DEATH OF MR
J. J. MEDHURST.
The death in
the Dangar Cottage Hospital yesterday of Mr Jonathan James Medhurst, at the age of 76, has
removed from the district a highly respected resident, who leaves a large
circle of friends and relatives to mourn his passing.
Deceased was
born at Wollombi, and had
followed farming pursuits in the Hunter Valley all his life. The last 30 years
he had been actively interested in grazing at Howe's Valley, and only retired a
few years ago, when he took up residence in Kelso.
Only about a
week ago he became ill, and his fight against severe pneumonia was unavailing.
He leaves a
widow, five sons, and seven, daughters, viz., John, Laban, and, Harold (Putty),
Herbert (Singleton),and Roen (Cessnock); Mesdames W. Merrick (Cessnock), J.
Merrick (Broke), W. Taylor (Glenridding). H. Taylor (Singleton), J. Medhurst (Riverstone), Miss I. Medhurst (Sydney), and Miss
R. Medhurst (Glenridding).
The funeral
left deceased's residence, Carrington-street, Kelso, at 3 p.m. this afternoon
for the Church of England cemetery, Whittingham.
