| News-Arct* | 5 August 1948 | "The Daily Advertiser", Wagga Wagga, NSW, Australia; Death of West Wyalong Pioneer With the recent death of Mrs. Maria Crampton, of Barnardo Street, another link in the chain of West Wyalong's early history has been broken. Mrs. Crampton, who before her marriage was Maria Whiley, came to West Wyalong with her late husband, Mr. Alfred C. Crampton shortly after her marriage at Condobolin. She was born at Bathurst where her people conducted a hotel, and later lived with them at Molong and Condobolin. Mr. and Mrs. Crampton made their home in West Wyalong, shortly after the outbreak of the goldflelds in 1894, and Mr. Crampton's butchery was the first business of its kind to commence in the town. The shop was on the land where Mr. N. J. Tait's refreshment rooms are now located. Mr. and Mrs. Crampton reared their young family through the turbulent days of the early diggings, and Mrs. Crampton experienced the disabilities and inconveniences which were the common lot of the residents of those days. When the now famous 'fever epidemic' broke out she helped to nurse the patients, even taking one of them into her own home. Mr. Crampton disposed of his butchering business, later being engaged in contract hauling for mine-owners. For a time he held an interest in the Golden Fleece Mine. In later years he was engaged in farming pursuits, after which he retired to live at his home in Barnardo Street. His death occurred in 1920. The funeral at West Wyalong was largely attended, the service being conducted by Canon W. E. Butler, and interment took place in the Church of England portion of the Wyalong Cemetery. The late Mrs. Crampton is survived by three sons and four daughters. The sons are William (Guyra), Charles (West Wyalong), and Harry (Glen Davis), and the daughters, Mrs. Charters (New Zealand), Mrs. G. Leadbitter (Tullibigeal), Mrs. G. A. McFadyen (Burliyang), and Mrs. T. Golding (Nyngan). Mrs. Crampton also leaves 33 grandchildren and more than 25 great-grandchildren.5 |
