PIONEER PASSES

LATE MR. CHARLES RUSH As briefly reported in Monday's "Guardian," Mr. Charles Rush died at his Two Mile Flat home on Sunday last at the great age of 83 years. Deceased was born in England, and came to Australia at an early age. The blood of the pioneer was in him, and over half a century ago he started home-making at Two Mile Flat, where he cleared and ploughed and made marked progress. It was hard work, but settlers of the Charles Rush type heeded little, the discomforts which attended the struggle to carve out a way for themselves in those strenuous days. He, with his worthy wife, overcame the many difficulties presented, and their home became one of the most comfortable in the district. Sturdy, self-reliant, and courageous, the subject of this notice naturally took a leading part in the affairs of his immediate district, and his advice was sought (and freely given) to all those who desired a helping hand. He brought knowledge to bear in the management of his own affairs, and had much success in farming and grazing pursuits. Over a wide area he was known and trusted, and by his passing the district has lost a man who will be greatly missed and sincerely mourned. He is survived by a sorrowing widow and the following sons and daughters:- George and Herbert (Two Mile Flat), Mesdames W. R. Mills, H. S. Mogg, A. Tomkins (Lawson's Creek), and G. Alexander (Sydney). To the bereaved ones the deepest sympathy of all is extended. The funeral took place to the Church of England portion of the Mudgee cemetery on Monday, the Rev. L. V. Caldwell (Gulgong) officiating at the graveside. Mudgee Guardian, Thursday 17 December 1931, p. 4. Charles Rush Obituary

DEATHS Mrs. Eliza Jane Rush The death occurred at her home at Two Mile Flat on Friday last of Mrs. Eliza Jane Rush, relict of the late Mr. Charles Rush, aged 84 years. Deceased, who was intimately known and highly respected by practically everyone in the district, was a member of the old pioneering McManus family, and spent the whole of her long, useful and honorable life in the Two Mile Flat area. Her friendship was valued by a large circle of admirers, and her memory will be held in reverence for many years to come. To the sick and suffering she was a haven of refuge, and never was an appeal for help refused. To her sorrowing family of sons and daughters the deepest sympathy of the whole community will be extended. Mesdames A. Tomkins, H. Mogg and W. Mills, of Mudgee, are among the chief mourners. The funeral, which was largely attended, took place to the Church of England portion of the Mudgee Cemetery on Saturday afternoon, the Rev. Canon Powell officiating at the graveside.
