UNDERSITZ, Hermann Reinhold 1836 16 March 1916

HERMANN REINHOLD WUNDERSITZ The death occurred at the Maitland Hospital of the above gentleman at 10.40 a.m. on Thursday, March 16. Mr. Wundersitz had reached the great age of 79 years 11 months.

He was one of the oldest and most respected pioneers of the district; he had resided here for 43 years. The deceased gentleman was born at Hamburg, Germany, in 1836, and arrived in Australia with his parents when only 14 years old. His father took up land at Mount Gambier, and afterwards Callington. Mr. H.R. WUNDERSITZ assisted him until 1860 when he married Miss Bruns of Callington and took a farm himself at Monarto. He remained there 13 years, and in 1873 took up a property of 1,000 acres near Maitland. On this property he has spent the major part of his life.

Mr. Wundersitz had a beautiful farm, well improved and a very fine homestead about a mile and a half down the Ardrossan road. He retired from active work only about four years ago, and two years after that lost his wife. During his life Mr. Wundersitz took little active part in public life but was keenly interested in the Agricultural Show and Bureau meetings, he was also a member of the South Kilkerran St. Paul's (Lutheran) Church. The following family survive four sons, all of whom have up to date farms Messrs Ernest, Paul, Benjamin and Arnold W., and seven daughters, all of whom are married Mesdames Waite, E. Bittner, C. Gersch, Gordon, Reade, Sharrad, and T. Koch.

The remains will be interred at Maitland cemetery on Friday, 16th March." [1916]
