Death of Mr. Joseph Pitt. The "Rylstone Advocate" says it is with regret that we have to record the death of Mr Joseph Pitt, of Cudgegong, which sad event took place at his residence, on Tuesday night rather suddenly. For sometime past the deceased gentle-man had been in a delicate state of health and under the care of Dr Nicholl, of Mudgee. On the day prior to his death, Mr Pitt felt in better health than he had for some time past, but on the evening of his death, he took a bad turn, and passed away peacefully, sitting in his chair, surrounded by his loving sons and daughters. The death of the deceased gentleman cast quite a gloom over Cudgegong, where he been a resident for over 28 years, and was highly respected by all who came in contact with him. The late Mr Pitt was 60 years of age, and a native of Richmond, near Windsor. The remains were interred in the Cudgegong cemetery, on Thursday morning, and were followed to the grave by his sorrowing sons, daughters, relatives, and a large concourse of friends. The Rev D Winter, R.D., read the burial services in a very impressive manner, and spoke in feeling terms of the good qualities of deceased gentleman, and the sad blow to his loving and affectionate family (Windsor and Richmond Gazette, Saturday 14 December 1895, page 22).

ENJOYABLE DANCE. Mr. and Mrs. James Pitt, of Ironstone Creek, Cudgegong, gave a very enjoyable dance last Wednesday evening to celebrate the 21st birthday of their son Fred. About 50 friends accepted the invitations. Dancing commenced at an early hour to music that could not be surpassed, provided by Miss Myra Oldfield, Messrs. Oldfield Bros., W. Woods, G. Hextell, and M. Mike. The duties of M.C. were ably carried out by Mr. W. Oldfield, who kept the dancers going until supper time. The supper was laid out on a large verandah, curtained round for the occasion, and after everyone had done justice to the good things provided, the usual toasts were honored. Dancing again started, and but for short intervals, while songs were rendered, continued until broad daylight, when all left for their respective homes, fully convinced that Mr. and Mrs. Pitt had given them one of the most pleasant night possible.

Note: Reminiscences of the Late Mrs Pitt.

Reminiscences of the Late Mrs Pitt. (Contributed) Those who have known the late Mrs. Elizabeth Pitt, who so lately passed to a new sphere, may read with, interest something of her earlier days. This, grand old lady was noted for her loving, kindly and happy disposition a characteristic which were in her girldhood days even more emphasised. Mr. ??? ????? right hand. She was the eldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert Smith, of Wilberforce, in the Windsor district. Here her girlhood days were spent usefully and amiably. At the age of 19 she was married to the late Mr. Joseph Pitt, in the Church of England at Richmond, where she had previously been a much loved and respected teacher. Some fourteen years of her early married life were spent at Richmond, and later at Rouse Hill, Pitt Town. From thence a removal was made to the Mudgee district, in the year 1868, the selected being on a farm leased from the late Mr. William Bowman, known at that time, as Bridge Flat, now as Lillawa. Here a produce business and store was successfully conducted for a number of years. Eventually a fine property and home were acquired and built up, in the near vicinity known today as Rose Hill, where a large and respected family was reared, who are widely known throughout the whole district. The late lady was predeceased some 14 years by her beloved husband. Only six months later her fourth son, Charles, was laid beside his father. Again, so recently as 1917, the Grim Reaper appeared amongst her family, removing her eldest daughter, Mrs. E. T. Millett, of Leadville, and her youngest son, Austin, of Mullamuddy, within five days of each other. These blows the old lady bore with Christian fortitude, though it affected her health, somewhat. Mrs. Pitt had mothered a family of fifteen of which there now remain four sons and four daughters. Four having died in their infancy. There are 35 grandchildren, and about 45 great-grandchildren. Mrs. Pitt's funeral, which moved from her late residence, Rose Hill, at Cudgegong, was largely attended. Though the restrictions by the railway authorities, her youngest daughter, Miss Eva Pitt, was unable to attend her bedside nor Mrs. Nash, of Berry, who, though in Mudgee, was too ill to leave her bed at the time. So ends the career, of another of our pioneers, whose over half century residence has left its land mark's in the district (Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative, Monday 14 April 1919, page 4).

Note: DEATHS

DEATHS The Late Mr. James Pitt. DEATH claimed one of the grand old pioneers or the Mudgee district when as mentioned in our columns last week. Mr. James Pitt, of Ironstone Creek, Cudgegong, passed away. His death came as a shock to his many friends and relatives, for he seemed to enjoy his customary health only a few hours before his demise. It appears that he was sitting on the front verandah when he saw a snake, and, upon rising to despatch the reptile, suddenly collapsed, and expired almost immediately from heart failure. The late Mr. Pitt married a Miss Caroline Hunt, of Lawson's Creek, some fifty-one years ago, and only last year there was great jubilation amongst relatives when the aged and honored couple celebrated their golden wedding. Besides a sorrowing widow, deceased leaves the following children to mourn: Messrs. Frederick, Harry, Walter, and Stanley (all of Cudgegong), Mrs. P. H. Oldfleld (Stoney Pinch) and Mrs. F. Marskell (Glen Alice). He is also survived by one ber, Mr. Samuel Pitt, of Mullamuddy, and three sisters - Mrs. George Nash (Katoomba) and Misses Elizabeth Pitt (Mullamuddy) and Eva Pitt (Katoomba) (Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative, Thursday 25 January 1940, page 3).
