First Name: Isaac
Ship: 1858
Date: 20 April 1931
Place: Lambton

Details: The death of Mr. Isaac Burnley removed a very old and respected resident of Lambton, where he lived for more than 60 years. He was born in England and came to the State in an immigrant sailing ship with his parents in 1858, the passage taking three months. He was in his 83rd year and began work as a youth in the coal mines at a very early age. He worked most of the time in the Lambton colliery and was also associated with his father in working several small land sale mines. One tunnel in particular (known as Burnleys) was driven into the hillside at New Lambton, and the coal brought to the surface near what is now the New Lambton Park. He was also associated in partnership in a small colliery formerly known as the Dog and Rat. Prior to taking up his residence in Lambton, Mr. Burnley lived in what was called the Huts, in close proximity to the Lambton colliery and many interesting stories were told of the rough method of living endured by the early settlers. He was one of the oldest members of the Hand of Freedom Lodge of Druids and in his young days was ana active and energetic worker always taking a prominent part in their torch light processions and annual gatherings. He was connected with the Lambton Methodist Church and for many years was the teacher of the young mens Bible class. After retiring from work as a coalminer, Mr. Burnley was engaged in business in Elder-street for a number of years. Advanced age and failing health compelled him to cease active work. Pall bearers were Eric Burnley, Walter Burnley, Rupert Hemmings (grandsons) and Thomas Adamson (nephew).
