Citation details: Windsor and Richmond Gazette Sat 4 Apr 1908 p. 4 Text: A very old Richmond resident in the person of Mr. Thomas [sic] Thorpe Biddle, died on Friday last at the age of 86 years. The deceased was a native of Leicestershire, England, but came to Australia 66 years ago, and, with the exception of a couple of years spent on the Clarence River, has been residing in the Hawkesbury district, ever since. In former days he carried on business as a blacksmith in Lennox-street Richmond. At the time of the wheat boom he went in extensively for agricultural implement making, and has the record of having been, in conjunction with Mr. Woolley, the first maker of a stripping machine in the Hawkesbury district. When, however, the boom subsided, owing to the rust in wheat, he left this occupation and went in for farming. He was a devout churchman, and was also a good musician, having played in the orchestra in the Methodist and Anglican churches prior to the advent of the organ. The deceased gentleman was married twice and had a numerous offspring. Of 20 children the following are now living:- Thomas, William, Fred, Amy and Mrs. Powell (Richmond); Mrs. Chandler (Granville); Mrs Watson, Mrs. J. Clark, Mrs. G. Clark, Frank, Jack and Bob (Clarence River). There are 73 grandchildren and 44 great grandchildren. The funeral which was largely attended, took place on Sunday, the remains being interred in the Church of England cemetery, Richmond. The Rev. J. Colwell and Rev. Mr. Hargraves conducted the service. Mr. A. Price was the undertaker. |
