PASSING OF TWO PIONEERS.

Two pioneers of the district in the person of Mr. Lawrence Lennox and his wife, passed away recently. Mr. Lennox, who has been a sufferer for some time, passed away on August 27, aged 81, and his wife, aged 80, followed him on September 4, eight days later. Both were born in the Wollar district, and spent their lives in the Wollar and Cassilis districts. For 50 years they resided at their late residence at Coomcealla, on the Goulburn River. They were the good old type of settlers, renowned for their hospitality, and loved and respected by all who knew them. There are 10 sorrowing children, viz.. John Lawrence (Gulgong), William Dennis (Pembroke), Thomas Patrick (Borambil), Mesdames J. L. Lennox (Borambil), W. Cronin (Merriwa), J. Quinlan (Green Arm), J. O'Connor (Sydney), G. Robinson (Wollar), Misses Mary and Anastasia (Wollar). The aged couple were buried side by side at Wollar, the Rev. Father Cooney of Gulgong, performing the last sad rites. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved family. Mudgee Guardian, Friday 18 September 1925, p. 20. Laurence Lennox Obituary

DEATH

Mrs. N. Harper A VERY sad death occurred in Sydney yesterday, when Mrs. N. Harper passed away. Deceased, who was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. L. Lennox, pioneers of the Wollar district, had been suffering from influenza for some time, and so serious was her condition that all members of the family were summoned to her bedside. She rallied, however, and most of the relatives, greatly relieved, took their departure for home. Then came the fatal seizure on Wednesday, and the shock to the family can better be imagined than described. Until about ten years ago the late Mrs. Harper resided in this district, where she was held in the highest esteem by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. She was a kindly, charitable soul, and delighted in assisting those less fortunately situated than herself. She was first married to Mr. J. O'Connor, and by the union there was one daughter (Myra), who, with the bereaved husband, will have the heartful sympathy of the whole countryside. The following brothers and sisters are also left to mourn: James (Portland), William (Collaroy), Thomas (Borambil), Mesdames J. T. Cluff and J. O'Brien (Mudgee), G. Robinson and J. Quinlan (Wollar), and Mrs. J. Lennox (Borambil). Mudgee Guardian, Thursday 29 August 1935, p. 7. Letitia Harper Obituary

Coroner's Inquest at Cassilis

INQUIRY INTO DEATH OF WILLIAM DENNIS LENNOX

Driver of Car in No Way to Blame for Accident The district coroner, Mr. J. Yule, held an inquest at Cassilis on Friday last into the cause of death of William Dennis Lennox, 65, married, who was knocked down and killed by a motor car on the Cassilis-Borambil Road on the 19th June, and found that deceased died from the effects of injuries accidentally received, adding that, on the evidence adduced the driver of the car, Mr. J. R. Bull was not in any way to blame for the accident. Constable Ross Thomson officer in charge of police at Cassilis, stated that at about 7.10 p.m. on the 19th June John Richard Bull called at the police station and informed him that he had just run over a man - William Lennox - in his motor car on the Borambil-Cassilis road, about 1½ miles from Cassilis. On being asked if he was dead, Bull, who was quite sober but very upset, replied that he was not sure. Constable Thomson immediately rang Dr. Bray at Cassilis, and with her went to the scene of the accident. On approaching, he saw a green coloured utility truck on the right hand side of the road, and about 17 yards further on, the figure of a man lying on the right hand side of the road. About five yards further on there was a creamy coloured motor car facing Cassilis with both headlights showing on the figure of the man. Dr. Bray examined the body and pronounced life extinct. The deceased had blood about his face and small cuts about his forehead. There was also a cut on the back of the head. After informing the coroner at Borambil of Lennox's death, the Constable came back to the scene of the accident and saw a pool of blood on the centre of the road opposite to where the deceased was lying. He examined the brakes of Mr. Bull's car and they were in good order, as were the headlights. The deceased was then brought back to Cassilis morgue and attended to. It could be seen that the left leg was fractured in two places and the right leg fractured. There was a deep wound on the back of the head and the chest appeared to be crushed. Constable Thomson then produced a plan of the accident for the benefit of the coroner (Mr. Yule), stating that his investigations had showed that the driver of the car, Mr. Bull, was in no way to blame for the accident. Dr. Mabel Irene Bray, of Cassilis, confirmed the Constable's statement, and gave medical evidence of what she had found at the scene of the accident. On making a superficial examination she had found that there were various cuts and surface wounds about his forehead and face and he also had a fracture of the left parietal bone. The body was still warm and the deceased had not been dead for very long. Later that night she had made a detailed examination of the body at the morgue, and had found that both bones of his left leg had been shattered and tooth bones of his right leg had been fractured. His chest had been crushed, his sternum and several ribs fractured, and his skull also fractured. In her opinion either the chest wound or the head wound would have been fatal. Later, on being recalled, Dr. Bray stated that when she examined the deceased on the night of the accident on the road she did not notice any signs of liquor, but later at the morgue did notice the actual smell of liquor when examining the body. Kevin Stephen Winner, labourer, stated in evidence that he had been employed by Mr. John Bull for 12 months. He left Borambil about 4.30 p.m. on the 19th June, came to Cassilis in Mr. Bull's car, and went to Dalkeith from Cassilis. They had gone to Dalkeith to get a truck. Arriving back at Cassilis by himself by motor truck at about 5.15 p.m., he parked his truck near the butcher's shop, and at about 5.45 p.m., Mr. W. Lennox came and asked could he get a lift home to Boramibil with him. He left Casailis about 5.55 p.m. accompanied by the deceased, W. Lennox. He was driving the utility truck, and Mr. Lennox was a passenger. About 1½ miles on the road to Borambil, the lights went out, the engine of the car stopped and the truck ran on to the right hand side of the road. Winner stated that he got out and tried to fix the lights, and the deceased also got out and sat on the left hand or near side of the running board. “About twenty minutes later,” witness continued, 'I saw a car coming up the hill from the direction of Cassilis. I said to the deceased 'will this be Jack Bull?' He then said to me 'I will stop him.' “When the car approaching appeared to be about 10 yards off from where we were, I saw the deceased run out on to the middle of the road and put his hands up and sing out 'whoa.' I then heard a terrific bump. “I ran round the side of the truck to see if I could see the deceased, and I then ran up about seven yards and I saw the deceased lying in the middle of the road. He was moaning. Mr. Bull got out of his car and walked back and had a look and then got back into his car and came back into Cassilis accompanied by me. Mr. Bull then reported the accident to Constable Thomson.” Winner stated that he would say he had travelled about seven yards in his truck after the lights went out. He had been travelling at about 20 miles an hour. The reason why his truck was travelling on the wrong side of the road was because the other side of the road was too rough. He thought the deceased was a bit merry when he got into the truck. Witness stated that, seeing the danger in which deceased was placing himself by running out on to the road, he had yelled a warning to come back, which was unheeded. “At that time,” he continued, “Mr. Bull, the driver of the car, would not have any opportunity of avoiding him.” Michael Blake, station hand of Borambil, stated that, just prior to the accident, Mr. Bull passed him in his car at a speed of about 30 to 35 miles an hour. He was sure he was not travelling at an excessive speed. In evidence John Richard Bull, general contractor of Borambil, stated that shortly after passing Blake, he drove up over the hill on to the flat, where a man walked out from the right hand side of the road on to the middle of the road and put his hands up. “When I saw him,” he continued, “I was only about two or three yards away from him. I applied the brakes and swerved the car to try and avoid him but I hit the man with the radiator and bumper bar of the car, knocked him down and ran over the top of him.” On going back and examining the body he saw that the man was Mr. William Lennox. When he saw he was dead, he carried him to the side of the road. “When the deceased stepped out into the middle of the road” he stated, “he appeared to come out from the front of the utility truck.” In a statement to the police Bull said that he had only had three drinks that day. He had been driving a car for about 21 years, and this was his first accident. As he approached the scene of the accident he saw a utility truck on the right hand side of the road, and at the time of the accident he estimated that he was travelling at about 25 miles an hour. He considered that the car carried the body of the deceased about seven or eight yards. To Mr. Buggy he stated that when the deceased came out from in front of the truck it was impossible for him to avoid him. Mr. J. J. Dowd (Gulgong) for widow of deceased; Mr. R. Buggy (McCulloch and Buggy, Sydney) for Charles John Murray, employer of deceased. Mudgee Guardian, Thursday 3 July 1947, p. 15. Dennis William Lennox Death
