Euroa Advertiser (Vic. : 1884 - 1920) Fri 30 Sep 1898 Page 4 A DETERMINED SUICIDE.
A DETERMINED SUICIDE.
HANGS HIMSELF IN A STABLE
AT NORTH WOOD.
On Sunday morning the usual quiet of the Northwood district was disturbed by the news that a suicide had taken place on the farm, of Mr. John Ross, at Dairy Bend, near the Goulburn River, about nine miles from Seymour, and that the victim was a son of Mr. Ross', aged 22 years. The sad news proved too true, for some time during the previous night or early that morning John Ross, junr., had destroyed himself in a most determined manner. The. modusoperandi employed on the occasion was to securely fasten a rope to the ridge pole of the stable, doubles in such a manner that it would be almost impossible to break it.

It appears however, that with the weight of the body one of the strands did break, but the remaining three were sufficiently strong to enable the rash young man to carry out his object successfully. From the position in which the body was found also there was not the slightest doubt as to the determination with which the victim carried out his purpose, for had he felt so inclined he could have secured a good foothold on a manger near by and thus relieved the strain on his neck. The discovery was made at an early hour on Sunday morning by one of deceased's brother's entering the stable to get a horse. In quick time the body was cut down, but not in time to be of any avail. for on examination the body was found to be quite rigid and cold, showing plainly that the vital spark had fled long before the brother had entered the stable and met the horrible sight. From what we are able to glean as to the circumstances which led up to the perpetration of the rash act, it would appear that young Ross has suffered more or less from insomnia for some time past; but nothing in the evidence bore out this theory. It is probable therefore that the cause of the young man's derangement will ever remain a mystery.

The Magisterial inquiry was held on Monday at Mr. Ross' farm, before Mr. E. O'Callaghan, J.P., when the following evidence was adduced :

John Ross, farmer, residing at Northwood, said - The deceased, John Ross was my son. He was 22 years of age last birthday, and always resided with me. I last saw him alive between 9 and 10 o'clock on Saturday night, the 24th inst., when he appeared in good health. He had been working on the farm on that day. On Sunday morning I called him to get up, but got no answer. I then Awakened the girls. They got up and went out to the kitchen. They then took deceased's clothes into his bedroom, but found he was not there. The next I heard was the members of the family all crying" out ",Jack has hanged himself. I at once ran to the stable and saw deceased's body Hanging. He was quite dead. I assisted to hold the body while my son William cut it down. The body was hanging by a plough rein which was fastened to the ridge pile of the stable. On Wednesday last he complained of a bad head. He went to Seymour that day and consulted Mr. Gibbs, chemist, who prescribed for him. He returned the same day and appeared all right. There was nothing that I know of to distract his mind. He was on good terms with the whole of the family. I do not know any reason why he should have taken his life.

William Ross said the deceased, John Ross, was his brother. Deceased slept in, the same room as I did on Saturday night. My brother Thomas also occupied the same room. When I went to bed that night at 12 o'clock the deceased was in bed. He got up, went out for a few minutes and then returned. I made a remark to my brother Tom, who was sleeping in the same bed as deceased, that I would not hit the stump he was taking out. Deceased only asked what we were talking about. About 7 a.m. on Sunday my sister came into the room with our clothes, and said, "Jack's up."
Soon after my brother Tom came running down saying ,Jack had hung himself in the stable. I at once got up and ran to the stable, where I saw my brother's body hanging from the ridge pole. While the body was being held up by my father and brother I cut the rope. The body was then quite cold. I assisted in removing the body to the house. Deceased always appeared to be in good health, but last Wednesday I heard he was going to see the chemist. On Friday he said to me, " I wish I had seen the doctor instead of the chemist." He said if I only knew the pain he suffered I would not believe it. Only those who had it knew how he suffered. He did not describe the pain. I knew from his condition on Friday that he was suffering pain, as he was shedding tears, and gave me to understand that he did not feel fit for work. I advised him to take a spell, and suggested he should go to the seaside. Deceased had met with an accident caused by a falling tree, which struck him on the head. I know of no reason why he should take his life.

Thomas Ross, brother of deceased, said - I occupied the same room as deceased on Saturday night last. I last saw him alive when the last witness went to bed about 12 o'clock. Between 7 and 8 o'clock on Sunday morning my sister called me, when I found my brother John had left the bed. Immediately on getting up I went to the stable, and on looking through the opening of the door I saw the deceased hanging. I at once called my brother and sister, who, together with my father, ran to the stable. I assisted my father to hold up the body while the last witness cut it down. He appeared quite dead. Since seeing the chemist he complained to me that his previously injured check, always felt quite cold, and that he had to keep it covered when in bed. He said he could not sleep very well at night. I am not aware that he had any trouble which would cause him to take his life.

Margaret Ross said deceased was her brother. ????????????????????? kitchen, when he stated he was troubled through not being able to sleep, and that he would be better dead than alive. Previous to deceased making that statement I was not aware that he was suffering any pain.

A verdict was returned of suicide whilst suffering from temporary insanity.

The remains of the unfortunate young man were interred in the Seymour Cemetery yesterday afternoon, a large concourse of the friends of the deceased's family joining in the funeral cortege.
The Rev. J. Neville, of the Presbyterian church conducted the ceremony at the grave. Mr. Oak carried out the funeral arrangements.

Decree granted.
MERRALL V. MERRALL.
Christina Merrall, 27, of Northwood, petitioned for divorce from William Merrall, 27, laborer, on the ground of misconduct. Mr. L. S. Woolf, instructed by Boothby and Boothby, appeared for petitioner. Evidence was given of the marriage on 1st March, 1905, and the birth of three children.
The parties ceased living together in May, 1912, and the following month petitioner received a letter from respondent, intimating that he had left Melbourne for ever. The letter went on to say, "You don't seem to care for me, so I have found the one that does, and nothing but death will part us." Respondent had gone to Brisbane with a woman named Priscilla Gort. The decree was granted, with costs against respondent, and custody of the child.

DIVORCE PETITIONER DIES.
TRAGIC END TO SUIT.
Widow's Hysterical Outburst.
An announcement that the petitioner had been found dead on his premises brought a divorce suit to a sudden end before the Chief Justice (Sir William Irvine) yesterday.

The case came before the Divorce Court a week ago, when Conrad Schmidt (63), of 135 Maribyrniong road, Ascotvale, baker, petitioned for a divorce from Margaret Schmidt (54), whom he married on March 13, 1909). The ground was that respondent had deserted him since December, 1916. Petitioner stated that he did not know the whereabouts of the respondent, and that he had no means of ascertaining them. He married the respondent consequent upon seeing a matrimonial advertisement which she had inserted in a newspaper. He had never met any of her relatives. After the marriage respondent neglected her household duties, and would not be bothered with looking after his baker's shop. They had several quarrels about this, and she told him on one occasion that "a loose leg suited her better than married life."

The Chief Justice adjourned the case, and caused inquiries to be made for the where-about's of the respondent, who appeared before him yesterday. She stated that she had learnt the day before for the first time that her husband was taking divorce Proceedings against her. She lived with her brother, Thomas Ross, at Northwood, 12 miles from Seymour.

The Chief Justice.- Why did not the petitioner know where to find you?
Respondent.- He did know where I was. He has written to me several times while I have been there. Before I left him he spoke of getting a divorce as soon as he could, and asked me where I would be in three years. I told him that I would be with my brother.

Replying to petitioner's allegations, of which she then heard for the first time, respondent said that she had left him in 1912 for three months, because he was violent to her. In 1916 he locked her out of the house, and as he and his son-her stepson-were in the habit of ill-using her she left him. She had never refused to look after her husband's shop.

The Chief Justice said that the petitioner, who, although notified, had failed to attend, must be summoned to the court. He must have an opportunity of explaining his previous statements. The matter could not rest where it was.

When the Court resumed after the lunch adjournment, and while Mr. Jose, who appeared for the petitioner, was cross examining the respondent, a messenger announced that he had been to Schmidt's premises and found him Iying dead at the rear of his stable. The body had been removed to the Morgue.

The Chief Justice said that the case would be struck out of the list. Respondent broke into hysterical laughter, and left the box crying, '"I am free! I am free!"

It is stated that between 11 and half-past 11 o'clock yesterday, morning, Schmidt called at a bank in Ascotvale, and took away a sealed package. A search for the package was made, but it could not be found.

Notes

by Frances Heyer

JOHN LACHLAN ROSS, his wife Sarah, and son-in-law Robert Cain.

John Lachlan Ross [my great-grandfather] was born on the 5th May 1866 at Newstead in Victoria. His father was recorded as George Thomas Ross, and was born in Eriboll, Durness, Sutherland, Scotland, and baptised 4th April 1829. His given name was George Tulloch Ross. He died Echuca, Victoria in 1901. His occupation in Newstead was 'miner".

George Ross and Christina Sutherland were married 14th July 1851, Bonar Bridge, Sutherland.
George's parents were Lachlan Ross and Ann Fraser. Lachlan Ross was born 1791, Kincardine, Ross-shire to Alexander Ross and Anne MacGregor, who married 2nd June 1779, Per, Perthshire. Anne MacGregor was born 1762 in Forfar, Angus, and died 1st February 1845.

Lachlan Ross and Ann Fraser married 11th December 1819, Creich, Sutherlands. Lachlan was the Grieve/Bailiff [Foreman] for Alexander Clarke, a sheep farmer of Eriboll. Lachlan used the name of Clarke for his son John Clarke Ross.

Ann Fraser was born 1791, Inverness and died 1837, aged 47 at Durness. Lachlan Ross died 4th May 1879, at Thurso, Caithness. He was buried at Eriboll Burial Ground.

His monumental inscription: Lachlan Ross, native parish of Kincardine, Ross-shire, faithful servant more than 50 years in family Clarkes of Eriboll,
d. Thurso 4:5:1879, aged 88. Wife Ann Fraser d. Eriboll 1837 aged 46, second wife Hanna Mather d. Eriboll 28:6:1872, children Isabella 1829 12, Thomas 14:2:1867 15.

Christy died at Newstead 22nd May 1899.
[Christy gave the name of Crypool, Sutherland, Scotland as to where she was born, but I have not been able to trace that name, even when I was in contact with a Scottish site. This name is on John Lachlan Ross' birth registration. The name may have sounded like Crypool to the person who registered the birth. It may have been a Gaelic name, or even the name of a farm.]

George 24, his wife Christy 27, and daughter Hughina , arrived Moreton Bay 16th January 1855, on the "William Miles". George was listed as a labourer, and it was stated that they both could read.
As they had arrived in Queensland they may have been unassisted migrants. Possibly their passages were paid for by the Clarke family.

John Lachlan Ross arrived in South Australia some time before 1887. It appears that his sisters Alexandrina and Hughina, with their husbands, had both lived in South Australia, at least around 1883-1884, as they both had children born there. It is possible he either travelled with them or joined them later.
Sara Bugg, aged 22 and John Lachlan Ross, aged 24 years, were married 15th September 1887. Her father was listed as William Bugg, however most other records have him listed as Henry Bugg. Her mother was Mary Ann Hams.

Their children were:
Christina Mary Ann born 16th April 1888, Ruby Grace Ross born 11th January 1891 [my grandmother], Ernest John born 6th April 1895, Heugheina Victoria born 11th April 1902 [name as spelt in record].
Sarah and John also raised Wilbur Mitchell Ross born 4th June 1909.

Sarah/Fanny Ross died 22nd July 1938 at Helmsdale. [My mother had said that her grandmother's name was Sarah, but in the Birth Registers her name was always given as Fanny, and in the register of her death and burial. It is only in the Marriage Register is this name given as Sarah].

Christina Ross married Robert Cain on 28th February 1920. Her age was 31, and he was 35 years old. His father was Michael Cain, and he came from Victoria. Christina died 25th February 1957, and her husband died 12th September 1865.

Hughina Ross [known as Nin] married Albert Edward Frankcom on 19th May 1923. She was 22 and he was 21. His parents were William George Frankcom and Caroline Stacey. The marriage ended in Separation or divorce.
Their children were Constance, Ronald and Malcolm.

Ruby Ross married Frederick James Read. 24th January 1914.
Their daughter Eileen Gwenda was born 16th June 1914. [my mother]

Their son Walter Ernest was born 17th December 1917.

Ruby died on 20th December 1917, 3 days after the birth of her son Walter.
Walter was raised by Christina and Bob Cain, but Frederick Read, would not allow them to adopt him.

Ernest John Ross [known as Dodger] married Anita Friebe on 2nd March 1918. Their only child, Ruby, was born 29th July 1918.

Notes
General:
Information on Lachlan & his wives and children is taken from a website that sets out Church Records for Erriboll Scotland and Census details for that town for 1841, 1851, 1861, and 1871. www.donjgrant/me.uk but it is necessary to type www.donjgrant/me.uk/smer.html to find the page with the Erriboll data on it..

Lachlan Ross may have had additional children, as they census were carried out 10 years apart it is likely that is the case.

William Rout was born in Deptford, 1790 and migrated to Hobart with his first wife Lucy in 1835. He became quite well off in Tassie and was a founding member (one of 12) of the Anti Transportation League that in 1853 achieved what its name suggests.

The League had a banner which is the same as today's Australian flag but without the large 6 pointed star (which represents the states); The League also changed the name for Van Diemen's Land to Tasmania and secured self government for Tasmania from England. All three events (i.e. self government, name change and cessation of Transportation) occurred on 10th August 1853 which became "Tasmania Day".

That day in 1853 was celebrated across the colony with many town parades and nearly every town lit a large fire that night. The celebration never lasted however because the newly formed Tasmanian government did not want to give the impression they were celebrating freedom from England who was still very much their master, and so Tasmania Day was suppressed and has become lost in history. Nothing has ever been written about William Rout and so he too became lost in history. My interest started because Rout built himself a country residence in Newtown (an old suburb walking distance from Hobart City). The residence contains an ancient tower at one end which Rout built as a monument of love to his second wife (26 years his junior) in 1852. "The Towers" as the property is known was purchased by a friend of mine and so I researched the history. For me, Routs main legacy is Tasmania Day and the events behind it, including our Australian flag.

Notes
General:
Benjamin Rowe was a tailor and lodging house keeper. He married Mary Cruse in 1806 probably at Stoke Damerel, Devonshire. The Banns lists Benjamin as WILLIAM Rowe, but he has signed his name as Benjamin in the signature section of the record though the name has not been corrected at the top of the record.

Notes
General:
I cannot confirm Benjamin Rowe;s marriage.

I have found some items that show he may have been imprisoned when he was in his 20's for assualting a peace officer. I have also found a Benjamin Rowe of the correct age who boarded a ship at Gravesend to go to Melbourne Australia in 1873. I have also found the death in 1881 at Tavistock England of a Benjamin Rowe of the correct age. I have been unable to find out if these items relate to this Benjamin Rowe. The Criminal record does record Benjamin as Benjamin Jnr so it is likely at least the criminal record is the correct Benjamin

Notes
General:
The 1851 census of St Helier District 3 shows that John Perkins, head of the household, a bricklayer, aged 24, and his wife Elizabeth aged 36 along with Mary, John and Emma Barkell, step children aged 15, 6 and 2 respectively all lived at 2 Patriotic Place St. Helier. John was said to have been born at Jersey, whilst Elizabeth and children were said to have been born in England. It is unknown when Betsy moved to Jersey.

John's wife, Betsy (Elizabeth Rowe) previously married William Barkell, a miner on the 6/7/1833 at Tavistock. Presumably William Barkell had passed away sometime prior to Betsy moving to the Channel Islands.

The 1851 Census at Tavistock shows Betsy Rowe's parents, Benjamin Rowe, his wife Mary and children John, 40, Charity 21 John Addams 1 Grandson were living at 61 Banawell St Tavistock.
Research in England has found the birth of Mark Perkins at Stoke Damerel in the September quarter of 1857 but there is no entry for Eliza Perkins from 1853-1855.

John PERKINS 31, Betsy, 43, John 11, Emma 9, Eliza 3, Mark infant all from Jersey, England sailed to Australia on the ship "Victory" which sailed from Plymouth on 29 July, 1857 and arrived in Melbourne on 4 November, 1857. They left the ship on their own account in Melbourne. New information has shown that Betsy was John's wife and they married on Jersey. Betsy had been married before and had 3 other children. they were Elizabeth, b c 1833 England, Mary Ann b c 1835 England William b c 1837. According to Betsy's death certificate, John Perkins 2, is the son of Betsy's first husband and Emma, Eliza and Mark were the children of John PERKINS. The name of Betsy's first husband was researched in England and it was discovered that his name was BARKELL.

Betsy's death certificate states that Emma was the child of Mark Perkins, however, this information needs to be checked. Also her mother's name is given as Mary Penwarden, and father is given as Benjamin Rowe, Hotel keeper.
