Hunter's Hsie. DEATn of Mn. C. E. Jeanneret. — A gloom was cast over this Hill upon the re ceipt of the news that Mr. Charles 'Edward Jeanneret, J.P. and Licensing Magistrate, had passed away at his resi dence on the Richmond River. It is only a few days ago, when on his death-bed practically, that ho made his last effort to see. his sods, who are fanning in that dis trict. J ;;Tlie late, gentleman's real object in life was, to sea his children tabo to the soil. Mr.' * Jeanneret-'s early life was spent in agriculture. On leaving the Hill on the 8th, inst., Mr.,' Jeanneret was removed in an ambulance,' and ? many oE his intimate friends bade him farewell at tho wharf for the last time — on Wednesday. Mrs. Jean neret and most of the family accompanied hinv to the Richmond River; knowing that his illness was likely to provo fatal. Ho was-' surrounded liy his family,, and it is consoling, to his friends at Hunter's Hill that ho arrived at his destination to see his sons before death took place. The deceased gentleman if or a number of years was a member of Parliament, and at tho timo of his death an alderman of the City Council, Trustee 'of All' Saint's Church, Hunter's Hill. For many years he was proprietor of the Parramatta Steamer Navigation Co., and was the original promoter of ? it, and built . it up to its present standard, of efficiency. At Hunter's Hill tho, early period of his life was spent in improving the district, and on all sidos are to be soen tho works of his hand and mind. The beautiful avenue of troes is principally due to him and his care, and his chief ambition was to improve the place of his abode where jnost of his children were born, and tho present beauty is in a manner due to his energy.- In municipal life he was active and vigorous in debate, of sound judgment nnd practical'. Pie first entered the Hunter's Hill Council as auditor in May 1802, and afterwards became Councillor in 1863 in February. Only ono of. tho coun cillors thon present is now alive, and re sides in tho borough, viz., Mr. H. C. Brookes, the , other councillors being Joubort, do Milhnn Brown and Clark, all now deceased. Tho meetings were then helcV at tho Garibaldi Hotel. In 1807 the . present Municipalities Act was passed and councillors were tormed aldermen, Huntor's Hill being one of the few boroughs pre viously incorporated. Tho- late Mr. Jean nerot was several times Mayor, and in all positions carried out his work with a will and determination for tho gonoral benefit of all. His generosity knew no bounds, iind the poor and needy have lost a good friend. All works of charity woro assisted by him, and to his church he was a faithful servant. In the midst'of a very active Parliamen tary and public life ho always gave a regu lar poi'tion of his time to the duties of churchwarden. Tho residence built by him on the Woolwich Road is ono of the prettiest around Sydney ; tho grounds so tastefully laid out under his diruct super vision. On those alone the mind of the. de ceased gentleman was imprinted. Many pretty cottages havo been erected by him along the f Woolwich Road. The borough in a; sense owes its' beauty to him. He aided nature^vhere required to lay out tho roads and decorato the 11 ill with foliage of all kinds in the way of ornamental trees.' The deceased lias passed away leaving memories' of kindness and good works in nearly every household. The body is to bo convoyed to his residence at Huntor's Hill and will be interred at Ryde on Monday.
