WINDSOR.
ON Thursday, a great number of the inhabi-
tants of this district assembled to pay the last
tribute of respect to the remains of our late
respected townsman, Mr. Thomas Dargin,
who died suddenly on the preceding Mon-
day, and I never on any similar occasion in
this neighbourhood witnessed so large and
respectable a body of mourners as those who
followed him to the grave.
It is at any time a most imposing spectacle
to see a fellow mortal consigned to the dust ;
to view the earth closed over his remains,
and hide them for ever from our sight ; and
on this occasion in particular the scene was
more than usually impressive : for indepen-
dent of the great number of mourners who
attended in the usual sable habiliments, his
corpse was preceded by his brother freema-
sons with white scarfs and hat-bands, &c.,
and also by the Australian teetotal band,
which added greatly to the appearance of
solemnity. The suddenness of his death in
the prime of life had startled all ; even his
most intimate relations had no idea of such a
termination to his short and apparently slight
sickness ; and the universal esteem in which
he was held, has made this sudden bereave-
ment more generally and acutely felt.
Amongst the mourners, I noticed our repre-
sentative in the Legislative Council, William
Bowman, Esq., who had come from Sydney
purposely to attend on this mournful occasion.

Thomas Dargin tombstoneThomas Dargin’s tombstone at St Matthews Windsor:
This Tomb was erected to the memory of Thomas DARGON
Who departed this life the 8th day of July 1824 Age 52 years
A grevious painfull illness gave him the fatal blow
The stroke alas, was certain, but its effects were slow
Wasting with lingering pain, death found him oppressed
Pityed his worn sign and kindness gave him rest.
