Obituary
THE LATE MR. J. TRUSSELL
Mr. James Trussell, Manager of Cobdogla Station, near Overland Corner, who died recently, was one of the oldest colonists and one of the earliest pioneers on the Murray.
Few even, if any, were more widely or generally known in those parts. He came to the colony as a boy with Colonel Light in the brig Rapid in 1836, and served with him afterwards in a private capacity. He was with the Colonel when he died, and was present at the burial in Light-square. Subsequently he went into the employ of the late Mr. John Chambers, and ultimately was sent up the Murray, where by perseverance and hard work he became sole Manager of Cobdogla, a position which he occupied for forty-five years. The deceased seldom took a holiday or visited the city, devoting his life above all to his employers interests. An observant and shrewd judge of stock, energetic and hard-working, always ready and willing to learn, he soon gained the confidence of his employers. The deceased was of splendid physique, and of a hospitable and kindly disposition, and was an experienced horseman. On one occassion in trying to head a wild steer, the beast made straight for the Murray cliffs. Mr. Trussell tried to turn it in vain, and the steer went over. He threw himself off the horse on the brink of the cliff, and the horse and the steer were drowned in the Murray beneath. In the early days the blacks were very troublesome, and cattle rustling and horsestealing were rife. Many lively scenes took place, but the deceased managed to breast them all by his firmness and determination. Fearless and intrepid, he was the type of a manager for those times. Ever kind-hearted and true to those he knew, he was ever ready to give them a welcome and a "shakedown". "What we have got you are welcome to," was his greeting. The deceased was married twice, and six children, most of whom are grown up, survive him. He was sixty-nine years of age.
