OBITUARY – MR, GEORGE ANDREW GILL

Another old pioneer of the Manning has gone to his long rest, in the person

of Mr. George Andrew Gill of Dumaresque Island, at the age of 77 years. He

first became ill some three or four moths ago, following a severe attack of

influenza, and was treated for a time in Nurse Cummins’ private hospital,

Taree. He recovered sufficiently to be able to return to his home, but a

reoccurrence of the trouble caused him to again enter hospital, first at Nurse

Cummins’ Hospital and then at Mayo, where he died. He was very ill on

Friday last and it was thought that the end was approaching, but he rallied.

However on Sunday morning he collapsed about 5 o’clock and passed away

about 8. The late Mr. Gill was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Gill, of

Dumaresque Island, although he was born at Cundle, His parents shortly

afterwards moved to the island where he had lived ever since. There were few

men on the Lower Manning better known than Mr. George Andrew Gill. He

never married. Following farming all his life, he always found time to devote a

portion to civic duties. He was an original member of the Cundle Natural

Provident Society, which later changed its name to Cundle School of Arts,

and he remained a member of the institute till the end, and held office at

various times. He was a great lover of horse flesh and won enough blue

ribbons with his stock they were always top notchers - to cover two horses

from end to end. He was a regular exhibitor at the Taree and Wingham shows,

and his tastes in that direction were not alone confined to heavy draughts,

for a couple of years ago he won a prize for a galloway hunter at Taree.He

was a member of the M.R.A. and H Association from the time it was startedas

a ploughing show many years ago, and for very many years he was a member

of the committee, until age compelled him to have a spell. However,

throughout the years he was an ardent supporter of the Taree show, and

during his sickness he made many enquires as to how it was progressing. For

very many years he was a trustee of the Dawson cemetery, and was mainly

responsible in having the road to there dedicated a public road. He was

appointed to the Commission of the Peace quite a long time ago. In his

business and private life, no one ever had cause to question the integrity of

the late Mr. George Andrew Gill, for his decisions were made after due

deliberation and once made he adhered to them. His word was his bond in

business, and his private life was such as ensured for him the high regard

and esteem of the community.

Brothers and sisters surviving are: Messrs, E. J. Gill (Dumaresque Island),

and David Manning Gill (Kolodong), Mrs King (Sydney), Mrs

Carpenter (Waitara), Mrs A. B. I Walker (wife of a retired manager of the

Commercial Bank, who over 40 years ago was attached to the Taree branch of

that bank, and who now lives in Sydney), Mrs T R Newton (Chatham) and

Miss Mary Louisa Gill (Taree). One brother (Henry Gill) died in Sydney some

years ago, and the following sisters are dead; Mrs David Cowan (who died in

Cundle a month ago), her husband having been a teacher, once in charge of

Wherrol Flat school, Miss Sarah Gill (who died while a young girl), and

Miss Laura Gill (who died as the result of an accident). The funeral took place

yesterday (Tuesday), leaving the Church of England, Cundle, for the Dawson

cemetery at 1.30. The Rev. Walter Latham officiated. Mr. W. T. Howard was

the undertaker.
