- OBITUARY.
- MR. DANIEL SHEA.
- A very old and highly respected resident, in the person of Mr. Daniel Shea, passed away in his sleep at his home at the Jetty last night (October 19th), says Coff's Harbour 'Advocate'. He would have been 72 years of age next December. Deceased had been ailing for the past 18 months.
- The late Mr, Shea was one of the pioneers of this district, having resided here since about 1900, and in his young days, before his marriage, worked in the gold mines at Coramba. He was born at Dalmorton, on the Upper Clarence, when that town was a thriving gold city and much of his early life was spent in the search for the 'Yellow Metal.
- Deceased married Miss Jessie Pullen, daughter of one of the best known Clarence River families, at Cowper, and soon after his marriage went gold-mining at Drake. He returned to the Clarence and for some years worked on Pullen's ferries. He was again bitten by the 'Gold Bug' and came to Coramba for the second time when the gold mines were in full swing there about 1900. After working in the Coramba King mine for a short time he went to Woolgoolga and worked a gold mine not far from there.
- Deceased was one of the hardy old pioneers and thought nothing of a 20 mile walk. Whilst still living at Woolgoolga he obtained a job in a sawmill situated on the site of the present Jetty Post Office. He worked there all the week and walked home to Woolgoolga for the week-end. He carried this out for three or four years till he took up a position of crane driver on Coffs Jetty when the family moved to Coffs Jetty. Deceased built a small residence on the Bite of the 'Halcyon' boarding house and later the present structure.
- When the family grew up and left home deceased, found the old home too large and he built the only stucco residence in this disrict on the corner of Ocean and Moree-Streets, Coffs Jetty. He livid there until the time of his death. He retired from active work in 1935.
- A family of three sons and five daughters survive to mourn their loss, the wife having predeceased her husband about 11 years ago. The sons are Mr. Walter Shea (Coffs Harbour), Mr. Wallace Shea (Coffs Harbour) and Mr. Bruce Shea (Cowra). The daughters are Mrs. Malley (wife of Commander Malley, Woolgoolga), Mrs. J. O. Carmichael (Karangi), Mrs. B. Mundy (Chatswood), Mrs. Charlie Annand (Port Macquarie) and Misss Gertie Shea (at home).
- The remains were interred in the Church of England portion of Coffs Harbour Cemetery. [5]
