  death other Child? 12885/1914 FORSYTH STEPHEN JAMES CATHERINE LIVERPOOL The Snowy River Mail and Tambo and Croajingolong Gazette (Orbost, Vic. : 1890 - 1911) Saturday 23 September 1899 p 3 DEATH. OF MR. JAS. FORSYTH. The residents of Orbost were deeply pained a few weeks ago to learn that Mr. James Forsyth, a prominent resi- dent of this district, was seriously ill with cancer in the lip. Some ten years ago an operation was performed on him, when a growth, which a pro- minent surgeon of Melbourne did not think was cancer but which he said might develop into one, was success- fully removed, with the result that Mr. Forsyth afterwards enjoyed an immunity from anything of the kind until about four months ago, when it was evident that he had cancer. No time was lost in obtaining the best medical advice and in undergoing an operation, but his case was soon pro- nounced to be hopeless. He began to suffer severely about two months ago, and gradually got worse until about five o'clock on Sunday evening last, when, at the age of 60, he expired at Footscray in the presence of several of his relatives. Mr. Forsyth was born in Scotland and came to Victoria in the early days. He spent some time on the gold-fields in New Zealand and was baking for some years in the Ovens district. Later on he kept a general store in Germanton, New South Wales, and came to Orbost about ten years ago. Although Mr. Forsyth did not take a very prominent part in public matters affecting this district, he worked hard in keeping our agricul- tural society together during his term of office as president. He was very popular in the district, and his death, which is sincerely regretted by a large number of friends, has left a gap that will be noticeable for a long time to come. Mr Forsyth leaves a widow, three sons and three daughters. One of his daughters, Mrs Sefton, is the wife of a station-master in New South Wales; Mrs W. Fisher, the second daughter, resides in Orbost, and the youngest, Miss C. Forsyth, is a nurse in the Bendigo Hospital. Mr George Forsyth is in business in Orbost, and the other sons are in New South Wales.
