  • Obituary

    John Cashmore Israel was a man known to and respected not only by the residents of Launceston, but a large proportion of the colonists in northern Tasmania, having resided here himself for 53 years. He arrived in Sydney in 1818, and here in 1819. He was considered an authority in courts of law in cases of disputed claims to town allotments, disputed boundaries &c. Mr Israel was actively employed on Tuesday attending to the collection of rents and to other commission business, but the same night he became seriously ill and died on Wednesday morning from the breaking of a blood vessel. He was an intelligent, active man, rather feeble of late years, but one who had brought up a large family respectably. He was another of those men who are so rapidld passing away with valuable historical facts in their possession connected with the early days of Port Dalrymple settlement, and the rise and progress of Launceston. Mr Israel was on intimate terms with all classes and all creeds. He was of the Hebrew persuasion, but his family are members of the Anglican Church. The remains of the deceased were interred in the Jews' burial ground, George Town Road, yesterday, and a number of gentlemen joined the funeral cortege. Mr Perl, of Melbourne, read the burial service in accordance with the Hebrew rites. We may add that it is only six weeks since Mr Israel told the writer of this brief notice, in a calm and perfectly composed manner that he felt convinced that he would die during the present winter. He was advised to cheer up and not think so. His manner was as brisk and cheerful as usual, but he still adhered to his assertion that he would not live through the winter. He was anxious to see his eldest son who is absent from the colony and he feared he never would. It is perhaps not generally known that the life-long desire of a Hebrew is that, when the spirit takes its departure from the earthly tabernacle, the body shall be in terred by those of his own creed and with the customary rites. The funeral of the late Mr Israel brought from Perth and other districts the few of the Hebrew race to be found near Launceston, for the purpose of performing the customary ceremony at the burial of their dead. The service was un ostentatiously solemn and affecting, especially when each of the deceased's sons was requested to place a shovelful of clay on the coffin. (The Cornwall Chronicle, Launceston, Tasmania, Australia 1835 - 1880 Dated Friday 31 May 1872).
