The Naracoorte Herald Death of Mr. R. S. Sargent As recorded in our last issue, another of the decreasing band of pioneer residents of this district, Mr. Richard Strong Sargent, passed away suddenly at his home late on Sunday afternoon, February 9, 1919. The deceased, who had about reached the Psalmists allotted span of life, was a remarkably active man for his years, but during the last few months, and since he received the news of the death of his son at the front, there had been a noticeable change in the old gentleman, and he appeared to have been broken down in health and had lost most of his activity and vigour. He had been unwell since November, but had not been laid up for any length of time. He was sitting at the tea-table on Sunday evening when he passed away, the cause of his death being heart failure. The deceased was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1839, and came out to Australia as a young man, landing in Melbourne. He went to the Bendigo diggings, and from there to Roseneath, and was in the employ of Cobb and Co., the well known mail contractors for some time. He married his first wife in 1861, and the issue of the marriage was two children – a son and a daughter. His first wife, whose maiden name was Cassidy, died in 1871*. The two children are still alive. Miss Harriet Sargent being a resident of Sydney and Mr. Richard Sargent being a chemist in Western Australia. The deceased came from Victoria to the South-East, and in 1875, was again married to Miss Theresa Craythorne, who survives him. They resided at Reedy Creek for a year or two and returned to Naracoorte, and the deceased has lived here ever since, a period of 39 years. The deceased was widely known in the South-East. He was an active member of the Loyal Mosquito Plains lodge of Oddfellows, M.U. for many years in fact he was one of its oldest members. He was a Past Grand of the Order and took a great interest in the management of the Lodge generally. He was for many years a prominent worker in connection with St. Paul’s Church of England, having filled the offices of minister’s warden, treasurer, and vestryman. He was one of the auditors of the Naracoorte District Council, and only during the early part of last week had he completed the half yearly audit of the books with Mr. A. J. Atwill. Mr. Sargent was for some time connected with the Telegraph Line Maintenance Department of the Commonwealth, and after retiring from that position, he was engaged mainly in accountancy and clerical work. He was esteemed for his kindly and courteous disposition and his good heartedness. He leaves a widow, and in addition to a son and daughter by his first wife, three daughters and four sons living by his second wife, viz., Misses Jane, Maud and Lucy Sargent (Adelaide), and Messrs. Tom (Wasleys South Australia), George (Perth, W.A.), Strong (Kalgoorlie W.A.), and Claude (Queensland). Another son, Lieutenant Marcus Strong Sargent, died in May last from wounds received in France. A brother of the deceased, Mr. G.B. Sargent, resides in Adelaide. The funeral of the deceased took place on Tuesday afternoon. On account of several members of the family arriving by the afternoon goods’ train, which was late, the cortege did not leave the home till 4 o’clock. It was a fairly long one, and on the way to the cemetery, was joined by a dozen or more of the members of the Loyal Mosquito Plains Lodge of Oddfellows, in funeral regalia, who marched in front of the hearse. There was a representative gathering around the grave to pay their last respects to an old resident. The Rev. W.M. Corden conducted the service, and gave an address, in the course of which he said that the deceased had arrived in Australia from the old country some 60 years ago, when a young man. Almost half a century ago, he settled in this district, and had resided here until the time of his death. He was a useful member of St Paul’s Church of England, having worked in the capacity of ministers’ warden, vestryman and treasurer. About two years ago, owing to increasing years, the deceased gave up active work in the church. He remembered when he came to Naracoorte, that Mr. Sargent extended to him the right hand of fellowship, and he had done many things that had assisted him with his work as a minister. Mr. Sargent was for about 48 years, a member of the Oddfellows Lodge and was a past noble grand of the order. He took a keen interest in his lodge and the welfare of its members and was alike held in high esteem by its members. He was also one of the auditors of the District Council. He was a regular attendant at funerals, and used to remark that he like to pay his last tribute of respect to his departed friends and fellow citizens. Since the news came to hand of the death of his son, Lieut. Mark Sargent, the breakup in the health of the deceased had been marked. In concluding he exhorted any who were undecided about making their peace with God to do so before it became too late. One of the deceased’s favourite hymns “Abide with Me” was sung during the service. P.P.M. Bro. W. Platt read the Oddfellows burial service. The funeral arrangements were carried out by Messrs. Platt Bros. This obituary was also published in the Border Watch (Mount Gambier S.A. 1861-1954), 11th February, 1919. *Death certificates show that Catherine and her son died in 1873, not 1871.ADVERTISEMENT BYLooking for more information?
