Obituary
It is with regret I have to announce the death of Mr Charles Phipps, who departed this life on November 6th, after a long and painful illness. No doubt but that for the kind nursing and attention of his devoted wife and family and the skilful treatment of Dr. Lester, he would have died long, long ago. He was 69 years of age, and a native of Oxfordshire, England. He arrived in the colony in 1856, and his first engagement after landing was with the late Mr George Rouse at Jericho. From there he came to Guntawang, and it was here that he married Miss Susan Levett, 41 years ago, the late Archdeacon Gunther being the officiating minister. From Guntawang he went to Biraganbil, where he lived for many years. After leaving the employ of Mr Rouse, he entered farming pursuits for some few years at Burrundalla, and later on he left that place to settle down at Eurunderee, where he resided till the time of his death—a period of 33 years. He reared a highly-respected family, all of whom are now in a fair way of doing. He was one of the oldest members of the Mudgee Agricultural Society, having subscribed to it from its inception. In matters of local sport he took a keen interest, and in cricket was an enthusiast, and in the good old days used to figure prominently in Wilbetree, Home Rule, and Log Paddock matches. He has now joined the great majority, leaving behind him a loving wife and family of four daughters and one son to mourn their irreparable loss. His son and two of the daughters are married, the latter being Mrs Thomas Mills, of Lawson's Creek, and Mrs Thomas Waterworth, of Eurunderee. The two unmarried daughters still reside with their mother. He had only one brother, Mr. J. Phipps (who resides at Windsor) and two sisters, one of whom resides at Riverstone and the other at Macleay.
