1872 - SUN STROKE.On Tuesday, at about one o'clock, Mr. Osborne, bailiff at Gulgong, and formerly a resident at Brundah, near Grenfell, was stricken down In Herbert-street, nearly opposite the Guardian-office. Dr. Bellinfante and other friends were in close proximity, and the sufferer was carried to Mr. Tuckerman's Hotel, where restoratives were applied, and within half an hour the sufferer was so far recovered as to be considered out of danger.
In 1872, Tuckerman sold his Gulgong hotel to concentrate on his Mudgee business, Tuckerman's Royal Hotel. It was later renamed the "Belmore" to mark the fact that Lord Belmore was entertained within its walls [in 1869?]. Tuckerman's Gulgong hotel briefly became the Nightingale Hotel before being bought by John Hunter and converted into the Albion Hotel.
1872 - FOR SALE, TUCKERMAN'S HOTEL - QUEEN-STREET, GULGONG.The undersigned being about to remove to Mudgee, has determined to dispose of this really valuable property, situated in the heart of the business portion of Gulgong. It is exactly opposite the Prince of Wales Opera House, and in close proximity to the Post-office, banks, and public offices.The House contains two parlours, bar, billiard-room, twelve bedrooms, kitchen, stables, outhouses, and large yard, with entrances back and front. It is Well Furnished, and doing one of the best trades in Gulgong. The only reason for the proprietor wishing to dispose of it is, that his business in Mudgee imperatively demands his attention. The fortunate purchaser will enter without one sixpence outlay, except the purchase money. Every particular may be learned at the hotel, or of STEWART and CO., Wine and Spirit Merchants, 88, Clarence-street. Sydney.
1892 - Death of Mr. S. E Tuckerman.Deep regret was expressed throughout the town on Tuesday morning, (says the "Mudgee Guardian") when it became known that S. E. Tuckerman had died suddenly. Mr. Tuckerman was one of the oldest identities, having been a prominent unit of the community upwards of thirty years. In public matters hehad been a useful and earnest man, having been, an alderman of the borough, and in connection with elections was always a ready and willing chairman at public meetings, whilst his burly form has on more than one occasion been seen on the hustings advocating the claims of our candidates, and always on the side of the people. None can say bad of "old Steve," as he was familiarly known.Up to the morning of his decease he had enjoyed moderate health, and was as light-hearted and cheery as ever when starting for the butter factory. The funeral on Wednesday was largely attended, and genuine mourning for a true and faithful brother by those who attended to pay their last tribute of respect to the one who had so suddenly been summoned to that bourne from whence none return. Peace to his ashes.
