Died on Monday 25th March. Buried in St. James Cemetery, Jerrys Plains. - Death of the Rev. W. W. Dove - It is with much regret that we have to record the demise of the Rev William Woodman Dove, incumbent of Jerrys Plains and Falbrook, whose death took place at the parsonage, Jerrys Plains, at an early hour on Saturday morning last. The deceased, who was quite a young man, only thirty-five years of age, leaves behind him a sorrowing widow and four helpless young orphans. Mr. Dove had been suffering for a considerable time past from valvular disease of the heart and for the past two months he was obliged, in consequence of the inroads made upon his constitution by the extension of the disease, to desist from the performance of his usual clerical duties, to which he was attached with extreme devotion. For several weeks past his medical attendants gave up all hopes of his recovery. The deceased clergyman was much esteemed for his many amiable qualities both by his numerous and wide-spread congregation as well as by his brother ministers and the bishop of the diocese. As an instance of the attachment of his brother clergymen to the de- ceased, we may state that the Rev. James Blackwood, of Singleton, the Rev. Mr. White, of Muswellbrook, and the Rev Mr Wilson, of Cassilis, attended frequently at the sick bed of their departed friend, although having to travel considerable distances to his residence. The Rev. W. W Dove had been in charge of the parishes of Jerrys Plains and Falbrook for upwards of eight years, he having succeeded the Rev. Joseph Cooper. Mr Dove s death will cause another vacancy in the list of clergymen in receipt of a Crown stipend under Sir Richard Bourke s Act.
