KINDRED.
Kindred, in company with other centres, is morning the passing away of the pioneers who in the early days laid the foundation of the agricultural importance which this district now enjoys. The last of the hardy farmers to pass over the Great Divide was Mr. Thomas Trebilcock, sen., who died on Monday evening. The deceased had been a resident of the North-West Coast for upwards of 50 years, during which time he had carried on farming pursuits in the Forth and Kindred districts. He was a native of Cornwall (England) and arrived in Tasmania with his parents at the age of seven years. They resided at King's Meadows, near Launceston, and then at Deloraine, afterwards removing to the coast. The deceased was a man highly esteemed for his many estimable qualities. He leaves a family of seven sons and two daughters, four of the former, being well-known farmers of Forth and Kindred districts, and two being in New Zealand and one in Queensland. One of the daughters is the wife of Mr. H. Cox, of Ulverstone, and the other, Miss F. Trebilcock, resides with her mother on the homestead at Kindred. The funeral took place at the Methodist Cemetery, Kindred on Wednesday afternoon, and was largely attended, residents from various coastal centres being present to pay respect to the memory of a man who had left behind him a life's record for integrity and honesty of purpose. The funeral service was performed by the Rev. L. I. Fielding, assisted by the Rev. F. T. Cleverdon. The pall-bearers were Messrs. A. C. Solomon, G. Wellard, R. Gibson and Percy Mulligan (nephews), and the chief mourners were the four sons of deceased (George, Reginald, Wason and Charles), Mess. William Trebilcock (brother), H. Powell and C. and W. Mulligan, (brothers-in-law) and H. Cox (son-in-law). Mr. A. M. Harman, undertaker, conducted the funeral arrangements.

It seems that some of Thomas's children went to New Zealand. Also some of the family dropped the "CK" off Trebilcock and became Trebilco.
