GULGONG DISTRICT NEWS

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.

OBITUARY Mrs. Jean C. Jackson The death of Jean Clydsdale Jackson, occurring at her home on March 21, aged 81. She was the wife of the late Mr. G. W. J. Jackson of “Rollsville,” Gulgong, and mother of Nella, (Mrs. K. A. Murray), Madge (Mrs. W. J. Jackson), George (deceased) and Gem (Mrs. R. J. Croft). The late Mrs. Jackson was born in the Gulgong District and lived there all her life, except for a short period of retirement at Manly, due to her late husband’s ill-health. She was the eldest daughter of the late Thomas and Helen Campbell, pioneers of the Gulgong District. Two of her sisters predeceased her some years ago, but at the time of her death her remaining sister (Mrs. N. C. D. Burgess) was staying with her. Mrs. Jackson’s life was one of service and sacrifice to all with whom she was connected and she was always willing to render assistance when necessary. She was a foundation member of the Gulgong branch of the Red Cross and gave valuable service during world wars I and II. She was also a foundation member of the Gulgong branch of the Country Women’s Association and the Gulgong Golf Club and had held a driver’s licence for 51 years up till the time of her death. She had a great and abounding faith in God and in her younger days took a real part in the Church life of the district. She was buried beside her late husband and son, in the Gulgong Cemetery, following a service at St. Luke’s Church of England by the Rev. Dallas Hinds. The lesson was read by the Rev. Mr. Howat, (Presbyterian Minister). The big number of mourners at the Church and graveside and the masses of beautiful flowers, bore testimony to the regard in which the late Mrs. Jackson was held. The Pall-bearers were her Grandsons, Messrs. Leslie and Ian Deutscher, Ian Mate and William Sills. Funeral arrangements were by Eastaugh and Carroll. Mudgee Guardian, Wednesday 23 April 1969, p. 4.
