Details: DEATH OF AN OLD IDENTITY. YESTERDAY afternoon a largely attended burial took place at the Wallsend Cem - tory, the deceased being a very old resident, and one widely known in connection with freethought circles - Mr. William Wonders, of Plattsburg. The cortage started from the deceased gentleman s dwelling, near Lorey s: Hotel, and was escorted by a large number of friends through to the burial outside of Wallsend. The deceased, not belonging to. any religious denomination, had prior to death expressed a desire that Miss Ada Campbell (the well-known free thought lecturess) should deliver an address over his grave. Miss Campbell readily consented to fulfil this wish, and on arrival of the coffin at the grave, soon after 4 p.m., in the presence of a large assemblage, proceeded to carry out the de- ceased gentleman s desire. In so doing Miss Campbell gave a short memoir of the departed one s life, and read portions of the secular burial service over his grave. It may be mentioned that Mr. Wonders had during a residence of some twenty-eight years in the Newcastle and Wallsend district, proved himself almost the father of active social reforms of many sorts. In conjunction with a few others, he was the founder of the first Mechanics Institute in the district, viz., at Hamilton -then more generally known as The Borehole. He was also about the first founder of co-operative institutions in the district, and through- out a long life time of 60 years proved him- self an active worker in all schemes which he deemed calculated to act towards the enlightenment of his age and generation. He was also one of the originators of the Co-operative Colliery. He leaves a large grown up family. Probably no more keenly active, industrious, or sober man ever resided in New South Wales.
