Edwin Woolley

Edwin Woolley, of Burrundulla, had died on Saturday until after he had been buried on Sunday, Sunday being a bad day for news to spread. However, the funeral was very largely attended, proving how much Mr. Woolley was esteemed by the people of the district. The passing away of Edwin Woolley marks the end of the career of one who started as a young man in a small way, and who ended up in very comfortable circumstances.
The deceased was born at Windsor, and as a young man went to Sydney, where he was employed in office work, which accounts for the fact that he was such a splendid penman and had a thorough grasp
of business matters. Over 40 years ago he came to this district. He was employed by Mr. Andrew Robertson, of West End, for some years. He then secured a farm at Spring Flat, and later on at Melrose. Then he went to Broombee for 25 years, and a number of years ago he bought the farm which he has been residing on. It
is a beautiful little farm of 280 acres. Very successfully he carried on mixed farming here. In addition to this farm, he also owned a farm at Spring Flat and four farming blocks on Putta Bucca.
In addition to these properties, he also owned Grady's Hotel Corner, comprising a blacksmith's shop, Sydney Hotel, Mr. Clem Lewis' shop, the Marble Butchery, R. Akehurst's hairdressing shop, Mr. Bird's bicycle shop, and Mr. S. H. Mason's saddlery.
The deceased was 68 years of age
For a number of years past he has suffered from a very serious illness, and his death was not unexpected. Besides his widow (who was a Miss Holmes, sister of Mr. Holmes, Lewis Street, Mudgee) there survives the following sons and daughters, all of whom reside at Burrundulla and adjoining localities: — Messrs. Arthur, Horace, Walter, Mesdames Raymond Mugg and Geo. Thompson, and Misses Martha, Marriet, Marion, Muriel, Amy, Ida, Eileen.
The late Mr. Woolley took a great interest in the Agricultural Society. For many years he was secretary of the Burrundulla Butter Factory and was a director of the Mudgee Building Society. The "Guardian" extends deep sympathy to the bereaved family. Mr. R. H. Woolley, schoolteacher, of Merriwa, is a brother of the late Mr. Edwin Woolley.

Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative (NSW : 1890 - 1954)  Mon 10 Nov 1919
