OBITUARY

Widespread sorrow was occasioned in Castlemaine when the death was announced of Mr Joseph Anderson last Monday. Mr Anderson was a native of Castlemaine, being born here 72 years ago. He was well known throughout the district as a successful grazier and was regarded as an authority on agricultural matters and associated projects. His was a bright and jovial personality and his presence in company were welcomed and appreciated by all sections of the community. He was actively associated with the Castlemaine Agricultural Society and was a recognized breeder and judge of first quality sheep. For many years Mr Anderson had a grazing property in the Diggers Rest District, and whilst there entered public life as a councilor of the Melton Shire, and was responsible for tree planting scheme on the main Calder Highway, which today is a beautiful tribute to his memory, and his foresight as a public man. On his return Castlemaine district Mr Anderson again entered pastoral and grazing pursuits, and was the holder of various district properties which he conducted with success. Some years ago he was the fortunate finder of a nugget of gold over ?oz on the roadway from Wattle Flat to Muckleford, and this resulted in a mild gold rush to that location, but other results obtained there were patchy and high hopes of a new and attractive gold field did not materialize. Mr Anderson interested himself in many public bodies, being a former member of the Benevolent Home Committee, the Board of Management of the Presbyterian Church, the North School Committee, and was a member of the Castlemaine Old Boys. In his earlier life he was for 20 years on the staff of the Penal Department.
The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon, and was of a private nature, the interment being made in the family grave in the Bulla Cemetery. The cortege moved from his private residence, 'Kismet', North Castlemaine.

A PIONEER PASSES

DEATH OF MRS CROW OF MALMSBURY

The death of Malmsbury's "Grand Old Woman", Mrs Elizabeth Crow, at her residence, Mollison Street, Malmsbury, on Sunday, 25th August, within a few week of her ninety second birthday, leaves a breach in the life of the community that can never be healed. Born in Arbroath (Scotland) on the 16th September 1837 (the year in which Victoria the Good became Queen of England) and losing her parents before she was twelve, Mrs Crow lived with an aunt, working in a cotton factory until, at the age of nineteen she married and in 1859 her husband and she, lured by the gold fever, came to Victoria. The young couple settled in Taradale, removing to Newstead for a short time and then returning to Taradale. There being no Presbyterian Church in Taradale, Mrs Cow joined the Anglican Church and there her children were baptised. Her last appearance in public was at the seventieth anniversary of Holy Trinity, Taradale, celebrated only a few weeks ago, where she was one of the oldest and most honoured of those who came back on this historic occasion. Later Mr and Mrs Crow went to Queenscliff to keep house for their son (Mr C B Crow). Mr Crow, senior, died in 1900. After a few years widowhood Mrs Crow went to South Africa to visit her daughter, Mrs C E Lane at Johannesburg and on her return in 1904 settled for the remaining years of her life in Malmsbury with her son (Mrs David Crow).

Mrs Crow's ideal of life was that of service, she was a devoted member of the Presbyterian Church and the doors of her heart were always open to any appeal in connection with the activities of the church. Her missionary never suffered any eclipse and she was invariably present at all the meetings of the local branch of the PWMU and no conference of the Macedon Presbytery was considered a success if the highly honoured veteran Mrs Crow was absent there from. No warmer welcome could be wished in Malmsbury than that she gave to the visiting preacher, and every avenue of church service, including teacher of the Sunday School which was filled by her admirably. The call of charity never found her ears stopped. The Kyneton Hospital had no warmer friend nor more wholehearted friend in Malmsbury than she. Her means were small but she gave will royal largeness. Her services to the Kyneton Hospital are recognised by her name appearing on the Hospital Honour Roll of Life Governors. During the war she spent herself without stint for the soldiers. Her knitting needles were never still and her assistance to all patriotic appeals always forthcoming. After the war Malmsbury Red Cross did not disband and she remained a member, working for the Kyneton Hospital. Mrs Crow leaves a whole countryside to mourn her. The high esteem in which she was held was borne eloquent testimony some two years ago when the Macedon Presbyterian Women's Missionary Association entertained her at tea on her 90th Birthday in the church hall. Men and women from all over the Presbytery assembled to do her honor and felt themselves honoured by their association with her.

Malmsbury was greatly enriched during the past twenty five years by her little acts if kindness, by her kindly tender words and by her ennobling example. As one thinks of Mrs Elizabeth Crow one can be glad and thankful to have known and appreciated her and can but remember that -
The sweetest lived are those to duty wed,
Whose deeds both great and small
Are close knit strands of an unbroken thread,
Where love ennobles all
The world may sound no trumpets
Ring no bells
The book of life the shining record tells.

To her family and especially to her son David Crow, of Malmsbury, the deepest of sympathy will be extended. These include Mr William Crow, of Western Australia, and Mr Frank Crow of Footscray; Mrs C E Lane, of Johannesburg (South Africa) and Mrs W H Barrie of Footscray; two sons (Messrs George and Charles Crow), predeceased their mother.

Mrs Crow will be interred today (Tuesday) in the Queenscliff Cemetery where her husband is buried.

OBITUARY

Mrs Elizabeth Ross

In the passing of Mrs Elizabeth Ross, Castlemaine loses a greatly loved lady who served the town in many ways, and who honored all the calls of good citizenship and Christian living in a quiet, dignified and charming manner. Castlemaine residents will remember with affection and regard one who triumphed in rendering noble service in her day and generation.

Mrs Ross was born at Franklinford. She married Mr James Ross, of Picola, who predeceased her some years ago. To her sisters and relatives the heartfelt sympathy of a host of friends will be extended. Although Mrs Ross had not enjoyed good health, her passing was unexpected, and when her death, which occurred at her residence, 331 Barker Street, Castlemaine, last Thursday evening, was announced, universal sorrow was occasioned.

A special service was held in the Castlemaine Baptist Church on Saturday afternoon, and was attended by a large and very representative gathering of mourners. Pastor H G Brice conducted the service and paid tribute to one who had contributed such valued service and was a regular and devoted worshipper of the Church in its many and various activities. Her advice to the Guides had been, "Do what you can will you can." Girl Guides assembled at the church and the polished casket was covered with the guides colors and emblem. The casket was borne from the hearse into the church by Messrs G Millott, G J Kidman, H Slingo and L Slingo, who also carried the casket from the church between ranks of Girl Guides who lined the approaches.

The remains were conveyed by train to Melbourne for cremation at the Fawkner Crematorium on Tuesday morning. Relatives and friends from various parts were present at the chapel, included among those present were Mrs T C Stewart (president of Castlemaine Free Kindergarten) and Mrs Parkinson (District Commissioner of the Girl Guides). Rev Gordon Wilson, of Coburg Presbyterian Church (brother-in-law of Mrs Ross) and Pastor H G Brice, of Castlemaine Baptist Church, conducted the service at the Crematorium Chapel.

Born: abt 1865 Moama, New South Wales, Australia
Died: 17 September 1936 - Rossleigh, Picola, Victoria, Australia

The Herald (Nathalia) - Tuesday, 22 September 1936

OBITUARY

CR JAMES ROSS

The tragic sudden death of Cr Ross James from a heart attack in the early hours of Thursday morning at his home, "Rossleigh", Picola, caused widespread regret. Regarded as one of the best public men that part of the shire has had, his passing leaves a place that will be hard to fill. Only on Monday previously he had attended the meeting of the Numurkah Shire Council and received the congratulation of his fellow councilors on his reelection to that body, and on Wednesday night he was present at a social farewell tendered to Mr G Murdock in the Barmah Hall, when he appeared to be in his customary health and spirits.

Cr Ross was born at Echuca seventy-one years ago. His early life was passed on the Murray fishing and falling red gum timber for the saw mills of these days. Fifty years ago he selected 100 acres of land in the parish of Barmah and being a man of very progressive ideas he rapidly made good, and from time to time added to his original holding until today "Rossleigh" is a property of about 2000 acres.

When the residents of the district acquired the Barmah state Forest as an area on which to depasture their stock Cr Ross was elected one of the first managers, a position he filled until the Forest Commission assumed control of the grazing rights about 20 years ago. His knowledge of the forest and the effect flooding had on timber was extensive. Recently when the Minister of Forests (Mr Lind) and Chairman of the Forest Commission (Mr Galbraith) visited the forest to make a personal investigation of the damage being done by flooding, Cr Ross expressed the opinion that the proposal to put in a block at what is known as "the Gulf" should only be done if no better solution could be found - an opinion in which Mr Lind and Mr Galbraith concurred.

Cr Ross was first elected to the Numurkah Shire Council in 1906, and no councilor could have served the ratepayers more zealously. He was twice president of the shire. During his first term he entertained Sir John Fuller, the then Governor of Victoria, who visited Numurkah, and it was during his second term that he welcomed another Governor of the State in Lord Somers on the occasion of his visit to Nathalia to unveil the War Memorial. It was during his first term as president that the electric light service for Nathalia was inaugurated, and it was his wife who switched on the lights in connection with that ceremony.

Of a generous, charitable and hospitable nature, he derived great pleasure in assisting the needy, while his integrity and scrupulous honesty won for him the regard and esteem of all whom he came into contact.

The funeral to the Barmah Cemetery on Friday was the largest that has been seen in the district and among those present were the Numurkah Shire Council, the officers and very old friends. The service was conducted by the Rev R J Philip (Methodist) and the Rev Wilson (Presbyterian, of Woomelang).

Cr Ross was twice married and for his wife the greatest sympathy has been expressed in her bereavement.
