MUDGEE. (From The Western Post, August 2.) The Rev. Thomas Angwin -It is our painful duty to chronicle in this issue the death of the abovenamed gentleman, which took place at his residence in Church street, yesterday afternoon. It is needless to say that the profound sympathy of all classes is expressed for his relatives under the affliction, and that not only by that particular body in which he had so long laboured as a devoted and faithful pastor, but by others, of various shades of religious opinion, who were simply identified with him socially.
The deceased gentleman was a native of Cornwall, in England, and commenced his ministerial labours in this colony about 12 years ago. As the respective spheres of his duty, may be mentioned Singleton, Parramatta, Bathurst, Orange, the Goulburn district, and latterly Mudgee and Kiama. For three years he filled the office of minister here, and during that time, not only did he endear himself to his flock, but gained the lasting esteem of his fellow ministers of other denominations, as well as the respect of their people by his simplicity of character and his truly Christian demeanour.
Maitland Mercury and Hunter River General Advertiser (NSW),
8 August 1867.
