NEVELL - NEVELL. A very pretty wedding was celebrated on Wednesday, 30th ult, at the residence of the bride's parents, Chester, when Miss Eveline Nevell, second daughter of Mr. H. W. Nevell was married to Mr. J. E. Nevell, of Flatlands. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. J. Thorp in the dining room, which had been tastefully decorated with tree ferns and flowers. The bride, who was given away by her father, looked sweetly pretty in a dress of white floral silk trimmed with chiffon lace, quilled ribbon and orange blossoms. The tulle veil was arranged over a coronet of orange blossoms and fastened with a handsome gold pin. She also wore a gold chain (gift of her uncle, Mr. Burton Sampson) and a diamond brooch and carried a shower bouquet, both gifts of the bridegroom. The bridesmaids, Misses May and Emmie Nevell (sisters of the bride) wore pretty dresses of white pongee silk, with trimmings of chiffon and pale blue ribbons and white picture hats. They also wore gold and pearl brooches, which, with shower bouquets, were gifts of the bridegroom. The bridegroom's bRother, Mr. Herbert Nevell, of Durridgere, acted as best man. At the conclusion of the ceremony the Wedding March was played by Miss E. M. Nevell, and everyone repaired to the verandah, which had been converted into a prettily decorated tea room, where the bridal tea was served and several toasts honored. The catering was done by Mr. W. L. Nicholson, of Mudgee, who thirty five years ago performed the same service for the bride's parents. The brides' travelling dress was a braided Eton costume of navy cloth, with nicked white satin vest, hat en suite. The happy couple left Mornington by the evening train for Jenolan Caves and Sydney amidst a shower of rose leaves and confetti. The presents were numerous and costly, and included several cheques.

Note: Died in Queensland.

Died in Queensland. Mrs. H. W. Nevell. By the passing away on Friday, 28th January, at Brewong Private Hospital, Chinchilla (Qld.), of Mrs. Henry W. Nevell, of "Euromida" (formerly of Rylstone district), at the age of 76 years, another of the connecting links between the past and the present Australian life is severed. The late Mrs. Nevell was born in Bathurst, N.S.W., in 1839, being the second daughter of the late William E. Sampson, her maternal grandfather (Mr. Richard Mills), her husband's grandfather (Mr. Jas. Vincent) and father (Mr. John Nevell) being three of the first ten settlers who were granted land on the Bathurst Plains about 1813. It is only within the last few months that one of these properties was sold by this family. Mr. W. E. Sampson dying at an early age, his widow (Mrs. Nevell's mother) married William King (M.D. of Glasgow and Petrograd), who practised until his death in 1869 in Mudgee, with one short break, when he followed his profession in Wollongong. No doubt there are many who still remember the skill and kindness of Dr. King. In March, 1863, the marriage was celebrated between Miss F. E. Sampson and Mr. Henry W. Nevell (youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. John Nevell, Carwell), of Butheroe, Mumbedah and Yalcogrin stations, on the Castlereagh River, at St. John's Church of England, Mudgee, by the Ven. Archdeacon Gunther. Owing to the popularity of the bridal pair, and the uniting of two of the old pioneer families, the town was en fete, and it may be mentioned in passing that, until last year, the six bridesmaids who took part in the ceremony were all living (52 years later). The guests (250) were subsequently entertained by Dr. and Mrs. King, and Mrs. Nevell, sen., at a ball. After the honeymoon, spent at Deridgerie, the young couple settled down to station life at Butheroe, with occasional changes to both Mumdedah and Yalcogrin. So the years flitted on, Mrs. Nevell helping many of the sick and injured by the medical knowledge gained from her long association with Dr. King in his profession. Even in the Chinchilla district there are old Butheroe station hands who can testify to her skill and kindness. The severing, of the life at Butheroe came in 1897, when Mr. and Mrs. Nevell went to reside at Chester, near Clandulla, where they spent ten years. Then the family moved to "Euromida," Chinchilla, where they have resided for the past eight years. After 18 months of - at times intense - suffering, which she bore with Christian fortitude, helped considerably by the Rev. Mr. Wilkinson, and attended medically by Dr. Rygate, Mrs. Nevell passed away - or, as in the words of Shelley, "She faded as a cloud that had out wept its rain," leaving to mourn their great loss her husband, four sons, and three daughters, viz., Clarence. Claude, Vincent, King, Mrs. J. E. Nevell (Flatlands, Clandulla), and Misses; May and E. M. Nevell (Euromida and Brewong); also one ber (Mr. B. E. Sampson), two stepbers (Messrs. William and Clarence King), one sister (Mrs. J. V. Hawker, California, U.S.A.), and two grandsons (Samuel and Alan Nevell). The funeral took place on the following Saturday afternoon, moving from the Church of England, where part of the service was held, and where the mortal remains of a loving wife and mother had rested in the sacred precincts of the altar. Floral tributes were placed upon the oaken coffin by those who loved her. She now rests in the Church of England portion of the Chinchilla Cemetery next to her daughter Lily, who predeceased her some two years ago. Truly - at rest.

DEATH OF MR. HENRY NEVELL. On Thursday Mr. Geo. Stewart, of Binnawee, Mudgee, received a telegram from Mr. Clarence Nevell, of Chinchilla, Queensland, stating that his father, Mr. Henry Vincent Nevell, had died on Wednesday, the previous day. The Nevell family, who are pioneers of the district, and are great friends of Mr. Stewart, and naturally he was very much upset to hear of the passing away of his old friend. The Nevell family are highly esteemed and respected right throughout the Bathurst, Rylstone, and Mudgee districts. The first Nevell to come across the Blue Mountains was John Nevell, and he was one of the first ten settlers to take up his residence in the Bathurst district, at Kelso. The present Kelso railway station stands on a portion of the land which was owned by him. Afterwards Mr. John Nevell settled at Carwell, near Rylstone, and from him all branches of the Nevell family have sprung. Deceased is a son of Mr. John Nevell. Originally deceased owned Buthero and Mumbedah stations, near Dunedoo. Somewhere about twenty years ago he and his family went to Queensland to reside, and have a nice property near Chinchilla, Queensland. Mudgee Guardian, Monday 18 December 1922, p. 9.

Note: Late Henry W. Nevell

Late Henry W. Nevell A PIONEER OF THE MUDGEE DISTRICT. At Chinchilla, Queensland, on December 13th, there passed to his eternal home one of those who belonged truly to the pioneers of our district. The late Mr. Henry Nevell, was born in Bathurst in February 1839. Being the youngest son of the late John and Elizabeth Nevell of Carwell, he was the last link connecting the elder with the younger generation in the Nevell family. He was educated in Parramatta, with his bers, at the schools of the late Mr. Burton Bradley and Mr. J. Underwood, and could tell many stirring tales of crossing the Blue Mountains in those early days. He remembered the first coach used on that road and was present at the turning of the first sod of the railway from Sydney to Parramatta. He knew Rylstone when it was a sheep station belonging to his father, and Mudgee when it was in its infancy. He was acquainted with Mr. E. H. Hargreaves, the discoverer of gold in Australia, when he was overseer at Tunnabutta before gold was thought of. He was the friend of the old pioneer families of Mudgee and district and loved to talk of the late William Bowman, the Lowes, the Rouses, N. P. Bayley, the Blackmans, the Coxes, the Lawsons, Clarry and Wally Bayley, and so on. Living at Butheroe station and Yalcogrin for over forty years, he was conversant with the early history of those districts, and could tell tales of when the aboriginals held sway in those parts and of the white men who gradually won their way through those wilds. A keen, retentive memory stayed with him until the last, and he always believed that James Blackman discovered Mudgee from hearing his parents (who were then, residents of Bathurst) and many old hands discuss the event. Mr. Nevell's father was one of the first ten men to settle in Bathurst, receiving a Crown grant of land from the Government for his zeal and enterprise in following in the wake of the explorers. He married Miss Elizabeth Vincent, who with her father, the late James Vincent, arrived in Sydney in 1801. After some years spent in Bathurst the family settled at Carwell, Rylstone, and many of their descendants still reside in this district. Mr. Henry Nevell in 1863 married Miss Frances Sampson. The union of the two old pioneer families (for Miss Sampson's grandfather, Richard Mills, had also been one of the first ten settlers at Bathurst) was the scene of the greatest rejoicing, in Mudgee, St. John's Church being crowded with friends and well wishers, and a huge picnic and dance at night was attended by old and young. A long, happy life together was parted six years ago by the death of Mrs. Nevell, and now her beloved husband has joined her, leaving four sons, three daughters, two grandsons, and a great grandson to mourn the loss they have sustained in the passing of a true, loving and much honored father.
