(From Our Correspondent.) DEATH OF MR. J. A. CAMPBELL. "A good husband and a good father has gone to his reward " were the words expressed when the death of Mr. J. A. Campbell, of Slapdash, was announced on Sunday last. The late gentleman was born at Edinburgh, Scotland, 73 years ago, so at his death had attained a ripe old age. He came to the colony 63 years ago, and in 1876 took up land on Slapdash Creek, where he has resided ever since. Some eighteen months ago he took ill, and despite medical skill and most attentive nursing, gradually grew worse. On Saturday his family knew the last hours were near at hand, but he lingered on, conscious to the last, till Sunday at noon, when, surrounded by his four sons, seven daughters and wife, he passed away to the Great Beyond. The late Mr. Campbell took a keen interest in politics, and it was a pleasure to converse with him on the main topics of the day. His family is one of the most respectable in the district, and they have the sympathy of all who know them. The Rev. A. J. Doig performed the last sad rites at the grave. The funeral was one of the largest seen in Gulgong for many years. The deceased was a son of the late Dr. John A. Campbell, a one time well-known physician and surgeon in Sydney, being well known and respected in the fifties. All readers of the Guardian who know the late Mr. Campbell, of Slapdash, must be sorry to hear of his demise. Peace to his ashes.

Death of Mrs Campbell.

ONE OF THE OLDEST DISTRICT IDENTITIES. The death took place on June 22 of Mrs. Elizabeth Campbell, of Slapdash, and one of the oldest and most highly respected residents of the district. Born in Ireland, the deceased came to Australia at the age of 15 years, and at the time of her death had resided in the Mudgee and Gulgong districts for over 60 years. She had lived at Slapdash for 45 years, and was one of Gulgong's oldest identities. Mrs. Campbell reared a large family, nine of whom survive her, all of them being held in the highest esteem. They are: Thomas (Sydney), John Barbadoon (Gulgong), Eliza Jane (Slapdash). Mrs. Carr (Gulgong), Mrs. Lee (Gulgong), Mrs Fenton (Slapdash), Mrs. Lee (Tallawang), and Robert (Gulgong). The total number of her descendants, children and grandchildren, number 96. The deceased, who had a lovable nature, enjoyed more than ordinary good health until the month prior to her death, when she contracted a cold from which she never recovered, and which was practically the cause of her death. Mrs Campbell's husband predeceased her by twenty years. The remains were interred in the Presbyterian portion of the general cemetery, next to where her husband rests. The Rev. G. Nelson Bensley, assisted by Rev. G. S. Watts, read the burial service. The funeral cortege was a very large one. The funeral arrangements were in the hands of Mr. S. J. L. Turner.

The Late Mrs Campbell

In the report of the late Mrs. Campbell's death we omitted to mention the name of one son, Benjamin, residing at Slapdash, which makes the late Mrs. Campbell's family, nine in number. The late Mrs. Campbell had travelled extensively. After her arrival from Ireland at the age of 15 years, she lived in Sydney until she was married. From Sydney she went to Victoria and then returned to Sydney: she later lived for seven years at Wattle Flat, during the gold mining rush. After leaving Wattle Flat, Mrs. Campbell resided at Mudgee, but for a few months only. She came to Gulgong when the gold rush first started, and lived here up to the time of her death, her home being at Slapdash. Mrs. Campbell's nine children are all living. She also leaves 52 grandchildren and 34 great-grandchildren.

DOUBLE WEDDING.

MURRAY - JACKSON. DEUTSCHER - JACKSON. THE double wedding in Gulgong on Saturday evening last was one of the prettiest - if not the prettiest - and largest ever celebrated in the town. The contracting parties were Miss Nella Jean Jackson, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. J. Jackson, of "Rollsville," Gulgong, who was married to Mr. Keith Adam Murray, twin son of Mr. and Mrs R. T. Murray, of Croydon Park, and the bride's sister Miss Madge Elizabeth Jackson, who was married to Mr. Leslie Alban Deutscher, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Deutscher of New Park, Birriwa. St. Luke's Church of England, the Rev. L. V. Caldwell officiating, was beautifully decorated for the occasion with blue hydrangeas by the Misses Lorna and Betty Caldwell (daughters of the Rector). It was in this church that the grandparents of the brides, Mr. T. D. Campbell, of Manly, and the late Mrs. Campbell, and the parents of the brides were married. Messrs. Doug. Campbell, Max Caldwell and J. C. Williams acted as ushers at the Church. The two brides were dressed alike in gowns of angel skin lace, cut on classical lines with the new Peter Pan neckline and long train cut into the skirt with full sleeves caught tightly at the wrist. Miss Nella Jackson wore a magnificently hand embroidered veil of Brussels net and Honiton lace, the work of her aunt, Miss A. B. Campbell, of Chatswood, and kindly loaned by Mrs. A. Howard, of Dural. Miss Madge Jackson wore a similar handmade veil. Both brides wore coronets of orange blossoms arranged off the face. Miss Nella Jackson entered the church by the right aisle on the arm of her father, supported by two train bearers, Gem Jackson (sister of the brides) and Merle Croombe, of Burwood, both dressed in pink stiffened net, with halos of pleated tulle and flowers. The bridesmaids were Misses Helen Burgess, of Chatswood (cousin), Aisla and Jessie Murray, of Croydon Park (sister of the bridegroom), all wearing matching frocks of stiffened net and halos of pleated tulle and flowers. The bride carried a shower bouquet of gladioli and stephanotis with long trails of frangipanni. Mr. Malcolm Murray (brother of the bridegroom) was best man and Mr. Bruce Murray (also a brother) was groomsman. Miss Madge Jackson entered the church by the left aisle, on the arm of her brother, George, supported by two train bearers, Misses Norma Burgess, of Chatswood (cousin) and Mary Arlem (niece of the bride-groom) of Lindfield, also dressed in pink stiffened net with halos of pleated tulle and flowers. The bridesmaids were Misses Audrey O'Connor (cousin), of Lane Cove, and Marjorie and Linda Campbell (cousins of the bride). They wore like frocks of stiffened net with halos of pleated tulle and flowers. The bride carried a bouquet similar to that carried by her sister, of gladioli and stephanotis with long trails of frangipanni. Mr. Stanley Rains was best man, and George Jackson (brother of the bride) and Mr. Loyal Figgis were groomsmen. During the signing of the register, Mrs. Lickiss (wife of Rev. N. Lickiss) very sweetly sang "My Task," Professor Arlam (Sydney), presiding at the organ. The reception was held at the Town Hall where nearly 200 guests were present, the tables being decorated with pink carnations and blue hydrangeas. The Rev. L. V. Caldwell presided. The brides' mother in a frock of rose beige lace with a shoulder spray of water lily in miniature, received the guests. Mrs. Murray, mother of Mr. Keith Murray, wore black georgette, relieved with a spray of red roses. Mrs. Deutscher, mother of Mr. L. A. Deutscher (bridegroom) wore black mariette with a shoulder spray of red gladioli. After the Loyal toast had been honoured, the chairman, in proposing the toast of the brides and bridegrooms, said that weddings seemed to be in the air this month, and stated that Mrs. Jackson deserved to be commended for the great sacrifice she was making, although she was giving her daughters to two fine young men. The toast was supported by Dr. R. M. Allport, who said he greatly appreciated the honor, and he extended best wishes to the couples on behalf of those assembled and said that they had the makings of very happy couples. "We wish you good health, good luck and prosperity from the bottom of our hearts, and we mean it," he said. The Rev. N. Lickiss (Newcastle), said he was sure they were all delighted in the uniting together of the young couples. In responding, Mr. Murray thanked the proposer of the toast, the parents of the bride, the chairman and all who had assisted in the event. Mr. Deutscher responded on behalf of himself and bride, thanking them all most sincerely. Mr. Murray proposed the toast of the bridesmaids, thanking them for their help. He was supported by Mr. Deutscher. Responses were made by Messrs MacMurray and S. Rains. The chairman announced that both bridegrooms had asked him to thank the people for their presents. Mr. J. J. Dowd proposed the toast of the brides' parents (Mr. and Mrs. Jackson). He said that when the history of Gulgong was written the names of Jackson and Campbell would largely be written. Mr. Baldwin proposed the toast of the bridegroom's (Mr. K. Murray) parents. He said that he was very sorry that Mr. Murray was not present, but he was sure the success of the event would cheer him in his illness. The toast of the parents (Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Deutscher) of the bridegroom (Mr. L. A. Deutscher) was proposed by Mr. Manning. In paying them a tribute he said that Mrs. Deutscher's family was a credit to her and that Mr. Deutscher had been a good father. Mr. Deutscher, in responding, referred to the beautiful sentiments expressed. He said he knew that Mr. and Mrs. Jackson would like him to say "Thank you." "Mrs Deutscher and I will now be in a lonely home," he said, "but it is a sacrifice we are glad to make." A response on behalf of Mrs. Murray was made by Mr. T. Hart, of Geurie. The Press was proposed by the chairman and responded to by Mr T. Amies ("Gulgong Advertiser" and "Mudgee Guardian") and Mr P. Barton ("Mudgee Mail.") Mr. K. Murray expressed appreciation for what had been done for him in Gulgong. At Doctor L. Tunley's request, Mr. J. Y. Sargent proposed the toast of the chairman. The chairman responded. The beautiful 3-decker wedding cakes which adorned the tables were made by Mr. Bert Sweeny, Baker, of Gulgong. A large number of congratulatory telegrams were received by both couples. Mr. and Mrs. Murray left on a car tour through Wellington, Sydney, Canberra and the South Coast, the bride wearing a suit, dust pink with navy mulchings. The bridegroom's gift to the bride was a platinum diamond watch. Mr. and Mrs. Deutscher left on a car tour embracing southern towns en route to Melbourne, the bride wearing a suit of mid blue with navy matchings. The bridegroom's gift to the bride was a diamond brooch.

DEATHS Mr. Thomas Duncan Campbell There passed away at Chatswood on Monday morning, October 25, Thomas Duncan Campbell, aged 87 years and 7 months, husband of the late Helen Mary Campbell, formerly of Gulgong and Manly. He was the eldest son of the late Dr. John Archibald Campbell, of Scotland and later of Australia. As a young man he settled on the land near Gulgong with his wife, and from wild bush land to virgin soil after years of selfless toil there emerged one of the prettiest, and most prolific grazing properties in the Gulgong district. He was one of the "whitest" and most Christian-like men God ever made, with always a bright and cheery word for all and one who had never done a wrong turn to anyone. He had a great and abounding faith in God and many a wayward city child was sent to the love and care of his good wife and himself to love back to goodness, health and new life. Besides his own family it might be said eight other children shared his hearth and home. He worked against odds where the stoutest heart might fail, but won through. Up till the time of his death he was a regular visitor to Gulgong, always travelling to and from Sydney unaccompanied. He had only been ill for one week prior to his death. His body was privately interred, far from his pioneering home, in the beautiful little Manly cemetery, Presbyterian portion, ever in sound of the sea and the rustle of gum trees. So passed one of the purest, bravest and most beautiful lives God ever made. Rev. Parker, of Chatswood, officiated at the graveside. He leaves two daughters, seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren to mourn their loss. His daughters are: Mesdames George W. J. Jackson ("Rollsville," Gulgong), Norman Burgess (Chatswood). He was predeceased by two other daughters, Mrs. Reg. O'Connor and Miss A. B. Campbell.

Note: Obituary

Obituary Mr. G. Jackson By the death of Mr. G. S. C. Jackson, aged 46 years, as reported in last “Monday’s Guardian”, last Wednesday‘s “Guardian”, Gulgong has lost one of its finest citizens. His funeral was one of the biggest ever seen in the town. A resident in Belmore Street for some years, he owned “Rollsville” grazing and farming property a few miles from the town. He was a son of Mrs. Jackson, of Bayly Street, and the late Mr. G. W. J. Jackson. A native of Gulgong, George was a pupil of Gulgong Central School and later attended Cranbrook at Edgecliff. He served his country during World War 2 as a ground staff member of the R.A.A.F., and was in service at Darwin. As a citizen of Gulgong, Mr. Jackson was a kindly soul who has left the residents the poorer for his passing. Those who knew him as a wonderful friend, who was always willing and anxious to assist anyone in need, particularly noted for the generous way in which he responded to all appeals to him. To quote Adam Lindsay Gordon, the late Mr. Jackson could well have fashioned his wife’s motto as: Kindness in another’s trouble. Courage is your own. Before a breakdown in health, George Jackson - as he was more often and respectfully referred to - was an active participant in the administration of various sporting activities, and playing golf, tennis and bowls. Deceased is survived by his wife, Valerie (daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Taylor, of “Galambine”, Cullenbone) and only daughter, Mary. Also surviving are his mother and his sisters: Mrs. Keith (Nella) Murray, of Gulgong; Mrs. Walter (Madge) Jackson, of Birriwa; Mrs. Jim (Gem) Croft, of “Talinga”, Gulgong. Funeral arrangements carried out by Messrs. Eastaugh and Carroll, including services conducted by Rev. de Dear (Church of England), Masonic Lodge and the sub-branch of the R.S.L. and a guard of honour, formed by members of the R.S.L.
