      Bendigo Re-visited.β€”On Saturday. last Mr.
      C. E. Jeanneret, Mayor of the Hunter district,
      and an ex-member of the Sydney Legislative
      Assembly, paid a hurried visit to Bendigo, on
      his way to Mildura. It being 38 years since he
      left the district, he was very much surprised to
      see tho advancement made in the stability of
      the buildings, and of the permanent character
      of the district generally. While having a look
      around he hit upon the spot where his tent
      (which was a two-roomed one, and considered
      palatial) had been pitched, and where is now
      erected the residence of Mr. Alexander Bayrie.
      In consequence of limited time at his disposal,
      Mr. Jeanneret was unable to be, introduced to
      our worthy mayor or councillors.
      Bendigo Advertiser Mon 17 Nov 1890

      Hunter's Hill.
      DEATn of Mn. C. E. Jeanneret. β€” A
      gloom was cast over this Hill upon the re
      ceipt of the news that Mr. Charles
      'Edward Jeanneret, J.P. and Licensing
      Magistrate, had passed away at his resi
      dence on the Richmond River. It is only
      a few days ago, when on his death-bed
      practically, that ho made his last effort to
      see. his sods, who are fanning in that dis
      trict. J ;;Tlie late, gentleman's real object in
      life was, to sea his children tabo to the soil.
      Mr.' * Jeanneret-'s early life was spent in
      agriculture. On leaving the Hill on the
      8th, inst., Mr.,' Jeanneret was removed in
      an ambulance,' and ? many oE his intimate
      friends bade him farewell at tho wharf for
      the last time β€” on Wednesday. Mrs. Jean
      neret and most of the family accompanied
      hinv to the Richmond River; knowing that
      his illness was likely to provo fatal. Ho
      was-' surrounded liy his family,, and it is
      consoling, to his friends at Hunter's Hill
      that ho arrived at his destination to see his
      sons before death took place. The deceased
      gentleman if or a number of years was a
      member of Parliament, and at tho timo of
      his death an alderman of the City Council,
      Trustee 'of All' Saint's Church, Hunter's
      Hill. For many years he was proprietor
      of the Parramatta Steamer Navigation Co.,
      and was the original promoter of ? it, and
      built . it up to its present standard, of
      efficiency. At Hunter's Hill tho, early
      period of his life was spent in improving
      the district, and on all sidos are to be soen
      tho works of his hand and mind. The
      beautiful avenue of troes is principally due
      to him and his care, and his chief ambition
      was to improve the place of his abode where
      jnost of his children were born, and tho
      present beauty is in a manner due to his
      energy.- In municipal life he was active
      and vigorous in debate, of sound judgment
      nnd practical'. Pie first entered the
      Hunter's Hill Council as auditor in May
      1802, and afterwards became Councillor in
      1863 in February. Only ono of. tho coun
      cillors thon present is now alive, and re
      sides in tho borough, viz., Mr. H. C.
      Brookes, the , other councillors being
      Joubort, do Milhnn Brown and Clark, all
      now deceased. Tho meetings were then
      helcV at tho Garibaldi Hotel. In 1807 the
      . present Municipalities Act was passed and
      councillors were tormed aldermen, Huntor's
      Hill being one of the few boroughs pre
      viously incorporated. Tho- late Mr. Jean
      nerot was several times Mayor, and in all
      positions carried out his work with a will
      and determination for tho gonoral benefit of
      all. His generosity knew no bounds, iind
      the poor and needy have lost a good friend.
      All works of charity woro assisted by him,
      and to his church he was a faithful servant.
      In the midst'of a very active Parliamen
      tary and public life ho always gave a regu
      lar poi'tion of his time to the duties of
      churchwarden. Tho residence built by him
      on the Woolwich Road is ono of the
      prettiest around Sydney ; tho grounds so
      tastefully laid out under his diruct super
      vision. On those alone the mind of the. de
      ceased gentleman was imprinted. Many
      pretty cottages havo been erected by him
      along the f Woolwich Road. The borough
      in a; sense owes its' beauty to him. He
      aided nature^vhere required to lay out tho
      roads and decorato the 11 ill with foliage of
      all kinds in the way of ornamental trees.'
      The deceased lias passed away leaving
      memories' of kindness and good works in
      nearly every household. The body is to bo
      convoyed to his residence at Huntor's Hill
      and will be interred at Ryde on Monday.

      The Sydney Morning Herald Tue 31 Dec 1889
      During the past week a new memorial window
      has been added to those already placed in All
      Saints' Church, Hunter's Hill. It is, like the
      others, the work of Messrs. Lyon, Wells, and
      Cottier, and is a beautiful specimen of church deco-
      ration. The window is the gift of Mr. C. E. Jean-
      neret, to whose liberality the church is so largely
      indebted, in memory of his parents, and bears the
      following inscription:- "To the glory of God, and
      in memory of Henry and Harriet Jeanneret, Every
      day will I bless Thee, and will praise Thy Name
      for ever and ever." The four lights are respectively
      filled with the figures of the four Evangelists,
      while a medallion above is occupied by a represen-
      tation of the Good Shepherd. Tho window over the
      pulpit was appropriately chosen as the fittest position.
      This is the first painted window as yet placed in the
      nave of the church.

      MEMORIAL WINDOW.
      A stained-glass window to the memory
      of the late Messrs. Charles Edward Jean-
      neret and Henry Stanly Jeanneret, his
      son, father and brother of Mr. H. C.
      Jeaneret; of Wyrallah, was unveiled at
      All Saints Anglican Church, Hunter's
      Hill, on Sunday, the 7th inst., by Canon
      Bellingham. The late Mr. Jeanneret was
      a well-known figure in political circles
      some years ago, having been a representa
      tive of Carcoar in the Legislative As
      sembly. He had been closely connected
      with All Saints Church for- many years.
      The figures on the window represent three
      saints of the early Saxon Church-Bede,
      Augustine, and Aidan.
