Obituary of Heinrich Wilhelm Schaeche Gisborne Gazette Friday 8th September 1911 On Sunday last, Mr Heinrich Wilhelm Schaeche died at the residence of his son Mr Carl Henry Schaeche at the ripe old age of 83 years. He was attended in his last illness by Dr Daly, and the cause of death was senile decay. The deceased who was a native of Silesia, Germany, came to Australia in 1848. He remained there about 4 years and in 1852 attracted by the gold discoveries, he sailed from Adelaide to Melbourne. The voyage generally took a week in those days, but the ship Lysander, in which deceased sailed, had a most disastrous passage. Buffeted by adverse winds, they were tossed about for 6 week and as masts etc, had been swept overboard, there were in a helpless condition. Provisions ran out, and those on board were obliged to live on cargo, which fortunately happened to be wheat, and as they were short of water, they had to moisten this with salt water. They would have succumbed to the pangs of thirst had they not fortunately discovered another barrel of water embedded in the ballast. Provisions ran out, and those on board were obliged to live on cargo, which fortunately happened to be wheat, and as they were short of water, they had to moisten this with salt water. They would have succumbed to the pangs of thirst had they not fortunately discovered another barrel of water embedded in the ballast. Even this was exhausted when there were taken in tow off the coast of Tasmania by a small schooner the Anna Dixie, and brought to Port Phillip Bay, the weather having by this time moderated. They had been reported as lost at Melbourne for the Captain of the vessel which had weathered the gale, stated that he saw the Lysander turn turtle and founder. The Lysander as afterwards used as a convict hulk. The deceased shortly after landing passed through Gisborne as far back as 1852. With varying success, he followed the diggings from one rush to another for some years and while at Creswick in 1863, he was married to Jane Elizabeth Hales who predeceased him as she died at Murtoa in 1892. They had a family of 11, 9 who are living. The old gentleman used to give very interesting accounts of his experiences on the goldfields. On dry ground, the wok was simple enough, but when they met water there was trouble and expense. He did well at a place named Clarke’s Flat in the Creswick district, but as it was necessary to pump the mine, a whim was erected and he rode through the trackless bush to Bacchus Marsh, where he bought horses from captain Bacchus at £100 a head. It was not light undertaking to get back with the horses for there were few tracks, not to speak of roads, in those days, and there were bushrangers about. With 16 horses they worked that whim in 3 shifts and did very well out of the venture. In 1879, he went farming to the Wimmera district, and up to 1897 he was engaged at the same pursuit at Murtoa. They removed to Moyston near Ararat in 1897 and from there came to Gisborne where his son Carl Henry Schaeche had bought a farm which he now owns and occupies at Coungalt. There he lived til the time of death with his son and daughter. It should be needless to remark that he had every care and attention in his declining years. The deceased was of an active and vigorous temperament and enjoyed perfect health til within a few years of his death when the weight of old age began to tell. He was, in short, a fine specimen of the old pioneers who prepared the country for their successors and faced great dangers and hardships by sea and land in doing so. He was a member of 2 societies, Manchester Unity Order of Oldfellows and IOOF. He was one of the earliest members of these lodges at Creswick. The funeral took place on Tuesday when the remains were conveyed from the residence of his son at Coungalt, to the Gisborne Cemetery, where they now rest. There was a large attendance. The services at the grave were read by the Rev G.N. MacDonnell of the Church of England.
