[ CONTRIBUTED ].
The late Mr. Charles Thomas Atkins was buried at Scott's Creek churchyard on Thursday, 11th inst., where the remains of his late father, sister, and daughter were laid to rest. The funeral left his late residence, Mitchell's Island, at noon on Friday, where a great number of his friends and relatives assembled . The coffin was carried from the house to the hearse by his four sons, Richard, John, William, and George. The Hearse was followed by a very large procession of mourners and friends, in 37 vehicles whilst some rode on horseback and others were on foot. On coming to the gate of the church-yard, where a large number had congregated, the cortege was met by Canon Phillips. There the coffin was taken from the hearse and borne into the church by the deceased's four sons, and part of the beautiful service of the Church of England was read, after which the coffin was borne by the late Mr. Atkins' sons to the grave, where the remaining part of the service was read, concluding with the singing of the hymn "Abide with me." The late Mr. Atkins was born on the Hunter River in the year 1850, and came to the Manning with his parents when he was 8 years of age, and resided at the Woolla. From thence they moved to Mitchell's Island, where Mr. Atkins married at the age of 19 years, and settled at Scott's Creek saw mill, where he was sawyer for a number of years. Thinking he could better himself, he decided to take up the occupation of farmer, which he carried on until the date of his death. He leaves a wife and family to mourn their loss. Mrs. C. Gilmore, of Oxley Island, Mrs Joseph Schmitzer, and Mrs. U. G. Bloomfield, are daughters. The sons are : — Messrs. Richard, John and William, who are married, also George, Charles, Thomas and Alex.— the youngest being 13 years of age.' The late Mr. Atkins' mother, three brothers and four sisters are still living. Messrs. George and William, of Mitchell's Island, and Alex., Queens land, are brothers ; the sisters being Mrs. E. Bailey, of Queensland ; Mrs. Ritchie, Cedar Party Creek ; Mrs. Schmitzer and Mrs. John Jobson, of Mitchell's Island.
