MARRIAGE.

HARRIES - NURCOMBE. - At St. Paul's, Rockhampton, on the 22nd December, by the Rev. R. Leigh, Edward D. Harries, Tambo, to Elizabeth Jane, only surviving daughter of Robert Nurcombe, of Rockhampton.

Family Notices. (1874, December 29). Rockhampton Bulletin (Qld. : 1871 - 1878), p. 1. Link to TROVE

Mr. Edward Decimus Harries, aged 71 years, late clerk of the Croydon Shire Council, died in the hospital on Friday evening, and the funeral took place the following afternoon and was largely attended (our Croydon correspondent telegraphs). Deceased was a very old resident and highly respected. He leaves a large family, mostly grown up.

Croydon is supposed to have a chance of booming again, but one who saw it through many troublous times won't be there if it does get a move along. The chap is Edward Decimus Harries, who passed his 71st lap of the track of Life, and then lay down for the end this week. Harries was an old and respected resident on the field, and. in his halcyon days was a member of the Croydon Shire Council.

PASSING OF A PIONEER.
With the death of Edward Decimus Harries, shire clerk at Croydon, at the age of 72 years, there passes another of those old pioneers from our midst. Born at Llanunwas, Haverfordwest, Wales, in 1841, he was educated for a commercial life, and secured an appointment in a London banking house, but after two years he decided in company with his fast friend, Mr. R. Welford, to try his fortune in Australia. The friends sailed from Portsmouth in the sailing ship James Colman which landed at Sydney in the early part of '63. After a short stay in Sydney the pair, attracted by the glowing accounts of the rich areas of both mineral and pastoral country, decided to make for Queensland. Landing at Rockhampton they obtained a start on Aramac Station, where they soon showed that they were made of the right stuff, and not afraid of hard work. After several years of separation during which they kept up a constant touch—that is, so far as the disjointed nature of the mail service of those days would permit, Mr. Harries once more joined Mr. Welford who had taken up a block of country on the Barcoo below Isisford and now known as Welford's Lagoon. It was here that the illfated and faithful friend of his youth met a cruel death at the hands of the natives. A posse of mounted police afterwards visited the spot and inflicted severe punishment on the natives. On one occasion Mr. Harries had a close call, being speared in the right side by a treacherous black while out horse hunting. Owing to the poisoned wood of the spear he lay in a serious condition for some days, but eventually threw it off. Removing to Tambo, then one of the most prosperous and flourishing towns on the Barcoo, he purchased Bilton's general store as a going concern. During 1874 he married the only daughter of Captain Robert Nurcombe, of Rockhampton, and a few years later took a trip home to see his mother who was getting up in years ; his father having died while he was quite an infant. Returning to Tambo after twelve months' absence he entered into business with Geo. Bredhauer as sawmillers, afterwards taking up a couple of blocks of country on the head of the Nive River called Malta, where he resided for some years. When Croydon broke out he took a mob of horses over for sale, and becoming imbued like many others with the prospects of the field, disposed of his property and took his family with him.
On his departure from Tambo to Croydon he was presented with a very fine tea and coffee service, as a mark of esteem and appreciation for the number of years he had acted in conjunction with Mr. Harry Goffage as joint honorary secretary to the racing club.
Although never an aspirant for Parliamentary honours, he took a keen interest in politics and was ever a strong supporter of the Liberal party.
Always recognised as a first class accountant, at the age of 65 he successfully passed the accountancy examination in order to qualify and conform with the requirements of the Audit Act in connection with local authority audits. This is probably a record for Australia. His wife predeceased him by about seven years, and he leaves behind him two sons and six daughters all except two of whom are grown up. With his death passes one of the most respected residents of the Croydon goldfield.
