On Tuesday, February 6, Mr Thomas Balcombe, one of the oldest, worthiest, and most respected residents of the Molong District, passed, at the ripe age of 87 years, to his eternal reward. He was born in England on May 12, 1818. In 1839 the old homeland was left for New South Wales, and he first settled in the Bathurst district, and while resident there he married, and, some years later, buried his wife. In Oberon a new home was found. Here he married the worthy lady, who, for 52 years, has shared his life's varied experiences, and who still survives him.
The severity of the Oberon climate made a change of residence necessary; hence our late brother removed to O'Connell Plains. After dwelling here for some time he was induced in 1876 to remove to Cranbury. Here he continued for the rest of his life. The late Mr. Balcombe religious life commenced in the year 1837. At the age of 19 years he was converted to God. Immediately he joined himself to our church, and for 68 years he has continued as a memeber beloved, a trusted official, and the minister's friend. Among the many graces which adorned his fine character were his transperent goodness and utter sincerity. These characteristics, combined with other graces, enabled our brother to inspire and retain the confidence and esteem of all classes in the communities where he lived. Animated by a sincere love for the souls of men, he became a pioneer in religious work. Several successful Methodist churches had their origin in his home. Gathering the children of the neighbourhood together in his home, he with his good wife, worked faithfully and well, until Class and Prayer Meetings, together with public preaching services were established. This led eventually to the building of churches, in which a good work is still being done. One of the largest congregat .....unable to read....... large congregation. The children could not answer some of the questions addressed to them. In every instance in which they failed the answer was supplied by this dear, aged servant of God. Three weeks later his mortal remains were laid to rest in the Togoong cemetery. The service at the graveside was pervaded and hallowed by the Presence Divine. Perhaps the best tribute to this good life is rendered by the very excelent character possessed by all the members of his large family. In well-nigh every instance the sons and daughters are respected members and useful officials of our Church in the Molong. Parkes and Oberon Circuits. As a tribute of love to the memory of a good man the grandchildren have decided to have a beautiful marble tablet placed in the Cranbury Church. This will be unveiled, if possible, when the "In Memoriam" services is conducted by the circuit minister.Headstone, Toogong Cemetery- Anglican Section.
