Today's obituary is for my 3rd Great Uncle James Alfred Guymer. James (also known as Fred) was born c.1858 in New South Wales, Australia, the son of my 3rd Great Grandfather Alfred Guymer (see more here) and his wife Hannah Maria nee Jones. He married my 3rd Great Aunt Hannah Dolphin Jones from my Jones/Quigg line (see more here and here) c.1879 in New South Wales, Australia. James died on the 6th December 1892 at Baw Baw, New South Wales, three days after his wife Hannah leaving their only known child Ada an orphan (more information on Ada Guymer can be found here). James was buried on the 7th December 1892 at Thurlow Methodist Church Cemetery, Baw Baw which is also known as Baw Baw Cemetery (see here).

Obituary.
We regret to record the death of Mr. J.A. Guymer of Rockleigh, Baw Baw, which occurred yesterday morning about half-past twelve. The circumstances surrounding the death are very painful. On Saturday last Mrs. Guymer died from hepatic abscess, and this sad event preying on the mind of her husband, who was in a very delicate state of health, no doubt hastened his death. Mr. Guymer, who was a member of the Goulburn division, Sons of Temperance, was about thirty four years of age, and leaves a daughter of thirteen.
