George Burnett Mosman (1858-1943)

Obituary
MR. GEORGE B. MOSMAN. Another link with the early settlement on the Williams River was severed by the passing at his residence, Macpherson Street, Cremorne, on August 5, of Mr. George Burnett Mosman, youngest and last surviving son of Mr. George Mosman, who took up land in the early thirties of the last century on the Williams River. The late Mr. Mosman was born in 1858 and spent his boyhood on his father's property known as "Burrowal," Seaham. In 1878 he entered the service of the Commercial Banking Co. of Sydney, and, after 46 years service, 35 of which were spent as manager of the bank on the Bellinger River, he retired in 1924. During the late Mr. Mosman's service at Bellinger he saw the district change from virgin scrub to rich farm lands and was known to all as the pioneer banker of that part of the North Coast. He was well respected for his genial and gentlemanly ways, and a large circle of friends will regret he has passed away. Deceased is survived by a widow, three sons and three daughters. He was an uncle of Mrs. L. B. Fisher, of Brandon, Seaham. —"R.T. Examiner."
