OBITUARY

Mr. Thomas Sturgess

The many friends of the Sturgess family, and especially the Gilmore residents, were shocked to hear the news of the sudden death of Mr. Thomas Sturgess, of "Barrenjoey", Upper Gilmore, which occurred on Friday morning last. The late Mr. Sturgess had been suffering from blood pressure and heart trouble for a number of years and since a fall from a tree about three years ago he had been in failing health.

On Friday he rose in his usual jovial spirits and after breakfast he saddled his horse to muster sheep. Some time later his wife saw the horse, rider less, galloping towards the homestead. Fearing an accidcnt had occurred, she caught the horse and rode it in the direction Mr. Sturgess had gone. After going some distance his dog came to wards her and led her to where deceascd was lying on the side of a steep hill, about a mile from the homestead.

Finding no sign of life, she immediately informed her son Fred, who was working in a nearby paddock, and he got in touch with the doctor and the Police. Apparently deceased had suffered a sudden heart attack whilst riding up the hill.

The late Mr. Sturgess, who was 72 years of age, was born at Gilmore, being a son of the late Mr and Mrs George Sturgess. In early life he followed the occupation of a laborer and, being a highly skilled timber man, his services were eagerly sought by district farmers.

With the coming of the railway to Tumut he entered the employ of the Railway Department as a fetler, which position he retained for a number of years.

After his mariage he purchased a small block of ground on the site of the old Gilmore Hotel, where he went in for vegetable growing. With the assistance of his wife and family he made such a success of the venture that 12 years ago he was able to purchcase the 'Barrenjoey' property at Upper Gilmore, about 17 miles from Tumut.

A hard worker, he was an able and resourceful man and was held in the highest esteem throughout the Gilmore Valley, where he was so well known as a fine, open-hearted neighbour. He lived an exemplary life and his passing is mourned by a wide circle of friends.

At the age of 39 he married Miss Harriett Dickinson at Wagga Wagga, and to the union were born two daughters and three sons, all of whom survive, viz.:

Thelma (Mrs. M. Walsh, Temora),

Hazel (Mrs F. Anderson, of Tumut),

Frederick 'Fred' (Gilmore) ,

Edward 'NED'

Keith (both in the A.I.F.).

There is one brother, Mr. Charles Sturgess, of Wagga, and one sister, Mrs Caunghan, of Brisbane, surviving.

The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon last, leaving from the District Hospital for the C. of E. portion of the Tumut New Cemetery. Rev. S. Broadfoot officiated at the graveside and pall-bearers were Messrs.

Ted Sturgess (son),

F. Anderson and

M. Walsh (sons-in-law),

THE INQUEST The Tumut Coroner, Mr. R. L. Blakeney,

conducted an inquiry into the death of rhe late Mr. Sturgess'at the Tumut Court House on Saturday morning: — ' Constable Randall deposed: I proceeded to Upper Gilmore in company, with the Coroner and the Government Medical Officer to the property of Mr Sturgess.

In a paddock about 1| miles from the residence of deceased I saw the body of Thomas Sturgess lying face downwards and apparently dead. Dr. Mason examined the body in my presence.

There were no outward marks of violence on the body with the exception of a slight graze on the forehead. I have known deceased for about 41 years and on several occasions he told me he had blood pressure and it was affecting his heart very much.

The body was later conveyed to the District Hospital morgue.

Mrs Hartnett Anne Sturgess deposed: The deceased Thomas Sturgess, was my husband. He rose about 7.30 a.m. on Friday morning and appeared to be in good health and good spirits and had no complaints. He had break fast and after sitting by the fire for awhile then left the house about 9.30 with the intention of going round his paddocks.

This was the last time 1 him alive. Ahout 10 I saw his horse racing down the hill with a saddle and bridle on, but without a rider. I thought something was amiss and went to catch the horse to take it back to the paddock from which it had come. After catching the horse I rode it up the tracks.

The dog came to and he took me to the body. On arrival. I noticed my husband's face was very blue and he appeared to be dead. The body was lying face downwards. I felt his pulse and there was no movement. There were no signs of any breathing. After covering the body with my coat and hat I went to a paddock where my son Frederick was working and told him that his father was dead.

My son then went and covered the body with a rug. My husband was a healthy man until three years ago when he had a fall from a willow tree. His health had been failing since then. I knew he had blood pressure and heart trouble.

He had informed me of this on numerous occasions. He had been in hospital on two occasions, with Dr Mason attending him. He was in fairly comfortable circumstances and was not indebted to anyone. He would have no reason whatever to take his own life. He was always in happy spirits and enjoyed life and was of very temperate habits.

He Was born on October 12, 1872, at Gilmore. He owned the property on which he resided.

Frederick George Sturgess, laborer, residing at Upper Gilmore deposed:, I was employed by my father on his property. My work consists of looking after stock and farming generally. Yesterday I saw my father about 9 a.m., when he was at the shed saddling his horse with the intention of mustering sheep from one of the back paddocks. I went away to ferret rabbits in another paddock and did not see deceased after he saddled his horse. While in this paddock about 10.30 a.m. my mother I came along and said father had had a fall and she thought he was dead.

I then proceeded to the paddock where my father was, arriving shortly after 11 a.m. I found him lying on the side of the hill in a face-down position. I took his pulse, but could find no sign of life. After covering him with a rug I proceeded to ring the doctor and the Police. Some time after Constable Randall, the Doctor, the Coroner arrived on the scene. I took them to the scene of the tragedy. I was present when Dr. Mason examined the body. My father had not complained to me and I always found him in high spirits. In the morning of 6th I did not find a thing unusual about him. I knew he had been attended by Dr. Mason for some ailment.

Dr. J. W. Mason, Government Medical Officer, deposed;—— The deceased, Thomas Sturgess, had not been treated by me lately. The last time I saw him was late in 1943, when I found him to be suffering from cardio bascior disease with a high blood pressure. I told him he would always have to be careful and not exert himself.

About 2 p.m. on 6th, accompanied by the Coroner, I inspected the body of deceased at Upper Gilmore. The body was on the side of a very steep hill, lying face downward. The only mark on the body was a slight abrasion on the forehead. No bones were broken and apparently there were no head injuries.

In my opinion death was due to a heart attack. I do not think the fall from the horse was the cause of death. The slight abrasion on the forehead would be consistent with the fall from the horse. The Corner returned a verdict of accidental death, the cause being a heart attack. - (Ref-

Carmel Sturgess grew up on a dairy farm in Gilmore and frequently made trips into the nearby town of Tumut with her family.

The original image shown in this photo was taken in the late 1940s, when Carmel was in her late teens.

The photo is treasured in Carmel's family and is displayed in the homes of her children and grandchildren.

Sharon Thatcher brought the image of her grandmother as a young woman to an ABC Open photography workshop held in Tumut earlier this year.

She learnt how to line up the photo at its original location and take a 'Now and Then' style photo.

A few weeks later Sharon and her grandmother returned to the same spot to create this unique photograph.

The photograph will be displayed later this month at an ABC Open 'Now and Then' photography exhibition at the Museum of the Riverina.

It will be the first time that Sharon's photography will be featured in an exhibition but she says she's more excited for her grandmother to be featured in the Riverina wide show.

"To have Grandma in it, I think that's fantastic," she said. "Grandma is the head of our family and she deserves to be portrayed as a beautiful woman." - (Ref- Observing change in Tumut - ABC Riverina NSW ... Observing change in Tumut - ABC Riverina NSW ...
