Adam Norster Halcrow 

Note:

a) DEATH: The Shoalhaven News and South Coast Districts Advertiser Saturday 2 April 1921nnIt is with sincere regret that we have to record the death of a well known and very highly esteemed pioneer resident of Bowral, in the person of Mr. Adam Norster Halcrow, which took place at Jenner Hospital, Sydney, on Tuesday, subsequent to an operation. Although the deceased had not been in the best of health lately, he was to to all appearances as hale and hearty as he has always been when he left for Sydney last week. Only a few of his most intimate friends were aware that he was to undergo a serious operation, and therefore the news of his death came as a great shock to the townspeople, who had seen him only a few days previously apparently in the best of health. During his very lengthy residence in Bowral the late Mr. Halcrow had proved himself a citizen of the highest type — industrious, hard working and the soul of honor in all his dealings with his fellow men; and while not identifying himself to any great extent with the public life of the town, he never missed an opportunity of giving practical assistance to any movement for the welfare of Bowral. One of the founders of the local Presbyterian Church, he had as an elder done faithful service for many years, and his genial greeting will be greatly missed and long remembered by worshippers in the sacred building .here he has been a most regular attendant. He was also an old and esteemed member of Loyal Lighthouse Lodge, M.U.I.O.O.F. His place as an employee at the quarries of Messrs. Lovcridge and Hudson will be hard to fill. He was 66 years of age, and leaves a widow and family of four sons and two daughters to mourn their great loss. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon, a large and representative attendance testifying to the esteem in which the deceased was held by all classes of the community. After a short and impressive service in the Presbyterian Church, the remains were conveyed to the Presbyterian portion of the Bowral general cemetery, where the interment took place. The Rev. T. Hafren Davies conducted the services in the church and at the graveside, and the Oddfellows' servicenwas conducted by Bro. J. Barry, P.G. nMessrs. W. Stokes and Son had charge of the funeral arrangements. — 'Southern Mail' [Deceased was well known in this district, of which he was a native.]nnDEATH: The Scrutineer and Berrima District Press Sat 19 Mar 1921 nWe regret to record the death of a very highly esteemed pioneer resident of Bowral, in the person of Mr. Adam Norster Halcrow, which took place at Jenner Hospital, Sydney, on Tuesday, subsequent to an operation.
