James Wright and his friend John Hamilton Mortimer Lanyon settled at Lanyon in 1833 as
squatters after arriving from London earlier that year. In 1835 they purchased several adjoining
blocks on the Murrumbidgee River, then the edge of legal occupation within the nineteen
counties. In 1833 they were amongst the first squatters to established sheep runs in the
Queanbeyan region, building the Lanyon Homestead. In 1835 they acquired several adjoining
blocks on the Murrumbidgee River. Wright established Cuppacumbalong Station located on the

SUDDEN DEATH
News came into town that Mr. Joseph Oldfield, senior, of Tharwa, died suddenly on Sunday
morning. The deceased was a very old man. So far as can be gathered at present, he rose from his
bed, and before breakfast walked into the garden. His wife, wondering that he did not re- turn
went to look for him, and found him dead. An inquest was held yesterday, at which no doubt the
cause of death would be satisfactorily ascertained.
The Inquest that was held at the Half Moon, Queanbeyan, recorded the death was caused by a
ruptured heart (possible meaning a ruptured aneurism).

NONAGENARIAN PASSES
Mrs. Elizabeth Oldfield
As briefly reported in Tuesday's issue, there passed away at her daughter's (Mrs. R. B. McInnes)
residence, Morrissett Street, Queanbeyan, on April 9, Mrs. Elizabeth Oldfield, one of the district's
oldest residents in her 98th year. She was a daughter of the Rawlings family of Cooma, being
born in June 1851, and spent the early years of her life there.
Later she came to Queanbeyan where she married the late Mr. Joseph Oldfield at St. John's
Church of England, Canberra, in 1875. Afterwards they lived in the Naas District for many years
where the family was born and reared.
Mrs. Oldfield also reared three other families beside her own.
About 20 years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Oldfield came to Queanbeyan to reside, where Mr. Oldfield
died 15 years ago at the age of 83 years. One of her brothers, Thomas Rawlings, predeceased her
two years ago at the age of 92 years. A few years ago the late Mrs. Oldfield, who was familiarly
known to many as "Grannie," went to live with her daughter in Morrissett Street, retaining all her
faculties till the last.
For the past few months she had not enjoyed very good health, but was up and about as usual on
Friday, passing peacefully away in her sleep during the early hours of Saturday morning.
She is survived by five sons, Henry (Gundaroo), Ernest (Tumbarumba), Thomas (Naas), Walter
(Yaouk), and Edward (Naas), and two daughters, Elizabeth (Mrs. R.B. McInnes, Queanbeyan)
and Mary Jane (Mrs. F. Shoobert, Canberra). There are 34 grandchildren, 61 great-grandchildren
and five great-great grandchildren.
Besides those mentioned there were many friends and neighbours who had learned to appreciate
the late Mrs. Oldfield's helpfulness and kindness.
The interment was made in the Anglican portion of the Tharwa Road cemetery on Sunday
afternoon, where a large assemblage paid their last respects to a grand old lady. Rev. W. M.
Holliday officiated at Christ Church and afterwards at the graveside.
The pall-bearers were Vincent Oldfield, Percy Shoobert, Leonard McInnes, and Edward Gregory,
and there were a number of beautiful floral tributes placed on the grave.

Queanbeyan Age and Queanbeyan Observer
Tuesday 11 January 1921
Awfully Sudden Death. JAMES OLDFIELD.
Yesterday afternoon a young man named Robertson reported to the police that on his way to
Queanbeyan from Duntroon he noticed a man lying alongside a waggonette inside and a short
distance from the road near the four-mile peg. His curiosity being aroused, he proceeded to
investigate, and found the man to be Mr. James Oldfield, apiarist of Queanbeyan, who has an outapiary at the place named. Oldfield was apparently dead. On receipt of this information, the
Coroner was informed and accompanied Senior-Sergeant Clarke, Constable Trotter, and the
deceased's son in a car to investigate.
On arrival at the out-apiary the party found the report was only too true. Alongside the
waggonette, to which a horse was harnessed, the wheels of the vehicle being tied with a piece of
rope, lay on its side the body of Oldfield, which was still warm, and from its mouth a quantity of
vomit had come. On turning the body over on its back the right side of the face and the neck were
found to be livid, beyond that there were no external marks of violence.
From a statement made by the deceased's son, his father had gone early that morning to the outapiary, and asked the son to accompany him.
This the latter was unable to do, so the elder man went alone. After that he was not seen alive. He
had evidently been at work all day at the apiary, and having finished, had locked up the place, and
was returning to his horse and vehicle with the intention of driving home, when he must have
suddenly fallen and died-apparently without a struggle, of which the earth on the roadway where
he had fallen showed not the slightest trace. By the Coroner's instructions the Government
medical officer (Dr. Blackall) was authorised, to make a post-mo tem investigation in order to
ascertain the cause of death, the body having for that purpose been taken to the hospital morgue.
Of course, an inquest was necessary, and so the Coroner's Court was opened at the Court House
this morning for a due investigation.
Deceased was about 65 years of age, a native of the district, where he had resided all his lifetime.
His family connections hereabouts are numerous. The foregoing is but a precise of the evidence
given in the Coroner's Court this morning by several witnesses, that of the Government Medical
Officer being to the effect that death resulted from heart failure, one of the heart's ventricles
showing considerable fatty degeneration. The verdict was in accordance with this testimony.

Oldfield, of Yarralumla, and eldest son of the late Mr. John Oldfield. The deceased had gone to
the Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney for treatment for Bright's disease of the kidneys, but the

SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. W. E. OLDFIELD OF QUEANBEYAN
The. sudden death of Mr. William Edward Oldfield, 78, at his home at Queanbeyan, deprived the
district of one of its oldest and best-known businessmen.
Born at Glendale, Naas, in 1871, he was the grandson of one of the district, pioneers, Mr. Tom
Oldfield. He married Miss Mary Smallhorn in 1899. Four years later he came to Queanbeyan,
where he commenced business as a stock agent and auctioneer. In 1902 he .joined partnership
with Mr. T. E. Woodger and carried on a brokery and auctioneering connection in the building at
present occupied by J. B. Young Ltd. Two and a half years later the partnership was dissolved,
but he retained his stock agency, at the same time as opening a small store at Tharwa.
In 1905 he returned to Queanbeyan and opened an agency in Monaro Street, where he carried on
until 18 months ago when he retired from active participation.
In 1930 he was responsible for the ice works in Queanbeyan.
The deceased was a member of the Queanbeyan Pastoral and Agricultural Association for
approximately 35 years, and held executive posts for several years.
While, engaged, in the stock trade he maintained several Gudgenby leases with sheep, horses and
cattle, and also retained an interest in real estate as late as a month ago.
The late Mr. Oldfield was recognised as one of the best horse judges in the Monaro.
He became intimately associated with the development of Queanbeyan, through the church and
his appointment as local property valuer for the N.S.W. Savings Bank.
The deceased is survived by three children, Thelma, Edna and Kevin.

CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.
William Scanes, on bail, was indicted on a charge of manslaughter, for having at Adaminaby on
20th April last, feloniously killed James Fisher. Accused pleaded not guilty and was defended by
Mr. H Dawson.
Jury; John Owers, Lewis Shannon, John Baily, J Litchfield, J C Beasley, O C Litchfield, Phillip
Kelly, L Solomon, H Bray, G Bailey, W D Ward, J H Montague.
The following evidence was adduced: — Hannah Hanson deposed that she was a widow residing
at Adaminaby, she knew James Fisher who died on a Saturday three weeks ago, she only knew
him since Good Friday, when she saw him and he seemed quite well. She also saw him on. Easter
Monday with his wife going to the races, and he was well as far as witness could see. She saw
him on the Tuesday, when he came for her to go and see his wife who was sick in bed. Fishers
head was tied up and witness noticed his finger was bitten. She saw him again on Wednesday,
when she went to mind his children, and noticed his head was all swollen and he was tied up
across the forehead - Deceased did not go to bed on that day but on the Sunday. She saw him on
Thursday 11th April in his bed. All day witness saw him in bed, and he seemed bad with his head
all day. On the 12th April she saw him sick in bed, and was looking after him, nursing him and
was with him till 12 o'clock. He died on Saturday the 20th April at 6a.m., and she attended him
till 12 o'clock on the Friday night. He complained about his head, and witness thought that was
the only thing the matter with him. Witness dressed his head with vinegar, and then the swelling
went down, the head was dinged in appearance. This was all she saw, she use to remove the
bandages. She saw William Fisher, deceased's brother, at the house on the Monday with the
injured man. It was on the Sunday deceased went to bed, and he died on the Saturday morning at
six o'clock.
She saw William Fisher on 15 April at deceased's place. James Fisher made a statement to her,
and told her that, he would never get off his bed any more, through the hit he got. This was on the
Friday before. He told witness all the time he was sick that he would never get off his bed again.
Deceased told witness that Scanes had hit him, and that would cause his death; nobody was
present at the time.
Witness could not say where Fisher's wife was, she saw her on the Easter Tuesday sick in bed.
Witness never saw her again until the day the man was to be buried. She came just as the funeral
was commencing to leave; witness could not say where she had been.
By Mr. Dawson: She went there on Wednesday to look after the children, and Fisher went to see
Senior Constable Britton, who asked her to mind the children. Fisher was at the butter factory,
working. On Thursday and Friday she could not say what he was doing. The doctor attended him
and told her all the time the patient was going to die. He did not say that the loss of his wife
would kill him. She knew Thorpe's shop, but could not say if Fisher was working there; she
thought he was working at the factory-at Rosedale. William Edward Fisher, farmer at Bugtown
near Adaminaby and brother of deceased, deposed that he saw deceased when he was getting ill,
on 9th April at his house. Deceased had marks on his throat, near the left eye, across the chest,
and the middle finger of left hand had been bitten. He saw deceased on 11th April when he did
not seem well. He saw deceased in bed on 15lh April. Mr. Hanson, Mrs. Cook and Bob Blake
were there and the deceased seemed very ill, he complained of pain across the forehead and chest.
On the Tuesday, 16th, deceased said he thought he was worse and on the following day said he
was hurt and did not think he would ever recover. Deceased said he had been fighting with
William Scanes, who came to his home between 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning: he (deceased)
was in bed and accused asked him to get up; he told to him to clear out and accused said if he did
not get up he would bash the window open. Deceased then got up and went out, when the fight
took place, and Scanes hit him over the left eye and he fell down and Scanes got hold of him by
the left hand and bit his middle finger. Deceased said he struggled and got up, when Scanes got
him by the throat, and tore his shirt nearly off him. Deceased said he got away from accused, and
told him to wait there till he brought a man to see fair play, and on his return Scanes was gone;
nobody was looking on.
His brother (deceased) was in possession of his senses when he made the statements; on the
Monday prior to the occurrence deceased seemed in good health; his health had been good for 6
or 7 years. About 8 years ago deceased fell off his horse and was badly hurt about the head, but
got over it.
Deceased was about 5ft 5in, and about 9st 5lb in weight, and 34 years of age. On 17 April
deceased attributed his illness to a knock, and he died on 20th April at 6am.
By the Judge: From the time he made the statement on the Wednesday till the time he died he
seemed to be sometimes improving and sometimes getting worse.
By Mr. Dawson: Deceased told him nearly every day about what had happened; sometimes he
appeared slightly unconscious. Deceased seemed to be bitter against accused and said his wife
had gone away with accused. He saw his brother on the bed the morning of the Tuesday about 9
or 10 o’clock. Mrs. Fisher was there and seemed ill. On the next day deceased did very little
work, he was a blacksmith. On the occasion of the previous accident deceased was 21 days
unconscious without speaking. Deceased was much attached to his wife and expressed grief at her
loss; he used to talk about her frequently. Did not witness anything about falling against a fence.
By the Crown Prosecutor: Believed he did a little light work on the Thursday driving a vehicle to
bring some things from Eucumbene. Deceased had a forge near Queanbeyan and 18 months ago
and came to Adaminaby to work for accused. Deceased had been working at a creamery some
time; he was not doing hard blacksmithing.
Mr. Dawson: On the 10th deceased was in Letté's kitchen, but witness did not know whether the
girls were talking to him about his wife.
Andrew Green, labourer, living at Greenwood, deposed that he was crossing the flat near Fisher's
house, about 200 yards away, at about one o'clock on Easter Tuesday morning. He heard a row,
and heard Fisher call out and say “you dog, you nearly bit my finger off'.”He heard the other man
speak but could not tell who it was. He knew the voice and had known deceased for 17 years. He
heard deceased say “I'll give you something, coming to my place at night”. The conversation
stopped and he heard no more noise and did not go up to the spot.
Alice Fisher, widow of James Fisher, deposed that on the night of 8th April she was in bed with
her husband. About one o 'clock she heard her husband ask "who's there?" and "What do you
want?" The voice said it was William Scanes, and added "I am cold". Her husband got up and
Scanes said "Never mind, I am going away." She said "Wait a bit I will let you in, come round the
back" Her husband got up and went out on the verandah and jumped down and went out into the
street where Scanes was.
Scanes said "We don't want to fight Jim, what we want to fight for?" She heard accused then say
"you hit me cowardly" and her husband ran away towards Cook's fence. Scanes went after him to
the fence a few yards away. She saw her husband getting through the fence; Scanes caught him.
Scanes told her deceased put his finger in his mouth and he could not be off biting it.
She saw all the fight, her husband hit Scanes, and did not see the latter hit her husband. Her
husband said he got the mark on his eye by running up against the fence. Scanes did not do
anything to him after he caught him at the fence. She was very friendly with Scanes. Her husband
came back to the house directly afterwards. She saw Scanes on the Tuesday night at her house, he
was often there; her husband did not object to his going there, he like it. On that night Scanes said
he did not remember having the fight; her husband mentioned it. That was all that passed. Her
husband said Scanes had bitten his finger and Scanes said he could not be off biting it when he
shoved it into his mouth. Nothing more was said about the fight, Scanes stayed about an hour
afterwards; her husband was there. When her husband died she was staying with her brother at
Queanbeyan. She left her husband the night of the disturbance, she walked about 2 miles along
the road, and then met Scanes coming along, and she went with him. Her husband did not want
her to go.
By Mr. Dawson: Her husband and Scanes were on the best of terms. It was a moon light night
and she said her husband hit Scanes, the latter having his hand in his pockets. Scanes then said
"You hit me cowardly" she did not see her husband hit the post at Cook's fence; he told her he
had done so. Some 8 years ago deceased had an accident. During the evidence of this witness his
honour ordered the removal of three women who were laughing in the gallery of the court.
George William Venables, labourer, of Glenwood, Adaminaby, deposed that on Easter Monday
night he was at a dance and left about 11 o'clock. He went to Rossiter's store, and also went to get
his horse, and was away about 2 hours after it. He saw Green, and was in company with him all
night, sitting at a fire. At one o'clock while after his horse on the plain he heard a row and a man
call out "You dog you bit my finger" He knew it was Fisher's voice. He could not see who were
there. He did not want to go and see the fight; he was about 2200 or 300 yards away at the time.
Senior Constable Britton, of Adaminaby: deposed that he saw deceased at the races on Easter
Monday afternoon, and did not notice any bruises about him. Deceased called at the station about
9:30 on the Wednesday (10th April) morning; deceased appeared to be in trouble and had a
scratch on the chin, as if done with a sharp stick. On 20th April he saw the body of deceased and
there was a bruise on the forehead.
By Mr. Dawson: The scratch on the chin could be caused by falling against wire netting.
Dr. Andrew Sarsfield Cassidy, of Adaminaby: deposed that on 9th April deceased called at his
place to see his wife who was ill; he went there and found his wife in bed. Deceased seemed very
worried about his wife and witness prescribed for her and told him she was not seriously ill. On
the next morning deceased said his wife had cleared out. On the Easter Tuesday deceased had a
continued wound over the forehead and a scratch on the left shoulder and the second finger of the
left hand bitten to the bone. The wound was 3 1/2 inches long on the shoulder, and deceased
complained of being badly knocked about. The wound on the eye could have been caused by a
blow with something soft, not sharp. It could not have been done by wire. There was no cutting
and it could have been caused by falling against a fence. He saw deceased on the Saturday
afternoon 14inst in bed with high temperature and pain in the head. Saw him twice daily till he
died and I treated him for concussion. Deceased complained of great pain in the head on the 15th,
and witness then thought it was serious. Deceased complained of weakness and sickness and said
he thought he would not get well. Witness knew on the Wednesday there was no hope for the
patient and recommended that his depositions be taken. The injuries would account for his
condition on the Sunday; the effects of concussion sometimes appeared days and sometimes
weeks after the injury was received. He made a post mortem examination and found that deceased
was a slightly built man, thin, under medium height, and all the organs of the body were healthy.
There was a clot on the brain, and a fracture of the frontal bone, 2 1/4 inches long, and it
corresponded with the bruise. He attributed the cause of death to the fractured skull.
By Mr. Dawson: There was no wire netting fence around Fisher's. Cook's was he believed a post
and rail fence. A man hitting a round post with his hat on may cause the injury. There was
evidence of some previous injury to the skull, but it did not seem to lead to death. The light attack
of pneumonia and a trouble mind might conduce to death, but not so rapidly. He thought the
direct violence caused the death more than trouble. He told deceased's brother to have the dying
depositions taken attack of pneumonia and a troubled mind might conduce to death, but not so
rapidly. He thought the direct violence caused the death more than trouble. He told deceased
brother to have the dying depositions taken as the injured man was going to die. This closed the
case for the Crown.
William Scanes, the accused, deposed: that he was a blacksmith, and on Easter Monday night he
went to the residence of Fisher, whom he had known for about 12 months; Fisher worked about 8
months for accused and they were on friendly terms. He had been drinking and woke up out of a
drunken sleep and found himself alongside Fisher's place. He used to often have tea with him. He
called out "Are you awake Jim?" and Fisher said "Who's that?" Accused replied "William
Scanes" Fisher said "Clear out, if you don't I will shift you." Accused replied "All right, I am
going away, "when Mrs. Fisher sang out that she would get up and open the door and let accused
in the back way. The deceased then came out and jumped off the verandah and got on the street
and said 'Now then my shaver you are the man I have been looking for." Accused said "We don't
want to fight Jim; what do we want to fight for?" Fisher struck accused on the forehead and ran
away to Cook's wire fence, got tangled up and bumped his head against the fence and fell into the
(accuser’s) arms and put his finger into accuser’s mouth and he bit it. He would swear he did not
hit the accused that night or hit at him. He had lent him money several times. He was very
friendly and called the same night at Fisher's house.
By the Crown Prosecutor: He had been used to call at one o'clock, and after coming from Cooma
called there once at 4 o'clock in the morning. He lived close to Fisher's but the latter had shifted
his residence. He (accused) and his wife had had trouble and were not living together; he was
staying at Lette's Hotel at the time. That was about 200 yards from Fishers. He was out of friends
with his wife, and was on friendly terms with Mrs. Fisher. He went for a drink of tea there and
when her husband went to get up he said he was going away and deceased's wife told him to
come in. He and Mrs. Fisher got to Cooma about 10 o'clock the next morning, they did not sleep
anywhere, but he did not drive his horses quickly, he took them along easily. He stayed in Cooma
4 days and went to Bombala afterwards. He stayed at Jack Butler's and Mrs. Fisher was at the
Royal Hotel. He was with her one night; and left her about 9 o 'clock; they went to Coffey’s hotel
and back. He was the cause of her leaving her husband. Deceased never complained to accused
about the intimacy. Mrs. Fisher left her husband to go with him (accused). He had not been on
friendly terms with his own wife for 6 months and they separated a little over 2 months ago.
During that time he had been carrying on with Mrs. Fisher. He could have killed Fisher if he had
tried. Fisher tried to tear his mouth, at Cook's fence, when he bit him he was not angry with
Fisher. He knew Fisher had cause to be angry. The fence was a wire one, with netting to keep
hares out. He ran after Fisher because deceased hit him cowardly, he (accused) did not hit
deceased because, he supposed, he was too slow. He intended to hit deceased if he caught him.
Deceased hit witness on forehead while he (accused) had his hands in his pockets. Deceased
bumped up against the fence and fell back on the accused, when his finger went into accused's
mouth. Deceased was getting between two wires and hit his head on a round, smooth post; it was
a light night. He was ten yards behind when deceased was at the fence. The wire netting was
about 2ft 6in high, and was broken in two places; the post made the bruise. Mr. Dawson
addressed the jury, dwelling upon the evidence of the wife of Fisher and the accused, which he
contended, pointed to the injuries having been received by accident.
His Honor: then summed up and in his opening remarks referred to the conduct of the three
women who had turned out at the court for unseemly conduct. It seemed outrageous, his honor
said, that any person should have thought it a matter for laughter. Many persons had many tastes,
but he regretted that some persons should have made the hearing of a serious charge the occasion
for laughter. The jury had nothing whatever to do with the conduct of any persons in court who
had so misbehaved themselves.
If they were satisfied that a blow was struck by accused without legal justification, and had
brought about the death of Fisher their duty was to acquit. The cause of death, according to the
doctor, was a clot of blood on the brain and it was a question for the jury to consider as to how
the injury was caused to Fishers head. Although they had not the advantage of Fisher's evidence
taken before a magistrate, they had his statements to Mrs. Hanson and to his brother. If they were
satisfied that Fisher and his brother had spoken the truth that would assist them in arriving at a
conclusion in the matter. There was no doubt the woman had been the cause of the disturbance;
but he would not say she was the only cause. The evidence went to show that two households had
been wrecked, the prisoner and his wife had been parted, and Fisher and his wife had been parted
from what had taken place between the latter and the prisoner. In viewing the evidence of Mrs.
Fisher the jury could not leave out of their consideration that she and the prisoner were in the
same boat when they had had evidence that on the very night after the injury was inflicted on her
husband she went off, abandoning her husband and children, and proceeded on a journey with the
prisoner. In considering her evidence it would not be fair to the other witnesses in the case, where
their evidence was brought into contradiction, to give a greater weight to her evidence unless they
had very good cause. She said there came a knock at the door and her husband said "Who is
there?" The reply was Bill Scanes; I am cold." The husband said "Get off out of this" and she
offered to let Scanes in, and the latter said "Never mind, I am going." That was evidently too
much for the husband to stand, and they could believe that led to the language used that had been
heard two or three hundred yards away. Seeing how they conducted themselves after the
unfortunate occurrence they would come to the conclusion that it was only natural the woman
should shield her paramour rather than justice should be done. The accused gave evidence that
after the occurrence he ran away with the man's wife. The accused's advocate had argued that
Fisher was enraged and did not know what he was doing. The prisoner told them he did not strike
the deceased, he only ran after him, after being hit in a cowardly manner, and that deceased
butted his head against a post. If the jury thought the injury was caused by Scanes fist it would be
their duty to acquit.
The jury after a deliberation of about three quarters of an hour returned a verdict of guilty.
In reply to the judge the police stated that nothing was known against the prisoner A petition from
Bombala and some letters, as to character were put in.
His Honor said the jury had found the prisoner guilty of a crime which was second only to
murder. By giving way to his passions prisoner had wrecked to families, and made seven children
practically orphans; three of deceased's and four of his own. His Honor would take into
consideration that the prisoner had previously borne a good character. In the case of the first
offence he did not pass sentences of penal servitude, but he would impose the highest term of
imprisonment which the law allowed for the offence, and that would be three years in Goulburn
Gaol with hard labour. His Honor said he had selected that goal because special arrangements

VINCENT ALBERT CRAIG OLDFIELD:
Birth: Jul. 19, 1914- Death: Aug. 16, 2002
Vince was the illegitimate child of Mary Jane Oldfield and so was adopted by her elder brother,
Ernest Matthew and his first wife Annie. Annie died when Vince was 10 and he was raised by
Ernest's 2nd wife, Eva Mary "Grace" Oldfield (nee Tindale). She was the one he called "mother",
and he only discovered who his birth mother was later in life.
Vince was born on 19 July 1914 and spent his early years at Naas his parent's property, near
Tharwa, ACT. He attended school at Tharwa but was made to leave school at the early age of 13
in order to learn to shear sheep and help on the property.
When his parents sold Naas, they bought a property at Tumbarumba, not far from the Victorian
border. Vince worked on the property and met his first wife, Ethel, who he married in
Tumbarumba when he was 20-years-old. After Anne, their first babe, was born, they moved to
Boroomba Station where, apart from running the property, Vince also rounded-up and broke-in
wild brumbies. After a few years at Boroomba, they moved to Bulls Head, Mt Franklin, and on to
Pearce¹s Creek with the Forestry Commission. During
these years Vince and Ethel had three sons Jimmy, Brian and Peter. Later, the family moved to
Uriarra but after a time Vince and Ethel separated.
Vince met his second wife, Alice and her three children (Dulcie, Joyce and Jimmy) around 1945
and they subsequently had two sons, Laurie and John.
Vince was a loving and caring father to all of the children. Vince worked on Scrivener Dam still
with the Forestry Commission until he retired, and lived at Hart Street, O'Connor.
After Alice died, he stayed on at Hart Street for a further seven years, and then moved to
Goodwin Gardens, Ainslie, where he began attending the Dickson Day-Care Centre. He really
enjoyed going to the Day-Care Centre and it was there in 1998 that he met his dear and wonderful
friend, Jeanette they adored each other and looked after each other very well until Vince's death
on 16 August 2002.
He was a beautiful, loving and caring person we all loved him dearly and will miss him more
than we can ever say.
