DIED – On Tuesday, the 25th instant, Mr Edward Bailey, of the Sand Hills, near Launceston.
Launceston Advertiser, 27th Sep 1832

 
PERSONAL
The late Mr Thomas Arthur Bailey, whose death was announced, last week, had a most interesting career, both as a pioneer and a sportsman (says our New Norfolk reporter). He was born at the Sandhill, Launceston, 97 years ago, his parents keeping the hotel known as The Horse and Jockey. He was a blacksmith by trade, but in his early days engaged in farming, bush work, sawing, splitting, and carting.
He was a good all-round sportsman, and a keen lover of a good horse. He was a horse trainer for several years, and many a time he was his own jockey.
He was also a renowned pigeon shooter. While working on his farm at Dromedary he was arrested in mistake for Martin Cash, and was escorted to Brighton, but on being subsequently identified was released. Mr Bailey followed his trade at Green Ponds, Bothwell, Hamilton, Broadmarsh, Bridgewater, and finally at New Norfolk. He went to live at Moonah about three years ago, but would not stay there. Standing six feet one and a half inches high Mr Bailey was a splendidly proportioned man, and the day before, his death was in full possession of his mental faculties and able to take his customary walk. He was married twice, and had 23 children, nineteen of whom are still living. His grandchildren total 112 and the great-grandchildren number between 80 and 100. The deceased was well known throughout the State.

Thomas Nicholson 1777-1878
An Old Identity-Mr A. Morton, curator of the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, has received a portrait of a very old colonist, now deceased, which should, from a historical point of view, be of interest. The picture, which is executed in oils, is a likeness of the late Mr. Thomas Nicholson, barrister and attorney, who practiced in Hobart from the year 1833 until about 1862, or thereabouts, when he quitted Tasmania, and, returning to England, settled down for the remaining years of his life at Hawkswell, in Yorkshire, adjacent to his birthplace, where he expired on September 9, 1878, aged 106 years. He was admitted as attorney to the Court of King’s Bench in 1800, and married Amelia, daughter of Chas. Kensington, of Blackheath, Kent in the year 1814. During the course of his Tasmanian career (says the “Mercury”) he officiated in many public capacities, one being that of Attorney-General, upon Sir Alfred Stephen being elevated to the bench in Sydney during the Governorship of Colonel Arthur. This he subsequently resigned, and acted as chairman and Commissioner of the Caveat Board, the law relating to grants of land being then just in force. The portrait is a faithful representation of the deceased when he was 99 years of age, and will be recognised by many old colonists who are left in Hobart. It is the gift of his grandson, Mr. A. G. Nicholson, and is intended by the curator to form a valuable collection of interesting faces.

Mrs Sarah Roach 1808-1891

It is our painful duty to record, in this issue of our paper the death of Mrs. Sarah Roach, which sad event occurred at the residence of her daughter-in-law (Mrs Geo. B. Ward) Benalla West, on Saturday night last. Deceased, who was in her eighty-seventh year, was relict of the late Edward Roach, and mother of Mr John Bailey, Devenish, and the late Wm. Roach. She was a very old colonist, having settled down in Benalla about 19 years ago, where she resided continuously up to the hour of her death. She was a native of Tasmania where the earliest part of her life was spent and where she was regarded by all those who knew her as being a kind and amiable lady – qualities which she preserved, in the face of all diversity of her matrimonial life, up to the time of her demise. During her long residence in Benalla she was noted, in addition to her good qualities, as being a lady full of Christian feeling and, in her worldly transactions, was remarkable for a deep sense of integrity and for a spirit otherwise which earned for her the respect and esteem of very many people. Her remains will be interred in the Catholic portion of the Benalla Cemetery today.

BLUE TIER
(From our own Correspondent)
I have to record the death of an old colonist, Mr John Treloggan, who died at his residence, George’s Bay, on the 13th inst. The deceased has been a colonist for over forty years, and was one of the early pioneers of the George’s Bay district, having started agricultural and pastoral pursuits there some thirty years ago. He had been ailing for some months, and his end was not unexpected. His remains were interred in the Roman Catholic burying ground, to which faith he was a recent convert. A large number of relatives and friends followed him to his last resting place, the Rev Father Welch, of Campbell Town officiating at the grave.
