Obituary
We take from the "Western Post" (Mudgee) the
following reference to the late Mr Charles H.
Tuckerman :—
"Death has claimed another of the oldest and
most highly-respected residents of the Mudgee
district in the person of Mr C. H. Tuckerman,
J P., who passed over to the silent majority on
Thursday evening last, aged 80 years. The
deceased gentleman, had been ailing for some time,
and his end was not altogether unexpected He
was born at Sackville Reach, Hawkesbury River,
on November 11, 1830, and was a son of the late
Mr Stephen Tuckerman. Shortly after leaving
school he took over the charge of Booroowol
Station for his father, which he managed until his
marriage with Miss Elizabeth Powell, which event
was solemnised at Redfern by Dean Cowper. In
1857 the gold craze gripped him, and he proceeded
to the Turon diggings. He also worked on the
Sofala, Windeyer, and Hargraves fields, and spent
a fair time in search of the precious metal at each
place. When the glamor had passed away he
returned to the Hawkesbury, and commenced
farming on his father's properties. It was whilst
working here that he became aware of the drowning fatality at Mudgee, whereby Messrs Gorman
and L'Estrange lost their lives. The latter
gentleman was married to Mr Tuckerman's sister,
and it was owing to this circumstance that the
late Mr Tuckerman decided to leave for Mudgee.
On arrival he undertook to manage the business
formerly carried on at 'The Corner' (afterwards
known as 'Dickson's Corner ') by the victims of
the drowning accident. Some time afterwards the
business was sold to Mr Dickson, and Mr Tuckerman once more returned to his Hawkesbury farm.
In 1872 he again returned to Mudgee, and rented
a farm at Gooree from the late Mr C. B. Lowe.
Here he remained for a period of four years, at
the end of which time he transferred the good
will to the late Mr Henry Hunt, afterwards well
known at Lawson's Creek. After this deal he
proceeded to Sydney, and for some time afterwards managed a farm near the metropolis for
Dr. Tucker. Later on he accepted a position in
the Railway Department at Redfern, and remained
there till 1884, when Mudgee called him once
again. He purchased Edenville, at the rear of
Flirtation Hill, and resided here and in the district for the remainder of his days. It was whilst
living at Edenville that his wife died. The deceased lady had borne him three sons and one
daughter, viz., Mr A. S. Tuckerman, Mudgee,
President of the Mudgee Hospital and Electoral
Returning Officer ; Mr P. P. Tuckerman, Goulburn ; Mr L. E. Tuckerman, Eurongilly, Junee ;
and Mrs Baker, Cloncurry, Queensland. In 1898
Mr Tuckerman married again, his wife being Miss
Gertrude Sarah Blackman, eldest daughter of the
late Mr W. R. Blackman, who survives him,
together with a son and daughter. For many
years Mr Tuckerman occupied a seat on the
Mudgee Bench, and attended to his duties faithfully and well. He was also actively connected
with church matters, and altogether the town
was a lot better for his living in it. To the bereaved relatives and friends we extend our most
sincere sympathy."
The deceased gentleman was the only surviving
brother of Mr. Adolphus Tuckerman, J.P., one of
the senior magistrate of the Windsor Bench, and
he is the only member of the family living now.
