Francis Davison Forsyth, aged' 47, who had been employed by Messrs. D. & J. Fowler for about 16 years, committed suicide at his residence in Flinders-street, Kent Town, on Sunday evening. The City Coroner (Dr. Bamsay Smith) held an enquiry into the circumstances at the late residence of Mr. Forsyth on Monday afternoon.
Linda Forsyth identified the body as that of her husband. He was a warehouseman, and had been in the employ of Messrs. D. and J. Fowler, wholesale grocers. About 6.30 p.in. on Sunday witness went to church, leaving her husband home with his mother.
When witness returned home the mother said she had heard a noise in the cellar, and thought that a cat had knocked something over. Went to the cellar and found that the door was locked. Forced the window open, and climbed through the opening into the cellar, where she discovered her husband' hanging by a rope, a noose having been slipped over his head. Cut him down immediately, but life was extinct. The deceased had been depressed in spirits lately.
On Sunday morning he had complained of severe pains in the head, and had his break fast and dinner in bed. One of his subordinates at Messrs. D. '& J. Fowler had got into trouble recently, and the deceased appeared to grieve over the matter.
The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased committed suicide by hanging, he being of unsound mind at the time. | Francis Davison FORSYTH

BIRTHS.
On the 7th instant at the Public School, Sugarloaf, the wife of George Forsyth of a daughter.
Wagga’s first Post Office was established on January 1, 1849. Frederick Thompson was appointed Post Master. In 1858, George Forsyth, became Post Master at Wagga; a year and a half later, Patrick S. Murray took over.
While Forsyth and Murray were in charge, the Post Office was in Forsyth’s store on the corner of Kincaid and Fitzmaurice Streets.
On 15 March 1870, Wagga Wagga was incorporated as a municipality and George Forsyth was chosen as the first Mayor of Wagga Wagga (1870-1874).
In the first Council meeting, held on 20 June 1870, George Forsyth was elected as Mayor.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wagga's Wagga's first store was adjacent to Uneke, being part of a building erected in 1849 by Dr R Davison on two Crown lots fronting Fitzmaurice and Kincaid Streets. At that time, his Wagga store was the first in the emerging town and the only one on the Murrumbidgee River below Gundagai. In 1855, Davison sold his store to G Forsyth and Company - headed by George Forsyth, who was to go on to become Wagga?s first mayor when the town was declared a municipality in 1870. Forsyth owned a large tract of land in the Fitzmaurice-Kincaid Street area. The corner site was his grain and produce store, where he combined his Fitzmaurice Street business with a stock and station agency and he opened his Bond Store in Kincaid Street in 1868.
In the 1920s, the area, which was to become known as the Crown Corner, housed the popular fresh fruit and confectionary store/refreshment rooms run by Italian immigrants, Samuel and Robert Picone. From the 1940s through to the 1960s-70s, it was the site of the Crown Corner Café, a popular eating place for the many stock and station agency workers in the area. In the 1990s, the building was a lighting retail shop and reverted to its café heritage with the opening of Uneke Lounge back in 2010.

He arrived in Sydney in the early 1840s and for some years superintended a station on the lower Murrumbidgee River. In 1850 Forsyth with his brother Thomas established a store where the Port Phillip road crossed Tarcutta Creek near its junction with the Murrumbidgee. There on 31 December 1851 he was married by Bishop William Grant Broughton to Margaret Anne, sister of John Gordon, a neighbouring pastoralist. In 1855 Forsyth bought a store in Wagga Wagga, then a thriving village of about 300 people. In the next twenty-one years the town's population grew to 3000 and the district prospered, and G. Forsyth & Co. developed a large wholesale and retail business. The firm was a 'universal provider' ever ready to diversify and in 1868 set up a bonded store for wholesale trading. In the gold rush G. Forsyth & Co. established a stock and station agency to capitalize on the thousands of stock passing southward through Wagga Wagga to the markets of Bendigo and Melbourne. In the Goulburn Herald, 1856, the firm advertised monthly sales because the travelling stockholders were often willing to sell on the hoof. In the late 1860s the firm of Wilkinson & Lavender emerged from G. Forsyth & Co.
For over twenty years Forsyth was also a civic leader in Wagga Wagga. He was prominent in the establishment and management of the Mechanics' Institute, the hospital, the National school and the Presbyterian Church and was a founding director of the Wagga Wagga Bridge Co. which built the toll bridge across the Murrumbidgee in 1862. He was voted to the chair at many meetings and in 1870-74 he was first mayor of Wagga Wagga. In these faction-ridden years Forsyth was respected for his integrity. In 1876 when he decided to leave the town the Wagga Wagga Advertiser suggested that local residents plan 'a right royal parting testimony to the worth of our good King George'. In 1876 Forsyth retired to his property near Yarrangobilly and about 1880 moved to South West Rocks on the Macleay River. He died aged 70 in Kempsey on 26 May 1887 and was buried at Frederickton by a Wesleyan minister. He was survived by his widow and only daughter.

GEORGE FORSYTH OF WAGGA WAGGA.
Taken from “Tales Old and New of Forsyths in Australia” No. 2 by Les Forsyth.
The following is an extract from the Australian Dictionary of Biographies which tells the story of George. Other records show that there were four children. George 1852, Thomas 1854, Isabella A. 1860 and Margaret A. 1862.
“Forsyth, George ( 1817-1887), storekeeper and stock and station agent, was born at South Shields, County Durham, England, son of James Forsyth, shoemaker, and his wife Isabella, nee Williamson. He arrived in Sydney in the early 1840s and for some years superintended a station on the lower Murrumbidgee River. In 1850 Forsyth with his brother Thomas established a store where the Port Phillip Road crossed Tarcutta Creek near its junction with the Murrumbidgee. There on 31 December 1851 he was married by Bishop Broughton (q.v.) to Margaret Anne, sister of John Gordon, a neighbouring pastoralist. In 1855 Forsyth bought a store in Wagga Wagga, then a thriving village of about 300 people. In the next twenty-one years the town’s population grew to 3000 and the district prospered, and G. Forsyth & Co established a stock and station agency to capitalize on the thousands of stock passing southward through Wagga Wagga to the markets of Bendigo and Melbourne. In the Goulburn Herald, 1856, the firm advertised monthly sales because the travelling stockholders were often willing to sell on the hoof. In the late 1860s the firm of Wilkinson & Lavender emerged from G. Forsyth & Co.
For over twenty years Forsyth was also a civic leader in Wagga Wagga. He was prominent in the establishment and management of the Mechanics’ Institute, the hospital, the National School and the Presbyterian Church and was a founding director of the Wagga Wagga Bridge Co. Which built the toll bridge across the Murrumbidgee in 1862. He was voted to the chair at many meetings and in 1870-1874 he was the first mayor of Wagga Wagga.

He died aged 70 in Kempsey on 26 May 1887 and was buried at Frederickton by a Wesleyanb minister. He was survived by his widow and only daughter.”
Only one addition to the biography is thought necessary and it comes from K. Swan’s “History of Wagga Wagga”.
“For about twelve months before the election of the first Council he was away from the town ill; in fact, he must have been nominated in his absence for an alderman. And when he returned to the town on 25 April, 1870 he made a triumphal entry described in this way:
On Monday Mr. George Forsyth after an absence of more than twelve months returned to Wagga. Notwithstanding the heavy rain, a large number of persons, including most of the leading residents, went several miles out to meet him and escort him into town.
As the procession consisting of about a dozen buggies and several horsemen passed up Baylis Street, the balconies, verandahs, etc, were crowded and waving handkerchiefs and hearty cheers testified to the general delight at Mr. Forsyth’s restoration to health and to Wagga.
That was the way it was done in 1870.
Monday 17 July 1933.
“Wagga Sunday - When Mr. George Forsyth was elected first Mayor of Wagga, in February, 1871, he held the office for four years, and was presented with a silver service, manufactured in Melbourne, and costing two hundred pounds.
Recently this service was offered for sale by the descendants of Mr. Forsyth. Experts describe the four pieces as representing a high standard of the silversmith’s art. The moulds were destroyed when the service was made to prevent
copies”.
“ Mr. George Forsyth, formerly of Wagga Wagga a Justice of the Peace and member of the land board, died suddenly at the Star Hotel, Kempsey, today. Deceased arrived in Kempsey yesterday. While seated at dinner he became sick, and was removed to the sofa. Death ensued almost immediately. Dr. Casement certified that death was the result of syncope of the heart”
Friday, 27th May, 1887.
Trove was full of him, but, some of the items could not be opened and had the notation “coming soon”.
Australian Town and Country Journal Saturday 11 June 1887 Page 16

The death occurred on the 2nd inst., of Mr. George Forsythe, at his father's residence, near Noradjuha. After an illness lasting a little over a year, this fine young specimen of manhood was claimed a victim by that dread disease, consumption. Deceased, who was 27 years of age, served his country with the sixth Battalion Commonwealth Horse in the South African war. - He was an ac- tive member of the Noradjuha Rifle Club, and as a mark of comradeship the members of the club accorded him a semi-military funeral at the Nurrabiel Cemetery on Wednesday, where his remains were buried beside those of his late mother. The deceased was a highly respected and exemplary young man, and much sympathy is expressed with his father, brothers and sisters, in their sad bereavement. | George FORSYTH
