DEATH OF MR. THOMAS JACKSON.

A correspondent writes: - "General regret was felt when it became known that Mr Thomas Jackson of Slapdash and Stubbo, had breathed his last on Wednesday, July 17th, at 5 o'clock. Although he had been ailing for some time his end was not expected so soon. He was one of the oldest residents of Stubbo, and leaves a wife and ten children, six daughters and four sons. Deceased, at the time of his death, was 72 years of age, and his death leaves a blank that will be hard to fill. A large concourse followed the remains to the grave, his funeral being one of the largest ever seen in Gulgong, every business house being represented. Mr Jackson was well-known as a breeder of stock, and engaged largely in grazing pursuits. He was keen and shrewd in business matters, and a kind husband and father. Few men were more respected.

DEATH OF MRS. THOMAS JACKSON.

The death has occurred of another very old Gulgong identity. We refer to Mrs. Thomas Jackson, who passed away at her home at Stubbo on Saturday afternoon last. The deceased lady who was born at Windsor, New South Wales, came to Gulgong almost 60 years ago, travelling over the mountains with horse and dray with her husband and the first of her family. They had a bag of flour, which they had to cover with a sheet of bark on arriving, at Stubbo, where the land was selected, and a home built, where deceased resided right up to the time of her death. Deceased's husband predeceased her by about 17 years. The late Thomas Jackson was at one time a contractor, and he carted the stores for the present Sydney University. Like many of the old hands, the late Mrs. Jackson had some very exciting experiences. At one time when the Hawkesbury was in flood, she was crossing the bridge in a dray with her youngest child, and the water was running well into the dray. The child was nearly washed out of the dray. That child is now Mrs. W. Upham, a very highly respected resident of Gulgong. The deceased lady, who was 76 years of age, had not been ill very long. Many were her acts of kindness to those in need. Like her family she was very highly respected throughout the Gulgong district. The deceased leaves a family of nine children to mourn. They are Mesdames W. Upham (Gulgong), W. Finlay (Baradine), J. Finlay (Tamworth), J. C. Watson (Stubbo), J. Wilson (Gulgong), J. Lee (Pugoon), and Walter and Thomas and George of Gulgong. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon last, the remains being laid to rest in the Church of England portion of the general cemetery, Rev. C. J. Allen officiating. Mr. Turner had charge of the funeral arrangements. We extend to the bereaved family our deepest sympathy.
