Obituary* | 13 August 1910 | "The Gundagai Independent", Gundagai, NSW; MRS. W. S. CLEMSON. Since last issue, when we intimated the serious illness of Mrs. W. S. Clemson, of Nangus, Death has stepped in and called the good old lady away. Deceased was taken suddenly ill with influenza on Thursday of last week, and, growing gradually worse, was brought to town on Sunday, and taken to the residence of Mr. W. Trimble, where Dr. Hill attended her. He pronounced her case one of pneumonia, supervening influenza, and on Tuesday the patient's condition was so serious that Dr. Gabriel was called in for consultation. The patient gradually grew worse, and died at 5 o'clock on Wednesday morning last. Deceased was a native of the north of New South Wales, her father, Mr J. Purcell, being one of the earliest squatters on the Namoi River. She was married to Mr. W. S. Clemson at Richmond, N.S.W., on February 22, 1862, and lived on the Nepean River with him for seven years, where Mr. Clemson was a successful farmer and carrier. In 1869 Mr. and Mrs. Clemson took up their residence at Nangus, and there reared a family of two sons and three daughters, while three of their children died at early ages. Deceased is survived by her husband, and three daughters (Mrs. D. Pollark, of Nangus, Mrs. W. Gittoes, of Canowindra, and Mrs. C. E. Smart, Nangus), two sons (Mr. C. W. Clemson, of Wilga Forest, Condobolin, and Mr. H. E. Clemson, of Nangus) and 19 grandchildren. The late Mrs Clemson was a splendid type of woman, deeply religious and charitable, and possessed a great love for little children. She was a well-known and the best loved soul at Nangus, and her kindly advice and sympathy will be missed by a huge circle of friends. The funeral took place on Thursday, the remains being taken to the C.E. cemetery at Nangus for interment. The Rev. W. Parkes conducted the burial service. Mr. C. Harrington had charge of the funeral arrangements.17 |
