ANDREW MORRISON As briefly reported in our last issue, the death occurred in a Sydney hospital on Thursday last of Andrew Morrison, a very old and respected resident of Rylstone district. Deceased, who was 78 years of age, went to Sydney about three weeks ago to seek expert medical advice and treatment. He followed the occupation of farmer and grazier, and had a nice little property on the Olinda road, near Rylstone. His wife predeceased him some years ago. He is survived by the following sons and daughter: Percy (Merriwa), Herbert ( Brogan's Creek), Stanley (Cox's Creek), Cecil (Olinda Road, Rylstone), and Mrs. Norman Dunn (Rylstone district). The body was taken to Rylstone and the funeral took place on Friday to the Church of England portion of the cemetery, the Rev. J. Richards officiating at the graveside. The funeral was largely attended (Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative, Thursday 5 February 1931, page 6).

Note: OBITUARY

OBITUARY The death of Mr. John Windle last Friday, from natural causes, at the ripe old age of 80 years, marks the passing of yet another of the staunch old pioneers of the Rylstone district, for Jack, as he was known by everyone within 100 miles radius of Rylstone, had lived here for over 60 years. Born at Bathurst in the 50's of last century, he lived in and around that district for a number of years, and following his occupation of general carrier, came to Rylstone as a young man of about 20, his wife accompanying him. Jack had, perhaps, the most intimate knowledge of the country throughout this district of any man who ever resided here, for his occupation as a carrier took him from Wallerawang to Bathurst, to Mudgee and all towns en route and across the ranges to Widden, where his two bullock teams were often to be seen hauling the heavy waggons filled with goods from the city on the up journey, and loaded high with farm produce on the return trip. One team was composed entirely of bald-faced bullocks, and a familiar sight for many years around Rylstone was the baldy team with Jack, a huge figure of a man, striding alongside the team swinging his long whip. Possessed of enormous physical strength, probably the strongest man in the town in his prime, a favorite pastime when in town was to visit one of the smithies' shops in Lue-street, and this scribe, as well as many others who saw him, can vouch for the following occurrences. In the shop stood an anvil weighing sightly over 3cwt., and Jack would take off his greenhide belt, pass it through the hole in the anvil and around the beak, and then placing his hands behind his back, he would take the belt in his teeth, and carry the anvil off its block and across the shop, leaving it there for the smith and his striker to replace as best they might. Deceased is survived by his widow and three sons, Messrs. Ted, Harry and Billy (a fourth son, Jack, being dead), and four daughters, Mesdames S. Morrison, S. Sampson, Godfrey Young and Bayliss, whilst Mrs. Windle, senr., the widow, resides at Kandos. Deceased was laid to rest in the Catholic portion of the Rylstone cemetery alongside his son, John, the Rev. Father King officiating, and a large number of mourners attended to pay their last respects to the old warrior. Mudgee Guardian, Thursday 16 June 1932, p. 8. Obituary John Windle

Note: Obituary

Obituary Mrs E M Morrison The death occurred in Mudgee District Hospital, on September 20, of Emily Maude Morrison, aged 81 years. She was the last member of a well-known Rylstone pioneering family. Born in 1888, Mrs. Morrison was the second youngest daughter, in the family of four sons and four daughters, of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Windle of Rylstone. In her late teens, Mrs. Morrison married Mr. Stanley Sidney Morrison, also of a pioneering family of Rylstone. Their first home was at Cox's Creek where their family of four sons and three daughters were born. Later the family bought a property in the Coolah area. About 1937 that property was sold and the family moved to Belvedere, Gulgong. Mr. and Mrs. Morrison and their sons carried on the farming and grazing property until Mr. and Mrs. Morrison retired in 1953 to live at Blacktown. They never lost their love of the country, and were often to be found visiting properties of some of their children. After Mr. Morrison's death in 1963, Mrs. Morrison stayed on at Blacktown for a few years but she returned to Gulgong in 1966 to live with her eldest son Nolan in Mayne Street, where she lived until her death. Mrs. Morrison is survived by her children Nolan and Stan, (Gulgong) Sylvia (Mrs. C. Cottle, Cassilis) Vince, (Binnaway), Violet (Mrs. R. Ezzy, Blacktown), Joyce, (Mrs. K. Hooper, Baulkham Hills) and Ken of Lyons, A.C.T. She is also survived by 21 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. Two grandchildren predeceased her.
