George Newham (1844-1916)

Obituary
THE LATE GEORGE NEWHAM, SENR. On Sunday last there passed away at his residence, Upper Morongla Creek, a very old resident of the district, in the person of the late Mr. Geo. Newham. The deceased gentleman, who had been ailing for some years, was noticed by his family to be gradually getting worse and worse, consequently the end was not altogether unexpected. He was a native of Maryamma, where he was born in 1844, being therefore 72 years of age at the time of his death. He leaves a widow and grown-up family of 4 sons and 4 daughters (viz., Henry, Louisa, Emily, Herbert W., Hubert J., Mary, Donald and Annie) to mourn their sad loss. The funeral to the Anglican cemetery on Monday was very largely attended. Rev. Parr officiated at the graveside.
