Details: Dr. Robert George Alcorn, of Bulwer-street, West Maitland, died at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. A. H. Lindeman, Cawarra, Gresford, at six oclock on Saturday evening. He had experienced indifferent health for about two years, and on Tuesday, he had a sudden seizure, from which he did not re cover. A native of Ireland, he would have been 74 years of age on February 26. He was a son of the Rev. John Alcorn, D.D., prebendary of the Cathedral of Cashel, County of Tipperary, and over 50 years ago he came to New South Wales and be came an assistant to Dr. Knaggs, of Newcastle. At the age of 25, he married Miss Mary Macquarie, a daughter of Daniel Macquarie, of Sydney, and came to practise his profession in West Maitland, and he carried on actively until about a year ago when he retired. His wife predeceased him by three years. He was for many years senior medical officer of the Maitland Hospital. and Government Medical Officer for the Maitland district. In these avenues he earned the respect of his fellow practitioners, and of the various officials with whom he came in contact. In his private practice, he was generally accredited with being very skilful, and his care and attention in cases necessitating his attendance endeared him with a wide circle of friends. In public life he was a well-known figure, and he gave his full support to most public movements. He did not forget that he was an Irish man, and for many years he was a central figure in the organisation of the Irish national banquets. He always took a keen interest in military matters and was associated with the Hunter River Lancers and later the Australian Light Horse. His services earned him promotion until he held the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. On his retirement he was made a Colonel. When war broke out, his services were not accepted for active service, but he was recall ed and was associated with the military camp at Rutherford. He was prominent in Masonic circles, and in Lodge Unity he held office on many occasions. He is survived by Dr. J. M. Al corn (Moss Vale), and Dr. R M Alcorn (West Maitland), and Mesdames Pym (Gosford). A. C. Capp (Spring Ridge), and A. H. Linde man (Gresford).

Details: Reminiscences of R.W. Alison - My fther, Robert Lloyd Alison, left Scotland in 1838. His mother and youngest brother William came over from Paisey to Hull to see him leave in a sailing vessel. Both were drowned on their return journey in the wreck of the Forfarshire Castle, when Grace Darling became famous. He did not hear of the death of his mother for at least twelve months as the voyage took about nine months and a ship only arrived once in a blue moon. He could not make enough money to enable him to go back to Scotland til after the discovery of gold. When he went, on his second trip out he brought a steam threshing machine for wheat, a blood stallion (Lord of the Hills) and a draught (Dundee). When he arrived at Dungog with these there was great excitement among the residents and it was decided to tender hi a banquet which he promptly declined. Not long before he died he told me that one of the actions in his life he was most satisfied with was that of declining that banquet. Anyhow the importations were little use to him. Rust spoilt all the wheat in the district and thre thresher rusted at Cooreei for want of se. Lord of the Hills was the highest priced yearling up to that time in England (1800gns) but he was broken down before my father bought him and did not cost that much, but there were no mares in the district fit to put to him and he was wasted here. He later sold him to Mr. Dines of Singleton for 700 gns. The same might be said of the draught horse which was later sold to Mr. Nolan of Eelah for 300gns. The part of the Myles Estate my father bought he called Cooreei, the aboriginal name for the high hill in the locality
