DEATH OF MR. EDWARD GARSED. Bendigo Advertiser (Vic. : 1855 - 1918) Monday 17 August 1885 p 2 Article

DEATH OF MR. EDWARD GARSED. Another of the oldest of Bendigonians has passed away in the person of Mr. Edward Garsed, whose death has been expected for several months past. The sad event occurred last evening at his residence in Howard Place. He had for very many years suffered from ill-health, having been a perfect martyr to indigestion. He had tried repeated changes, but it became apparent nearly twelve months ago that any effort to resist the effects of his complaint must be hopeless. His sufferings were very acute, but he bore them with extraordinary fortitude. Yesterday his death was hourly expected, and he expired at nine o'clock last night in the presence of his widow and niece. He was attended by Dr. James Eadie, junr., who was unremitting in his care of the patient. Dr. Eadie thoroughly understood the complaint from which Mr. Garsed suffered, and did all that medical skill could suggest. During the last few months over which his illness extended Mr. Garsed received the utmost kindness and attention from many devoted friends, and Mr. Maurice Moran and Mr. R. F. Howard were especially active in ensuring for him every comfort. Mr. Edward Garsed was born at Elland, in Yorkshire, in 1828. His father was a woollen manufacturer in that town, and carried on a large business, which is now in the hands of Mr. Edward Garsed's brothers. Before coming to the colony Mr. Garsed served as an apprentice in a chemist's shop. With his brother William he set out for the colony in 1849 in the ship John Munn, bound for Sydney. Through stress of weather the vessel was driven into Western Port Bay, but was subsequently able to proceed on to Sydney. Mr William Garsed is at present manager of the Bank or Adelaide, at Kapunda, South . The subject of this notice upon arriving in Sydney, became manager for Mr. Foss, a chemist in that city, but he subsequently went over to Hobart where he occupied a similar position in the establishment of Mr. Wilkinson, a well-known chemist there, since deceased. The attraction of the goldfields in induced him to come to Bendigo, and upon his arrival in this district in 1852, he became secretary to Commissioner Gilbert. This was previous to the appointment of Mr. Wilkinson as gold commissioner. While in this position Mr. Garsed had charge of as much as 20,000 ozs of gold at one time in a tent, previous to the escort taking it to .

Pioneers of Bendigo compiled by Barbara Poustie 2020 https://www.bendigohistory.com/pioneersofbendigo/ Page 5 of 35 Upon the removal of Commissioner Gilbert he relinquished his connection with the office, and entered into business on his own account as a chemist at an establishment in McCrae-street. He subsequently built premises in Howard Place, and carried on business there. In 1857, upon the division of the Sandhurst borough into wards, Mr. Garsed came forward as a candidate for Darling Ward against Mr. Jacob Cohn, with the result that he was returned, the voting being Mr. Ed. Garsed 269 votes, Mr. Jacob Cohn 141. Upon his term of three years being up in August 1870, Mr. Garsed was again returned, polling 253 votes against 208 recorded for Mr. Buckley. Mr. Garsed was a very active and energetic councillor, and it was only through ill-health that he was compelled to retire, at the close of his term of office in 1873. In 1872, upon Mr. Angus Mackay accepting office as Minister of Mines in the Francis Government, Mr. Garsed was brought forward in opposition, but at the election he was defeated by a large majority, polling only 504 votes against 1,409 recorded for Mr. Mackay. Upon his retirement from the council in 1873, and his retirement from business at the same time, Mr. Garsed went to Tasmania for the purpose of recruiting his health in the mild climate of that colony. He remained there for a considerable time, but not finding that the change produced the beneficial effects desired, he took a trip to England. His visit extended over a period of twelve months, and he returned considerably improved. On his return he went to Koondrook where he owned some land, and carried on business for some time as a chemist. Life in the country, did not agree with him, however, and he felt a desire for more active employment in the city. The lease on his premises in Howard Place having just closed, he resumed business there. In Koondrook, however, and the Kerang district generally, he was very much esteemed, and rendered much service to the residents there as a justice of the peace and by his medical skill. The residents presented him with a handsome watch in recognition of his services in these capacities. It should be mentioned that on his departure from Sandhurst in 1873 his services were recognised in a similar manner, by the presentation of a valuable tea and coffee service by a number of the citizens. Mr. Garsed's connection with the council has been referred to, but he identified himself with many local movements and institutions besides. In the early days when the excitement throughout the goldfield rendered the occupations of the diggers so hazardous, the necessity for a hospital was every day made more evident. The medical men in the district were powerless to render the good that was needed, and in May, 1853, they summoned to their aid the clergy and prominent residents of the city. A canvass for subscriptions was organised, and £646 was obtained, a sum which was supplemented by a Government grant of £500. The result of these efforts was that a slab and weatherboard building was erected on a site between Barnard and McKenzie-streets, and the spot is yet known by old residents as Hospital Hill.

Dr. Backhaus, and the Revs. Messrs. Raston and Searle, Drs. McCrea, Tierney and Wall, Messrs. A. Frazer, J. Wilkinson, R. O'Connor, John Edhouse, E. N. Emmett and Wm. Burrell.

Mr. Garsed was also a member of the first board of management. He was also a founder of the Mechanics' Institute, and a prominent member for many years of the Masonic body. He was latterly a trustee of the Savings Bank, and about two years ago was appointed returning officer for Sandhurst in place of Mr. J. H. Abbott, who was about to visit England. Mr. Garsed was married in 1855 to Miss Snee, (Slee) sister of Major Snee (Slee) of Castlemaine, and Mrs. Garsed survives him. He leaves no family, one child having died in infancy. Mr. Garsed was a very highly respected Bendigonian. He was a man of sterling honor, and was charitable to a fault, and his death at the age of 57 years will be mourned by a very large circle of friends. The funeral is announced to move from the late residence of the deceased on Wednesday afternoon. White Hills Cemetery MON A2

A PIONEER VICTORIAN REEFER. MR. WILLIAM GIBBS. The Bendigo Independent (Vic. : 1891 - 1918) Wednesday 19 June 1907 p 3 Article

A PIONEER VICTORIAN REEFER. MR. WILLIAM GIBBS. Bendigo has lost one of its oldest inhabitants and one of its oldest pioneers, and the State one of its earliest colonists, by the death yesterday, at the advanced age of 83 years, of Mr. William Gibbs, of Mt. Korong road, Ironbark. Mr. Gibbs, who was a man of fine and strong physique — he was familiarly known as "Solid Gibbs" in the early days, was a typical pioneer. Till a few months ago he did not know what illness was. At 80 years of age he could walk a mile and play a game of bowls with most men. About 8 months ago, however, he had a seizure which caused his friends uneasiness. But he recovered, and was as "lively as a cricket" again. On May 18, when he celebrated his 83rd birthday, he walked into the city and sat for his photograph – he did the same thing 10 years earlier – and every day was able to take his walk. Within the last few weeks, however, he began to be conscious of shortness of breath after walking, though last Monday night, when he was visited by Mrs. R. H. S. Abbott, his daughter, he seemed as though death would not come his way for a long time. Others who also saw and spoke with him on Monday, including Mr. Miller, manager of the Central Victoria mine, were pleased to notice that he was in such good spirits. But yesterday morning when the housekeeper knocked at his door, she got no response, and, entering, found that death had come – that Mr. Gibbs had died apparently in his sleep. A certificate of death from heart failure was given by Dr. Atkinson. The late Mr. Gibbs was 83 years old, and was born in Buckingham, one of the midland counties. As a lad he was employed in the railway carriage works of Messrs. Wright and Sons Limited – a great establishment, where the majority of the carriages used on the Victorian Railways until recent years were turned out. At the age of 24, that is, in 1848, he landed in Melbourne. Melbourne was then a straggling town and the State was practically a wilderness. Early in 1852, when the cry of "Gold" echoed everywhere, owing to the startling discoveries in Bendigo during the past month or two, he turned his attention toward the field and worked on it with considerable success. Then the Ballarat, and later the McIvor rushes, attracted him. But after a short stay at each he returned to Bendigo, and re-commenced the search for gold here.

Pioneers of Bendigo compiled by Barbara Poustie 2020 https://www.bendigohistory.com/pioneersofbendigo/ Page 11 of 35 He achieved his greatest success on the famous Victoria Hill, where, with a puddling machine, he and the late Messrs. James Annear and George Edwin Wells, who, with a few others, were styled the "Victoria Hill Crowd", unearthed many thousands of ounces. When alluvial digging was superseded by quartz mining, the late Mr. J. A. Woodward, and others, joined the party, and they obtained some magnificent returns — as high as 140oz to the load — from their claims. These included the Midway and Midway No. 2 (now in the Great Central Victoria), the Adventure (a very rich claim that alone gave £240,000 in dividends, and others now included in the Victoria Consols). Then there was the Energetic, now amalgamated with the Hercules, the Old Chum, the Alabama, United Hustler's and Redan, Empire, Sparrowhawk, and many more. Private parties of shareholders gave way about 1865 to public companies, and Mr. Gibbs held largely of the chares of the companies on the Victoria Hill and in the reefs on either side. He was at the time of his death a director of the Great Central Victoria, Victoria Consols, United Hustler's and Redan, and (previous to the amalgamation with the New Chum, and Victoria), of the Old Chum. Until the time of his death he stuck to the whole of the shares, drawing dividends and paying calls, as the case required. He was in no way a "speculator". He was an extensive holder in the Great Central Victoria stock, and it is said that up till about 12 months ago he visited the mine almost every morning. At the time stated he paid a 6d call, and then got rid of the whole lot at ls a share. He drew some magnificent dividends — and paid some almost equally large calls, and on the whole, in recent years, the ledger about balanced. He was a man of sterling character, and his word was always his bond. His wife died many years ago. He leaves a family of five, one daughter (Mrs. R. H. S. Abbott) and four sons: Mr. John Gibbs, who has been for many years on the staff of Anthony Hordon's, Sydney; Mr. Walter Gibbs, who holds a responsible position in the Bank of New South Wales in Melbourne; Mr. William Gibbs, J.P. manager of the Commercial Bank, at Shepparton; and Mr. Alfred Gibbs, manager of the Queensland National Bank, at Port Douglas, Queensland. The funeral takes place to the Bendigo Cemetery to-day, at 3 o'clock. Bendigo Cemetery MON E4

DEATH OF MR. W. GIBBS. EARLY PIONEER PASSES. Death has claimed another of Bendigo's earliest pioneers, in the person of Mr. William Gibbs, who passed away in his sleep during Monday night or early yesterday morning. As Mr. Gibbs did not arise early as was his invariable custom, the housekeeper (Miss Selina Hosking) went to his room, and was horrified to find Mr. Gibbs lying in bed dead. The deceased gentleman was apparently in his usual health when he retired to rest on Monday evening, and did not complain to the housekeeper of feeling unwell. For some time past, however, he suffered from an affection of the heart, and a few months ago had a sudden seizure, and fell on the verandah at his home. He recovered rapidly, however, and was able to get about as usual soon afterwards; in fact, he became so well that whatever fears were entertained by his relatives and friends were allayed. Evidently the deceased gentleman's heart failed him, and he passed peacefully away in his sleep. He was a particularly robust man, of massive proportions, and was known by his intimate friends as "Solid Gibbs." The late Mr. Gibbs, who was 83 years of age last month, was born at Buckingham, England. Before coming to Australia he was employed at Messrs. Wright and Sons' carriage factory, London, where most of the railway carriages used in the early days were constructed. Being of an adventurous disposition in his young days, he set out for Australia, arriving in Melbourne in 1848. He remained in the metropolis for a time, and in 1852 came to the Bendigo diggings, which were then in their infancy. He worked successfully during the first alluvial rush, and shortly afterwards proceeded to Ballarat, again in search of gold. After doing well on the Ballarat diggings, Mr. Gibbs returned to Bendigo, where, as a digger, fortune again favored him. He was one of the first to direct his attention to the quartz reefs of Bendigo, and acquired an extensive lease on the famous Victoria Hill, Ironbark. In conjunction with the late Messrs. G. Wells, Annear, and J. A. Woodward, he started operations. Shafts were put down into the quartz-bearing country, and rich gold was struck. The Midway and Midway No. 2 (now the Great Central Victoria) produced large quantities of gold, whilst another mine – the Adventurer and Advance (now the Victoria Consols) – was an equally successful enterprise. Mr. Gibbs amassed a fortune in a very short time. He took up shares in the Old Chum (now amalgamated with the New Chum and Victoria), and was a director of the company up to its close. He was also on the directorates of the Great Central Victoria, Victoria Consols, and United Hustlers and Redan up to the time of his death. The deceased gentleman was a well-known figure under the verandah, and a free speculator in many local mining ventures.

Pioneers of Bendigo compiled by Barbara Poustie 2020 https://www.bendigohistory.com/pioneersofbendigo/ Page 13 of 35 Being of a reserved disposition, he never became associated with any public movements. He was an old and prominent member of the Bendigo Bowling Club, in which he always took a lively interest. Four sons and a daughter survive, his wife having predeceased him very many years ago. The sons are Messrs. John Gibbs, who is connected with Messrs. Anthony Horden and Co.'s establishment in Sydney; Walter Gibbs, manager of the Bank of New South Wales, Melbourne; William Gibbs. J.P., manager of the Commercial Bank, Shepparton; and Alfred Gibbs, manager of the Queensland National Bank at Port Douglas. The only daughter is Mrs. Abbott, wife of Cr. R. H. S. Abbott, M.L.C. The funeral takes place to-day, moving from his late residence, 172 Mt. Korong road, Ironbark, to the Bendigo Cemetery at 3 p.m.

The deceased gentleman, who was well known in Bendigo mining circles as an investor, director, and auditor, had been in failing health for the past few years, but it was only about eighteen months ago that his condition became such as to compel him to resign his position as a member of the Bendigo Stock Exchange.

Although his health of late had steadily declined, it did not cause his relatives and friends any immediate anxiety. At about 6 o'clock on Monday evening he walked out to the kitchen and gave instructions for a newspaper to be procured for him to read. He then returned to his room, when he was taken suddenly ill, and his medical adviser (Dr. Jackson) was summoned by telephone. The doctor on his arrival found the sufferer to be past human aid, and he died a few minutes later, the immediate cause of death being heart failure.

The late Mr. Gill was born in Liverpool, England, and was 80 years of age at the time of his death. He came to Melbourne when 17 years old, and immediately on his arrival journeyed to the Bendigo goldfield. He commenced prospecting at White Hills with a puddling machine, and met with a good deal of success. After the goldfield had expanded, he speculated fairly extensively in mining, and subsequently became a member of the Bendigo Stock Exchange.

He acted as auditor for several mining companies until he was compelled to retire owing to failing health. For many years he was a director of the South New Moon Company, and at the time of his death he occupied the position of chairman of directors. He was present at the last meeting of the directors, which took place on 8th inst., and presided in his usual capable manner.

The deceased gentleman leaves a widow (formerly Miss Woodward, sister of the late Mr. J. Woodward, a former ex-Mayor of Bendigo, and aunt of Mr. T. N. Woodward, solicitor, of this city), also a family of seven daughters and one son, to mourn their sad loss. The members of the family are all grown up, and the only one at present resident in Bendigo is Mrs. E. T. Nicholls.

The funeral will take place this afternoon at 3 o'clock to the White Hills Cemetery.

DEATH OF MR. JOHN GLEN A VETERAN PRESSMAN. Bendigo Advertiser (Vic. : 1855 - 1918) Monday 29 August 1898 p 3 Article DEATH OF MR. JOHN GLEN. A VETERAN PRESSMAN.

It is with extreme regret that we have to announce, this morning, the death of Mr. John Glen, assistant editor of this journal, which event occurred last evening. By his demise the colony has lost one of its oldest journalists and the Bendigo Advertiser one of its most trusted and valued members of the literary staff. The deceased gentleman, who was 63 years of age at the time of his death, had been continuously connected with this journal for the past 33 years, a period of service which in itself shows the esteem in which he had been held by the proprietors. Although the fatal termination to his illness came as a shock to those more intimately associated with him, it was not entirely unexpected, as he had been confined to his bed with an internal complaint for about two months. Nevertheless the sad occurrence was naturally deeply felt by his family as well as by the staff of the newspaper to which he had been so long attached. His kindly nature and his rectitude of character had long made him popular with the general public, and had endeared him to those with whom he was daily associated. His long connection with The Advertiser was marked by loyal and faithful devotion to duty, and his death causes a vacancy which it will be difficult indeed to fill. A year ago he first showed signs of failing health and was under the care of Dr. Hugh Boyd. Although he rallied sufficiently to permit him to resume his duties he never thoroughly recovered, and two months back was compelled to abstain entirely from his official responsibilities. It was while a young man that Mr. Glen left his native town, Glasgow, Scotland, and journeyed to Victoria. After staying in Melbourne for some time he made his way to Bendigo and afterwards to Sydney Flat, where he first became associated with the Advertiser, acting as its correspondent for that portion of the goldfields. When the New Zealand rush set in in the early sixties Mr. Glen was one of the many Victorians who sailed away to try their fortunes, but even although he was far removed from Bendigo he did not forget The Advertiser, but contributed a series of letters containing his impressions of the islands. In the year 1865, after his return from New Zealand, he joined the commercial department of The Advertiser, and after acting as collector for some time became a member of the reporting staff. Subsequently he was appointed sub-editor, and for the past six years has carried out the duties of assistant editor.

Pioneers of Bendigo compiled by Barbara Poustie 2020 https://www.bendigohistory.com/pioneersofbendigo/ Page 19 of 35 Mr. Glen was a staunch supporter of outdoor sports, and won considerable distinction as a cricketer and bowler. He was from its earliest days a leading member of the Bendigo United Cricket Club, and till his retirement from the cricket field in 1884 did yeoman's service for the club. His forte was batting, and he regularly, year after year, occupied a prominent place in the batting records of the club. As a bowler, too, with his underarm "slows" he frequently proved very destructive. On his retirement from the cricket field he joined the Bendigo Bowling Club, and very soon achieved a foremost position as an exponent of the game of bowls. He gained the championship of the club for several seasons, and up till last season, when his health did not permit him to play regularly, was the most reliable player in the club. The deceased gentleman leaves a widow and family of six sons and one daughter. Five of the sons, two of whom are married, reside in Bendigo, while the sixth, Mr. Charles Glen, is away in South Africa. One son, Alfred, is station-keeper at the Temperance Fire Brigade depot. The funeral will be conducted privately, and will take place to the Bendigo Cemetery at 10.30 a.m. to-morrow. Bendigo Cemetery MON E1

DEATH OF MR. THOMAS GLOVER. Bendigo Advertiser (Vic. : 1855 - 1918) Friday 31 July 1885 p 3 Article DEATH OF MR. THOMAS GLOVER. The death of Mr. Thomas Glover, of (to whose illness we referred yesterday), will be learned with regret. That gentleman has been suffering for a very long time past of paralysis of the brain, and his death has been expected for several weeks past. He was a native of Antrim, in the north of Ireland, having been born about six miles from the town of Ballymena, a manufacturing town, where he was for some time a linen manufacturer. In that town he was acquainted with Mr. J. Hill, of Kangaroo Flat, and subsequent to Mr. Glover's arrival in Bendigo in the latter end of 1853, he was the first man sought for by Mr. Hill when he arrived on the goldfield in 1855. Mr. Glover first worked as a puddler at California Gully, and then at Golden Gully, where he had Mr. W. James as a companion. Later on, about the year 1861, Mr. Glover removed to Marong, where he established a farm, and built a fine residence. He took an active interest in the affairs of the shire, and was one of the first members of the council, a position which he held for several years. He was a very popular president, and on his retirement from that position, was presented with a testimonial by the councillors. Ill health compelled him to resign his position as councillor. He was married some years ago to the widow of Mr. John Gordon, and by the marriage became possessed of a large interest in Garden Gully United Company, which he has held over since. He had no children by this, his first wife, but leaves one child by the present Mrs. Glover. During his illness he was attended by Dr. Atkinson, and during the last few weeks his illness had been of such a character that he had been in an insensible condition. He was of a quiet and retiring disposition, and very straightforward. He was very generous, and his residence, "Park View," has been of such a character in every respect as to excite the admiration of all visitors. The funeral is announced to move from his late residence for the Marong cemetery, at 3 o'clock this afternoon.

DEATH OF MR. WILLIAM GOUDGE. Bendigo Advertiser (Vic. : 1855 - 1918) Saturday 8 May 1875 p 2 Article

DEATH OF MR. WILLIAM GOUDGE. It is with deep regret that we have to announce the death, at the early age of forty-three years, of Mr. William Goudge, the senior partner of Messrs. Goudge Bros., of this city, who expired yesterday afternoon at three o'clock at his residence, at Emu Creek. Mr. Goudge was a very old citizen of Sandhurst, and will be well remembered in past days as a member of the firm of Goudge and Sibley, tanners and curriers. Some weeks ago he met with an accident while driving homewards from Sandhurst in his buggy, when the horse kicked him severely on the leg, and although little fear at the time was felt as to the result of the accident, dangerous symptoms after a time set in, and though excellent surgical assistance was obtained, mortification intervened, and it then became evident that his illness must shortly have a fatal termination. Of a most genial disposition, the deceased gentleman held a very high position in the estimation of his friends. He was always ready in any case of real need to lend substantial assistance, and the news of his death will be received with deep sorrow by a numerous circle of friends. In the prime of a life which has always been an active and useful one, he has passed away only too soon. He was attended in his last moments by many personal friends, who had the highest respect and esteem for his character and excellent qualities. His medical attendant was Dr. MacGillivray. In Mr. Goudge we have lost an admirable and sterling citizen. He leaves a widow and young family to lament his loss. His funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon in the Sandhurst Cemetery, starting from his residence, at Emu Creek, at one o'clock. Bendigo Cemetery MON E4

DEATH OF MR. THOMAS GOULD. Bendigo Advertiser (Vic. : 1855 - 1918) Thursday 5 January 1882 p 2 Article

DEATH OF MR. THOMAS GOULD. It is with feelings of deep regret that we record the decease of another of our oldest and best respected residents of Sandhurst, Mr. Thomas Gould, of Gould's Buildings, Bull-street. The deceased gentleman had arrived at the advanced age of 81 years, having been born in Bristol in the first year of the present century. For a long time past Mr. Gould was confined to his house, owing to weakness, consequent on his great age. Dr. Hinchcliff was, up till recently, in attendance, and subsequently Drs. Atkinson and Cruikshank, but medical aid failed to restore the worn-out constitution, and death took place about half-past one o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. Gould arrived on the Bendigo goldfield early in 1853, and entered into business as gold buyer for the then well-known firm of Nicholas and Harris, in View Point. He subsequently went into business for himself, and entered largely in gold mining, his operations proving very successful. In conjunction with a Mr. Taylor, he was the second party to commence quartz mining on the Victoria reef, of which the late Mr. Ballerstedt was the pioneer. Gould and Taylor's claim afterwards came into the possession of the late Mr. Dougal McDougall, and is now, we believe, included in the lease of the Victoria Consols Company. In addition to his speculations in mining, he invested in property in Bull-street, Pall Mall, and other parts of the city. Some time ago he sold a considerable portion of his property at very satisfactory prices. He did not at any time take an active part in public affairs, but his unassuming manners gained him many friends. He was a member of the Old Bendigonians' Society, from amongst whom so many old faces are now missing. Mrs. Gould expired several years ago, leaving a family of six, one son and two daughters, all of whom survive their last parent. The son is Mr. John B. Gould, well known in business circles in Sandhurst. Two of the daughters are unmarried, and resided with their father, whilst the remaining three, who are married, live in Melbourne, their respective husbands being Mr. Pollard, engaged in the Railway department, Mr. Symonds, of the Colonial Bank, and Mr. H. Taylor, of the General Post-office. The funeral takes place this afternoon at half-past four o'clock. White Hills Cemetery. Position unknown.

DIES IN SOUTH GIPPSLAND. The Bendigo Independent (Vic. : 1891 - 1918) Thursday 25 July 1907 p 3 Article OBITUARY. MR. JOHN GOYNE, J.P. DIES IN SOUTH GIPPSLAND. The sad intelligence reached Bendigo yesterday morning that Mr. John Goyne, J.P., the veteran ex-member of the Huntly Shire Council and well-known old resident of Epsom, passed away, while in search of health. He died at Pakenham, South Gippsland, at half-past 4 o'clock yesterday. Mr. Goyne had been in indifferent health for many months and a fortnight ago, taking a hint from his medical adviser, he left for Pakenham. The deceased was born at St. Agnes, Cornwall, in 1826, and was 80 years of age. In his early days he gained much practical experience in mining in Cornwall and in 1853, when 27 years of age, sailed in the ship Graham for Australia, being attracted hither by the gold discoveries. He arrived in Victoria in 1854, and proceeded to Creswick, where he dug for the precious metal for two months, after which he went to Ballarat. He secured good returns up to the date of the memorable Eureka riots. He was an eyewitness of that unfortunate engagement between the oppressed diggers and the military forces. It is recorded that an acquaintance occupying an adjoining claim and tent roused him out of bed early on the historical Sunday morning, and when he hastily left his tent, he saw the Government troops marching to the stockade behind which the diggers were encamped. He saw the engagement begin and in less than half an hour it was over. Soon after this he returned to Creswick, where he continued digging for six months, and then hurried away to the new rush at Daisy Hill (Amherst). He remained there during the winter of 1855 and did fairly well and then tramped with others to Fryers Town, after which he came to Bendigo, arriving here just a year and 10 months after landing on Victorian soil. He followed the occupation of a miner at Epsom and White Hills and other localities for two years and in 1858, having secured sufficient capital, he started his well-known stamper grating works at Epsom. He possessed no previous knowledge, of the business, hut being naturally of an inventive turn of mind, and having a good idea of machinery, he set to work. He recognized that much gold was lost by the old gauze wire gratings through which the stuff passed in the stampers. These gratings contained some 36 small punctures to the square inch, and Mr. Goyne improved them, and made 49. He continued improving them, and succeeded in placing 64 to the square inch. He afterwards obtained 81, and so on until he was enabled to manufacture the gratings so as to form 2S0 punctures to the square inch, which are the finest made.

Pioneers of Bendigo compiled by Barbara Poustie 2020 https://www.bendigohistory.com/pioneersofbendigo/ Page 25 of 35 Companies recognised how useful was the improvement, and throughout the local mines and others all over the Commonwealth the sieves wore eventually used. For years orders for the sieves have been received from South Africa, New Zealand, Straits Settlement, Batavia and other places at a distance. The engine and punching machinery used at the works were of his own invention. He also lit up his factory with electricity. So was his private residence, "Rosemunday", which is pleasantly situated on a 20-acre block, near the Epsom State school. He also owned 1800 acres of country at Kamarooka. where he carried on pastoral and agricultural pursuits. Mr Goyne was married on May 24, 1847, before he left Cornwall, and when only 21 years of age. His wife was a Miss Letcher, of Truro. There were several children of the marriage. His two sons, Mr. John D. Goyne and Mr. Frank Goyne — both married men — assisted their father in his business. One daughter, Mrs. Oliver, died some years ago, and another is Mrs. McGowan of Forest street, wife of Mr. S. H. McGowan, the legal manager. There are a number of grandchildren. The deceased was a highly respected citizen, and it would be difficult to estimate how much he has done to the district. He was a member of the Huntly Shire Council for very many years and occupied the presidential chair. He was also justice of the peace. General regret (adds our Huntly correspondent) was expressed here when the news of Mr Goyne's death was conveyed to Mr. E. Warren, secretary of the shire. The deceased gentleman represented the West Riding for over 20 years, and only retired through ill-health. He was everywhere esteemed and respected, and sincere sympathy is expressed for the family in their sad loss. White Hills Cemetery MON A1

DEATH OF MR. G. W. GRAHAM. Bendigo Advertiser (Vic. : 1855 - 1918) Monday 9 November 1896 p 3 Article

DEATH OF MR. G. W. GRAHAM.

The news of the death of Mr. George W. Graham, which sad event occurred at his residence, "Hill Crest," Bramble-street, on Saturday night, will be received with regret by his numerous friends and acquaintances throughout the district. The deceased gentleman had been in ill-health for some time past, so that his demise was not altogether unexpected. His death, the immediate cause of which was heart disease, severs another link between the rising generation and the band of pioneer old Bendigonians who arrived on this goldfield in “the early fifties".

He was born at Greenwich, England, in 1827, and when about 21 years of age he sailed for the Cape of Good Hope. He only stayed at Cape Town for a few months and then went to South Australia, where he remained until the news of the gold discoveries in Victoria became known in 1852. He then decided to try his fortune on the goldfields, and accordingly in July, 1852, he, in company with Mr. Wootten Lansell, arrived in Bendigo and started digging at Growler's Gully, Eaglehawk, and other places with successful results.

About the end of the year he returned to Adelaide, but in the following year he came back to Bendigo and permanently settled down here. He continued with fair success to follow up mining, and in 1855 he opened an hotel and store at Milkmaid Flat. Afterwards he removed to Emu Creek and established a business there. For a time he occupied a seat on the old Road Board, which preceded the present Strathfieldsaye Shire Council.

In 1864 he took a trip to England, returning about 12 months afterwards. In 1870 he retired from business, and has since lived privately in Bramble-street. During the boom time in 1870-71 Mr. Graham invested extensively in mining, and he also owned valuable properties in various parts of the city. He was a member of the Golden and Corinthian Lodge of Freemasons, and a life member of the Mechanics' Institute. He was twice married, and leaves a grown-up family of three daughters and two sons. The latter are in business at Rockhampton, Queensland. The funeral takes place tomorrow afternoon.

OBITUARY. EX-MINES INSPECTOR GRAINGER. The Bendigo Independent (Vic. : 1891 - 1918) Monday 14 May 1906 p 2 Article OBITUARY. EX-MINES INSPECTOR GRAINGER. Mr. William Henry Grainger, of Strathfieldsaye, whose connection with the Bendigo gold field extended over half a century, died at his residence on Saturday evening, after a protracted illness, at the advanced age of 72 years. Mr. Grainger, who was born in County Galway, Ireland, arrived in South Australia in 1853. Three years later he made for the then rich alluvial diggings of Bendigo. For many years subsequently he worked on the field, sometimes as miner, at others at a trade, while for several years he was the manager of the G.G. Consolidated Company, Golden Gully. In 1874 he was appointed mining inspector of the Bendigo goldfield, and as such he gained very many friends. He retired after 21 years' service, and about three years later he left his old home at Golden Square, and took up his residence at Strathfieldsaye, where he remained until his death. About two years ago he visited his native land, but, contrary to hopes, the change did not improve his failing health, and since his return he suffered considerably. Death was due to chronic bronchitis. He never entered public life, but he was an enthusiastic Freemason, and filled many important offices in the Golden and Corinthian Lodge. At the time of his death he held office under the Grand Lodge of Victoria. He was also a member of the Loyal Earl of Hopetoun Lodge, M.U., and passed through the chairs. He always took a prominent interest in mining matters, and was connected with several companies. A grownup family of sons and daughters are left. The funeral takes place to the White Hills Cemetery to-day, leaving his late residence at 1.30 o'clock.

Possibly John James Grant but there are discrepancies. Obituary states that he had lived in Victoria for 40 years (from 1864). This puts him outside the stated criteria for inclusion in the Pioneers of Bendigo Photograph (Pioneers between 1851 and 1860). Ancestry.com records his birth in 1834 in Scotland.

DEATH OF MR. WILLIAM GUNN. Bendigo Advertiser (Vic. : 1855 - 1918) Thursday 1 October 1885 p 3 Article

DEATH OF MR. WILLIAM GUNN. It is with deep regret that we announce the death of Mr William Gunn, of the Glasgow Arms Hotel, Kangaroo Flat. He was one of the oldest residents of Bendigo, a veritable pioneer of this goldfield, a useful and unassuming citizen, held universally in high esteem. He was the oldest licensed victualler in the district. He has been suffering for some time from pleurisy, and was attended by Dr O'Donnell, who has been unremitting in his attention. The sad affliction of blindness with which his son, George, was visited, preyed on his mind, and there can be little doubt this great trouble was, to a great extent, the means of hastening his end. He expired at his residence at Kangaroo Flat at half-past ten last night in the full possession of his senses to the last, and perfectly resigned to his fate. Mr Gunn was a native of Glasgow, and was originally a compass maker, having a large establishment in that city. He arrived in the colony and on Bendigo in 1852, and has ever since been settled on the Flat. He was a man of warm public spirit, and in the early days of red ribbon excitement took a keen interest in the agitation for the abolition of the digger's license, giving all the support in his power to Dr. Owens, who was regarded by the digging population as one of their best and most trusted advocates. He took a deep interest in politics generally, and was earnest in the support of every cause which he considered worthy of it. He was a member of the Shire Council of Marong some years ago, in which capacity he won the respect and esteem of his fellow-councillors and of the ratepayers generally of the shire. It may be mentioned that he acted with much zeal in pushing the circulation of the Diggers' Advocate, the first journal published in the colony in the interests of the goldfields. All his children, of whom he had seven, were born at the Flat, with the exception of the first who died on the voyage from England. His eldest son, William, has for a long time been a resident of Raywood, and has been twice mayor of that borough. Thomas, another son, has a farm in Gippsland. George, who is blind, is about sixteen years of age. Mrs Gunn is, we are glad to learn, in good health, but, as may naturally be supposed, is sadly depressed together with her children by the sad bereavement which has befallen them. It will be pleasing to his friends to learn that he has left his affairs in a satisfactory condition.

He opened the Lawrence reef in Spring Gully, and supplied most of the money required for the working for a considerable period, and was interested in other mining ventures. As a most benevolent and charitable man, a good worker and estimable citizen, he will be sorely missed, not only at Kangaroo Flat, but by the residents of adjoining districts. There are few persons on Bendigo, we imagine, who did not know William Gunn, of the Glasgow Arms, either personally or by repute, and by all he has been held in high respect, and very many will sincerely mourn his death. He was 58 years of age, and up to the time of his being attacked by his fatal illness, generally enjoyed excellent health. His funeral will take place at four o'clock on Friday afternoon, when he will be interred in the Kangaroo Flat Cemetery.
