<p>Death: Cancer of the Liver</p><p><p></p></p><p><p> WILLIAM ANDREWS 1842-1898 (T046.TXT)</p></p><p><p>William was a most successful farmer and grazier and although he died</p></p><p><p>at a relatively young age of 56 years he was able to accumulate large</p></p><p><p>areas of land for farming and grazing. In the appendix of the Journal</p></p><p><p> of the Legislative Council of NSW in 1885 he was shown as owning</p></p><p><p> 1,620 acres of land known as 'Mount Royal' and 'Roaring Bull'. He was</p></p><p><p>the owner of 16 horses,170 cattle,180 sheep and 15 pigs. Most of his</p></p><p><p> family also followed farming in the Bridgman area. His wife Mary after</p></p><p><p>his death,stayed on in the Bridgman area and up to the time of her</p></p><p><p>death had resided in the area for over 50 years. In part of her</p></p><p><p>obituary she was described as 'winning and retaining the esteem and</p></p><p><p> respect of a large circle of friends and was a lady with many</p></p><p><p>estimable qualities of the mind and heart.' William was the fifth</p></p><p><p>child and the second son of a family of 12 children. He had 4 sons and</p></p><p><p>3 daughters,all of whom followed farmingpursuits.All the 7 children's</p></p><p><p> christian names started with the letter 'A'.All the children were born</p></p><p><p> at Goorangoola except Alister who was born whilst William and Mary</p></p><p><p>were living at "Roaring Bull".(A stone wall and a cheese press still</p></p><p><p> mark the site of the old home.) Sarah Andrews (grandmother) acted as</p></p><p><p> midwife to the birth of all children except Alister,who was delivered</p></p><p><p> by Hannah Ryan. William was a wonderful horseman and extremely</p></p><p><p>successful financially,raising and selling Durham shorthorn cattle and</p></p><p><p> buying properties in the Mt. Olive,Mt.Royal and Camberwell areas.</p></p><p><p>Although he died at the young age of 56 years he was able to give his</p></p><p><p> four sons a property and the daughters inherited a homestead at</p></p><p><p>Camberwell and "The Old Queen Hotel",which was situated close to and</p></p><p><p> north of St. Clements Church of England Church. Three generations of</p></p><p> William's family are buried at St. Clement's Camberwell.</p>
