Research notes

The Macleay Chronicle (Kempsey, NSW) Thursday 13 August 1903 p 4
Obituary.
... The news of the death of Mr. Charles Parish, of Commandant Hill, created much surprise and regret in tbe district. Mr. Parish had attended church on the previous day, appearing brighter and heartier than usual. On Monday morning, we learn, he rose apparently in his usual health, but shortly afterwards complained of a pain in the side. He sat down whilst Mrs. Parish was engaged in preparing breakfast, and was shortly afterwards discovered, to have passed away. The deceased was an old resident of the Macleay, having for some years resided on Austral Eden prior to settling at Commandant Hill. He was about 71 years of age, and leaves a widow and grown up family of three sons, Frederick, Josiah and Allen, and four married daughters, Mrs.S. Edwards, H. Judd, E. Trees and Chas. Sydenham, beside a number of grand-children. The funeral took place at the East Kempsey Cemetery, there being a large following. An inquiry into the cause of death is being held to-day.[10]

Macleay Argus (Kempsey, NSW) Saturday 15 August 1903 p 12
DEATHS ON THE MACLEAY. A very old and much respected resident of this district in the person of Mr. Charles Parish, of Commandant Hill, died very suddenly on Monday morning last. The deceased gentleman appeared to be in his usual health on Sunday and came over twice to church, in the morning and afternoon. He slept well on Sunday night, but on rising in the morning he complained of a severe pain in the back. Mrs. Parish sent for the doctor, but before the arrival of the medical man her husband had passed away. Heart failure was the cause of death. The late Mr. Parish was 71 years of age. He was born at Arksden, Essex, where so many of the sturdy pioneers of settlement in this district hailed from. He came to this State 48 years ago and soon after settled on the Macleay, where he won for himself a competency by sheer industry. Some years ago the late Mr. Parish paid a visit to his native country and he lived retired for a considerable time past. Deceased leaves a widow, three sons and four daughters. The sons are Messrs. Josiah,Fred and Allan Parish and the daughters Mesdames A. Edwards, Charles Sydenham, E. E. Trees and H. Judd. One daughter predeceased him. The funeral took place at the East Kempsey Cemetery on Tuesday and was numerously attended by residents from all parts of the district, The Revs. W. Pearson and H. S. Bowden and Ensign Powley, of the Salvation Army, solemnized the last sad rites at the graveside. [11]
