Details: Stroud - I regret to have to report the death of an old colonist, and esteemed resident of this place Mr Charles Dee, Senr, died yesterday morning at about three o clock, after an illness of more than six weeks duration. As he was well known in this part, and also in the neighbourhood of the Hunter a few remarks with reference to his eventful and useful career may prove gratifying to old friends, and probably may not be deemed an inappropriate tribute to the memory of one whose varied attributes enabled him, at all times, to take a prominent part in contributing towards the advancement of the community in which he lived Mr Dee was born in Surrey, England Having joined the army in his youth, he came to this colony in the year 1827, being one of a draft for the 57th Regiment then quartered in Sydney Some short time after his arrival at head quarters, a portion of this regiment was ordered to Van Diemens Land, now Tasmania, where the company to which he belonged, with other troops, and the inhabitants (who had been called out by a proclamation issued by the then Governor) were engaged in quelling the blacks, who had been guilty of many atrocities The call was unanimously responded to, and together with the military forty-six thousand men turned out, the object being to capture the blacks, which after some trouble was eventually accomplished They were afterwards placed on an island in the straits, where they were supplied by the Government with the necessaries of life Mr Dee also took a prominent part in the capture of a notorious gang of bushrangers, of the vilest dye, who bad spread terror throughout the land After returning to Sydney bis regiment was ordered on to India, where during two years he saw some sharp service under General Callaghan He was engaged in one battle when thirty thousand men, after hard fighting, gained a complete victory over eighty thousand of the enemy His regiment was afterwards ordered home, where he obtained his discharge In 1834 he again landed at Sydney, where he commenced afresh the battle of life Becoming connected with the Steam Navigation Co , he brought his energy to bear in catering for the public, and in a short time made a consider- able pile He afterwards settled at Raymond Terrace, where his public spirit enabled him to achieve some good A few years after he came to live here, where he considerably added to his savings, but possessing rather a speculative turn of mind he invested largely in the A A Co horses, by which, in consequence of this description of stock becoming depreciated, he lost a considerable sum With energy, which almost up to the last held its sway, did be battle with adverse times, and I believe he has left his family in comfortable circumstances. Coming from a famous cricketing county he did not disgrace his fraternity in handling the willow, and with the bow- ling in his hands, one was never sure that the bails would remain in status quo at the termination of an over I can testify to those insidious three quarter balls which, to all appearance, would be going wide of the wicket, then all at once come screwing down with terrible certainty on the near stump Liberal to bis relations, and accommodating to his neighbours, he will be missed as a friend, he will be equally missed in this small community, where he was the main spring to set in motion and assist in bringing about all those little reunions so desirable to encourage, particularly in isolated places, and to further the success of which he did not spare his own time, nor hide his talents under a bushel. What will afford his mourning friends consolation is, the belief that he is gone to that better land, trusting to the merits of his Saviour for redemption The funeral of our late respected townsman took place this afternoon, and was largely attended.
