Note: CARRATHOOL. CARRATHOOL. On Wednesday last, a kitchen event was tendered to Miss Maude Parr andMr Jim Hurst, in the Carrathool Parish Hall, prior to their marriage, which will shortly take place. The evening which was organised by Mrs O'Donovan and Mr Eric Gillett was a wonderful success and the organisers deserve the greatest of credit for their splendid effort. For some day's prior to the evening the very beautiful collection of gifts, many of which came, from far and wide, from Miss Parr's friends were on view at the A.B. Stores. I am sure the happy couple will not require very many more utensils, if any, to make their kitchen complete, and I may add a very beautiful display of silverware was also included. On Wednesday evening the hall was crowded by 8.30. The first portion of the evening was devoted to dancing, which concluded about eleven o'clock, when the presentation and speech-making took place. Mr Gillett then, on be half of Mrs O'Donoyan and himself, spoke in most glowing terms of both Mr Hurst and Miss Parr. Mr O'Donovan was then asked to speak, and was received with much applause. Mr Gillett then called upon Mr F. W. Culhane, who spoke of the couple in the highest of terms. Mr F. Daly was next called upon, and although he has not very long been acquainted with the couple, he spoke very highly of both, and wished them every success in their new sphere of life. The next gentleman to be called forward was Mr. V. R. Hardy, who gave the young couple the greatest of praise, and, who I might also mention, took a keen interest in this kitchen evening, as we are indebted to him for the many appropriate little quotations written and tied to many of the gifts. Mr. Hurst, sen., then spoke a few words. We were very pleased to see him able to attend. The old gentleman is Mr. Jim Hurst's father, .and despite the fact that ne is totally blind he is always cheerful and bright, and was received with much applause. Mr. Jim. Hurst then suitably responded on behalf of his fiancee and himself. Mrs. Donovan then presented Miss Parr with a handsome bouquet, which, with the singing of 'For He's a Jolly Good Fellow,' brought the presentation to a close. A very nice supper was then served by the ladies, after which the young people again took the floor, dancing was continued till the early hours of Thursday, when the happy crowd dispersed having spent a most enjoyable time. Mr Jim Hurst, is a returned man, having gone across to the other side to fight for us. He did not return, however unharmed, to our great sorrow, as he lost his right arm whilst away. All the ladies and gentlemen who helped with the hall decorations, deserve the greatest of credit as it looked very beautiful with the various coloured streamers. Mr F. W. Culhane carried out his duties as M.C. in his very capable manner, and Miss Coppin, Mrs Hunt, and Miss Underwood, are to be thanked for the music. During the evening Mr Sullivan sang 'My Ain Folk,' and was received by the audience with much applause. The Riverine Grazier (Hay, NSW : 1873 - 1954) Tuesday 20 October 1925 p 2 Article |

Note: DEATH OF MR. JACK PARR WELL KNOWN CARRATHOOL DEATH OF MR. JACK PARR WELL KNOWN CARRATHOOL Surprise and regret was expressed on Saturday evening, when it became known that Mr. John Thomas Parr, a well-known man in the Riverina, and an old resident of the Carrathool district had died suddenly as the result of poisoning. According to the police report Mr. Parr had latterly suffered from ill-health, and had gone to Wagga to obtain medical advice. Some time after doing so he again complained of not feeling well and is stated to have threatened to take cyanide. On Saturday evening it is reported that he was seen to put some white substance into a cup and drink it, throwing the balance in the fire-place. He collapsed, and died almost immediately. The police subsequently recovered the substance from the fire-place, and brought it to Hay where an analysis showed it to be cyanide. The body of deceased was brought to Hay on Sunday for a post mortem, examination, after which it was taken back to Carrathool for interment. An inquiry into the circumstances of death will be held today (Friday). Mr. Parr who was 51 years of age, spent his boyhood days in Hay and Oxley, at which places his father was a hotel keeper. He chiefly followed the calling of a drover, and was highly esteemed by all with whom he came in contact. He is survived by his wife and a large family. â'Riverine Grazier.'

Note: Newspaper article Newspaper article Obituary MRS. ROSE ANN LEDWIDGE The death occurred in the Hay Hospital on Monday of last week, of Mrs. Rose Ann Ledwidge, at the age of 78 years. The deceased had been in indifferent health for some years and had several times been a patient in hospital, being admitted for the last time only two weeks prior to her death. The deceased lady was very well known and highly respected in the Carrathool district having lived there from the age of nine years. She was born at the Billabong Creek, Jerilderie, and went to Howlong Station with her father. Up to the time of her last illness, Mrs. Ledwidge was always ready to relate tales of the early days of the district and one was always assured of an interesting conversation with her when she was in reminiscent mood and re-lived the days of her youth. While in her early twenties she married Mr. Michael Ledwidge, a well-known teamster of the Carrathool district, who pre-deceased her by nine years. Of her eight children six survive her. They are: Leo (Sydney), Margaret (Mrs. Parr, Hay), Michael John (Darlington Point), Alfred Thomas (Jerilderie), Albert George (Sydney), and Frank Bartlett, who is at present in camp with the A.I.F. at Ingleburn. One son was killed at Gallipoli in the last war, and one was accidentally drowned in the Murrumbidgee many years ago She is also survived by a large number of grandchildren and some great grandchildren. Four of her sons served with the A.I.F. The funeral was held on the day following her death, the interment being in the Roman Catholic portion of the Hay cemetery. The Rev. Fr. McGrath performed the ceremony, which was attended by a large circle of her friends and relatives. The large attendance and the number of floral tributes spoke eloquently of the popular esteem in which this pioneer of the district was held. 'Riverine Grazier.'
