Death of a Pioneer.

Mrs. George Rush. Mrs. Geo. Rush, relict of the late Mr. Geo. Rush died at her residence, Two Mile Flat (Gulgong). Deceased was 94 years of age, and resided in the Gulgong and Mudgee districts for over 60 years. She was a native of England. Her husband predeceased her by 29 years. The only children living are Mr. George Rush and Mr. Charles Rush, of Yamble. The remains were interred in the Church of England portion of the Gulgong general cemetery on Friday last. The Rev. Mr. Woodger officiated at the graveside. The funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr. S. J. L. Turner. The late Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Rush first went to Meroo when the diggings were the order of things. The husband made a good deal of money there. After being in business there for some time they shifted to Two Mile Flat, where they erected a hotel and butcher's shop. Great results rewarded their enterprise. As many as 25 sheep and six bullocks were killed every night. The late Mr. Rush died from an internal injury. The business went into the hands of his sons, with whom the mother lived up to the time of her death. The sons are now engaged in pastoral pursuits. Mudgee Guardian, Monday 20 September 1915, p. 1.
