Charles Povey (1845-1912)

Obituary
On Saturday morning, Mr. Charles Povey died at his residence, Collingwood, Colinton, at the age of 66 years. He had lived in the Colinton district for the past 40 years, where he engaged in farming and grazing pursuits. The funeral took place at Michelago on Monday afternoon, the Rev. S. J. West, of St. Paul's C.E., Cooma, officiating. Mr. Povey was, apparently, in his usual state of health on Saturday morning, and ate a healthy breakfast, shortly after which he complained of pains in the region of the heart, and collapsed. Born in Birmingham (England) he came to New South Wales with his parents when about nine years of age. He leaves a widow and an adult family of nine—four sons and five daughters. The eldest of the former is Mr. A. Povey, of Cooma, the youngest a son of 19 years. Mr. Povey leaves two brothers—Albert and William Henry—who reside at Cooma, and a sister, Mrs. Dalton, of the Goulburn district.
