1943 - Mr. Arthur Williams
The death took place on August 21, at his residence at 39 Riverview Avenue, South Hurstville, at the age of 75 years, of Mr. Arthur Williams. A native of Stafford, England, Mr. Williams came to Australia as a young man, and was for many years engaged in his trade of boot making in Sydney, during which time he met and married Miss Ada Brigden, a native of Gulgong, who, with a son, Wilfred (Glenorie) survive, to mourn with his other relatives and friends their sad loss.
Mr. and Mr. Williams and son made the trip to England at one time, but after a stay there for some considerable time were glad to return to the sunshine of Australia. On their return, an orchard was acquired at Glenorie, and citrus culture and like were carried on till a few years ago when Mr. and Mrs. Williams retired to South Hurstville, leaving son, Mr. Wilfred Williams, and his wife to carry on the orchard.
Keenly interested in church work, the late Mr. Williams was always willing and outspoken in his views. Among other things, Mr. Williams was, like most of his home folks, an interested follower of football, and only the previous Saturday attended a match, and it is thought that a chill contracted thereat may have brought on the complications which led to his death.
Mr. Williams was a brother-in-law of Mr. H. A. Brigden, of "Goldways," Herbert Street, Gulgong, and Mrs. O. Brigden, now in Gulgong, and uncle of Mr. R. Brigden, Wyaldra Motors, and Mr. A. J. Brigden, Tallawang street, Gulgong.
