Place: Lake Macquarie
Source: NMH
Details: Death Of Lake Pioneer Mrs. Mary Ann Phillips, who died recently, was a member of a pioneering family of Lake Macquarie. Her home. Marksville, a prominent landmark of the district, is closely identified with the early history of Belmont. In 1825, an area of 10,000 acres, extending from Swansea Channel to a line drawn from Warner s Bay to Redhead, was set aside by the Government for the purpose of a mission to the aborigines. Although the mission failed, it was not until the Crown Lands Alienation Act, of 1861, was enacted, that the mission area was surveyed and sub- divided for private settlement. The surveyor was Mr. D. M. Maitland. The first application for land was made by Maurice Marks. In 1862, he was granted a conditional purchase area of 188 acres, to which he gave the name Marksville. On August 14, 1864, he married, at the residence of Rev. W. J. Dean, Church-street, Newcastle, a Cornish woman, Mary Jane Richards. His occupations included mining, fishing and fruit growing. The property was cleared of debt by his labours. Three brothers were induced by Maurice Marks to come from England and take their homes at Belmont. Charles and Henry settled at the place now known as Marks Point. Charles gave it this name, and it became famous for its production of oranges and tropical fruits. Henry acquired a conditional purchase to the north of Marksville. Maurice Marks died in 1924 and his wife in 1930. There were nine children of the marriage. They attended a private school conducted in a little building owned by the Primitive Methodists, until the first State school was opened in 1875. The first resident schoolteacher was Mr. J. Hayden. Still living at Rockdale, aged 94. Mr. Hayden received the news of the death of his oldest surviving pupil with great regret, and wrote: She was one of my pupils 65 years ago, and so firmly entwined herself around my heartstrings that her image as a child is still clear and bright in my memory. Mary Ann Marks, after the example of her father, was active in local community life in her early years. Amongst other things she was organist in the Methodist Church. She married Joseph Phillips, and went to live at East Maitland. After some 40 years, she came, on the death of her husband, to live at Marksville. In 1945, the Education Department resumed the property, which will soon be the site of a new high school, serving a large area. Surviving members of the original Marks family are - Mrs. Gray, of Adamstown, and Mr. C. Marks, of Merewether. Mrs. Phillips is survived by two daughters, Mrs. D. G. MacDougall, of Merewether, and Mrs. N. M. Clout, of Belmont; and three sons. John Phillips, Merewether, J. H. C. Phillips and Harold Phillips, both of Sydney. One son, Oswald, died before her. A stepson, Ernest Phillips, also lives in Sydney. The funeral was to the Church of England portion of East Maitland Cemetery.
