Fatal Accident at Sutton Forest.

IT is with feelings of deep regret that we (Scrutineer) report the sudden death of Mr. J.D. Jones, of Sutton Forest, which took place on Friday last. It appears that at 10 o'clock on that day he got into his buggy opposite his store to drive to Cross Roads, and after proceeding about 100 yards the horse shied at a piece of newly-formed road, and in doing so shook deceased somewhat that he let go the reins, whereupon the horse bolted along the side of the road, upsetting the buggy and precipitating Jones on to his head and shoulder. There being a number of persons who saw the accident, deceased was quickly brought to his residence, and Dr. Madden was at once called in, and did all in his power to alleviate his sufferings, but with no avail, as he expired at about 6:30 the same day from blood on the brain and internal injuries. An inquest was held by Mr. C.L. Nicholson, J.P. (coroner), when a verdict of accidental death was returned. Deceased was 65 years of age and had been a resident of the district for over 25 years.

FATAL BUGGY ACCIDENT AT SUTTON FOREST.-
 

It is with feelings of deep regret that we report the death of Mr. J.D. Jones of Sutton Forest, which took place on Friday 22nd instant. It appears that at ten o'clock on that morning he got into his buggy opposite his store to drive to Cross Roads, and after proceeding about a hundred yards the horse shied at a piece of newly-formed road and in doing so shook deceased somewhat so that he let go the reins, whereupon the horse bolted along the side of the road upsetting the buggy, precipitating Jones on to his head and shoulder. There being a number of persons who saw the accident, deceased was quickly brought to his residence, and Dr. Madden was at once called in, and did all in his power to alleviate his suffering, but with no avail as the deceased expired at about half-past six the same day, from blood on the brain and internal injuries. An inquest was held by Mr. C.L. Nicholson, coroner, when a verdict of accidental death was returned. Deceased was sixty-five years of age and had been a resident of the district for over twenty-five years, and for the past five years had carried on a store at Sutton Forest. Deceased was universally respected by all who knew him, and great sympathy is expressed for his wife and four children, all of whom are grown up. His remains were interred in the Church of England cemetery, Sutton Forest, on Sunday in the presence of a large number of friends. - Scrutineer.

The Kendall Children.

I started this post a while ago and was going to finally finish and post it yesterday however our four grandchildren came over and I got sidetracked.  Our grandchildren range in age now from six down to one;  they are so full of life (each of them lights up a room when they enter it) and we feel extremely blessed to have them in our lives.  After spending the afternoon researching this post, their arrival made this tragedy even more poignant for me and so I appreciated their company even more than usual and hugged them a bit tighter too!  This morning I woke up to a cold, wet and windy Wagga day and the thought of three little girls out in August weather like this, in light weight dresses with no shoes or jumpers impacted on me even more. Those poor babies! One of the girls was found still clasping her doll that she had carried with her over the whole tragic journey. When my husband and I were looking around the Wagga Wagga Monumental Cemetery some time ago we came across a very sad he

My First Fleet Connection - Mary Turner (aka Mary Wilkes/Wilks)

My 5th Great Grandmother Mary Turner (also known as Mary Wilks/Wilkes) is my earliest known and documented Australian relative.  She was tried at Worcester on  5th March 1785 and sentenced to seven years. Mary arrived on the ship Lady Penrhyn   in 1788.   It seems the 5th of March was not an auspicious trial date for Mary in 1785 or later in 1789!   On the 5th  March 1789 she was tried for stealing six cabbages from the garden of William Parr, she was found guilty and sentenced to 50 lashes.  Later in March 1789 she also was in trouble for her testimony in the trial of  Royal Marines accused of stealing from the government stores  (six of them were found guilty and executed) in which it was believed by some that she had perjured herself.  Mary was sent to Norfolk Island in 1790 on board the ship Sirius .  Apparently she stayed on Norfolk Island until 1793 when she returned to Port Jackson on board the ship Kitty .   Her de facto relationship with David Batty (a Third Fleet convict who

Time for a happy dance! Well kind of .....poor Catherine!

Brickwall knocked down at last!  Catherine Rhall was murdered by her partner James Baker Worldon on the 14th February 1855 at Beechworth.  The Trove articles do involve my 4th Great Grandparents James Baker Worldon and Catherine Rhall!  I guess the family tree book will need updating now ;) I looked up the following record from the Public Record of Victoria and bingo the details match my ancestors records.  Catherine Rhall's fate is now known at last, she was murdered by her partner and he was only sentenced to two years imprisonment for it and by the look of it was released early in 1856!  I also found out he used the alias Milbank, which will give me new avenues for future research.
