Note: MR. AUSTIN PITT.

MR. AUSTIN PITT. Quite a gloom was cast over Mudgee on Tuesday when it became known that Mr. Austin Pitt, of Mullamuddy, and a most highly respected and popular resident of the district in which he had spent all his life, has died on the previous night - or as it transpired early that morning. Mr. Pitt had the day be-fore complained of feeling unwell, but it was not for a moment suspected that there was anything seriously wrong with him. On Monday night he was seized with a paralytic stroke. A medical man was summoned from Mudgee, but before the doctor's arrival, with a nurse, Mr. Pitt had died. The death, which occurred shortly after midnight, was a consequence of the stroke, from the effects of which the unfortunate gentleman never rallied. Mr. Pitt was on the day of his death so far in his usual health that during the day he was mustering sheep in company with his nephew, Mr. W. Pitt. Mr Austin Pitt, who was a member of the well known district Pitt family, was at the time of his death only 38 years of age. He was a farmer and grazier carrying on business at Mullamuddy in partnership with Messrs. S. V. Pitt and Co., Cudgegomg. He married Miss M. McLachlan, sister of Mr. L. McLachlan, of Rylstone, and leaves, besides his widow, a family of three children, the youngest of whom is under three years of age. Mrs. Millett, of Leadville, whose death occurred at Mudgee, on July 25, was a sister of Mr. Austin Pitt. The following are also of the family : - Mrs. J. Pitt (Berry, mother), Mrs. Nash (Berry), Mrs. Rayner (Mudgee), and Misses Lizzie and Eva Pitt (Cudgegong), Messrs. J. A. Pitt (Mudgee), S. Pitt (Cudgegong), and J. Pitt (Cudgegong). The funeral, which was largely and influentially attended, took place on Wednesday. The interment was made in the Church of England Cemetery at Mudgee. The Rev Canon Dunstan officiated at the graveside. Tie funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr. J. C. Swords, funeral director, Mudgee (Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative, Thursday 2 August 1917, p. 17).

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).
