From the Gosford Times - 19 June 1930

Beyond the Veil- Mr R. Waters.

The death of Mr Robert Irvine Waters of Mill St. Wyong, which took place at his residence on the night of 11 June, marks the close of the career of one of the earliest pioneer families of Yarramalong. Mr Waters, an exceptionally well known and highly esteemed resident, had been in somewhat failing health for some time, but the illness which ended in his death lasted a few days only. His wife predeceased him 16 years ago. Their family was a fine one, numbering 14, and there were over 90 grandchildren and 44 great-grandchildren. Mr And Mrs Waters children were:- Ezekiel John, Wyong, Joseph Clarence, Clarencetown, Amos, Raymond Terrace, Stanley, Clarencetown, Clayton [deceased], Rachel [Mrs. R. Boyd, Wyong]; Ada [Mrs. E, Jurd, Yarramalong]; Ellen [Mrs. E. Kennedy, Wyong, deceased]: Victress May [Mrs, W, Stackman, Yarramalong, deceased]; Jane [Mrs. W. Cawthorn, Warnervale]; Eileen [Mrs. H. Craft, Morisset]; Olive [Mrs. J. Hitchcock, Gosford]; Amy [Mrs. M. Hitchcock, Gosford]; and Mona [Mrs. J. Quigley, East Gosford]. Mr Waters death took place, by a sad coincidence, exactly twelve months to the day after that of Mrs Emma Hitchcock, at Gosford; mother of the two Messrs, Hitchcock who married two of Mr Waters daughters.

The late Mr R. Waters was well known for his ability in breaking in bullocks or horses or subduing outlaws and was always in demand as a bullock driver. He had reached close to his eightieth year and leaves a large number of descendants

The Interment.

The funeral moved from the deceased's residence, Mill St, Wyong, on Friday, June 13th, to Yarramalong Church of England Cemetery, where the remains were interred next to those of the late wife. Rev. E. C. Tanner, Rector of Wyong, conducted the graveside service. The attendance of relatives and of district friends was a very large one, and a great number of wreaths were forwarded.
