| Obituary | 20 January 1912 | "The Forbes Times", Forbes, NSW, Australia; OBITUARY. The death was announced on Thursday morning of Mrs. Esther Young, a widow, and a resident of the town of long standing. The deceased lady passed away at her residence near the cricket ground. She had been in serious ill-health for some considerable time past, suffering from an internal complaint, and early in the week her trouble became so acute as to render her death liable at any time. The actual cause of death was given as heart failure. The deceased was 78 years of age. She is survived by an adult family, all of whom are well known in the town and district. The funeral took place on Friday morning, when the interment of the body was made in the Church of England section of the general cemetery. The service at the graveside was conducted by the Rev. Carus Caton while the funeral arrangements were in the hands of Mr. W. E. Luthje. The late Mrs. Young was born near Cowra in. 1833, and it is generally understood that she was the first white child to be born in the Lachlan river district. For 17½ years the deceased and her husband kept the hotel at Bandon, and during their stay there the notorious Ben Hall was employed for a time as groom. Mr. Young died while they were in occupation of this hotel, and his widow subsequently removed to Monomie, near Bogan Gate, which place was then managed for her by her sons. About nineteen years ago she came to Forbes, and has resided here ever since. The members of the family who survive her are Messrs. John, George and William Young, of Fifield, and Edward and Joseph Young, of Forbes, and Miss Jane C. Young, of Forbes, who was living with her mother. It will be remembered that another son, Mr. James Young, died in the hospital about three weeks ago. The family is a highly respected one through the district, and every sympathy has been extended to them in their bereavement.5 |
