 12. Katherine Roth Obituary

DEATH MR. HENRY ROTH THE McDonald's Creek district lost one of its oldest and best pioneers when the death occurred on Tuesday night of Mr. Henry Roth at the age of 70 years. The late Mr. Roth, who had been in ill health for a considerable time, passed away at his residence. A son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Adam Roth, who were among the early settlers of the Mudgee district, he was born at Eurunderee, and had spent the greater part of his life there and at McDonald's Creek. By his industry, thrift and exemplary mode of life, he soon became one of the district's leading graziers, fruit-growers and vignerons. He extended his interests from McDonald's Creek and became the owner of several magnificent grazing properties. He was a staunch supporter of the Mudgee show society and was a regular exhibitor at the shows, his displays of grapes, than which there were few better in the State, winning many first prizes. The late Mr. Roth was a splendid citizen in every sense of the word, and the entire Mudgee district has suffered a severe loss by his passing. He was at all times willing to assist worthy causes, and there are many who have much to thank him for. To his widow, seven sons, one daughter, two brothers and one sister, who survive him, will be extended the deepest sympathy of a veritable army of friends. The children are Norman (McDonald's Creek), Emil (Putta Bucca), Roy (Mudgee), Elsie (McDonald's Creek), Wilbert (Broombee), Stan (McDonald's Creek), Mervyn (McDonald's Creek), and Lyle (McDonald's Creek). The brothers are Louis (Gullamarra) and William (Eurunderee), and the sister is Mrs. H. Macks (Concord). The funeral was held this morning from the residence, a service being conducted in St. John's Church of England. Mudgee, by Rev. L. C. S. Walker, who also officiated at the graveside. The interment was carried out in the Anglican portion of the Mudgee general cemetery, Messrs J. C. Swords and Son being in charge of the arrangements.
