Obituary for George Gore Mould. 15^th March 1900 Cooma Express 23/3/1900.

“In the midst of life, we are in death.” Such were the words offered by the clergyman over the grave of one of the most highly respected residents and a typical settler of this district: - Mr. George Gore Mould, of Boconnoc, who passed away on Wednesday, 15th Inst. Although feeling unwell for a few weeks previous and being attended by Dr. Cassidy, little did anyone think he would soon be called away, but it only confirms the words used in the introduction.

The late Mr. Mould was the eldest son of the late Dr. Mould and was born 59 years ago in the district in which his death took place. Consequently, he was about the oldest native born in the district, and like a good many more in the neighborhood, his life was a continual up hill one, nor was his bed one of roses.

Some five years ago two of his sons contracted Typhoid, and where removed to Cooma for close medical treatment. As an affectionate mother would do, Mrs Mould came to Cooma to nurse them. It was not long before she took typhoid fever, and died. The sons after a struggle between life and death recovered. But poor George, although always trying to be cheerful, was seen to have some great sorrow on his mind, and the gray hairs came fast. He never was the same cheerful George after his dear wife’s decease. He lived happily with his family, and cheered them on to industry and to fear God. The deceased leaves five sons and one daughter to mourn their loss.

Although few heard of his death, people from Cooma, Berridale, Nimmo, Adaminaby, Dry Plain and centers attended the funeral, and all were extremely sorrowful at the loss of their old friend. The Rev. Hart, of Berridale, held a short service at the house before the cortege started on its short but solemn and impressive march to the vault opposite Boconnoc House, to be laid at the side of his departed wife.

After the burial service of the Church of England, the rev. gentleman spoke a few words touching on the character of their departed brother, who was an honest man, a good husband and a kind father. Taking advantage of the impressive service, Mr Hart held up the life of the departed to the large assemblage and exhorted them to be prepared to meet their Heavenly Father, for all must surely die. When the minister said “ We commit this body to the ground; earth to earth, and dust to dust,” many were the tears shed by the relatives and close friends, and it was hoped that the deceased had received the call; “Come, ye blessed children of my Father, receive the Kingdom prepared for you.” A few lines most fitting to place over his last resting-place would be: -  (incomplete)
