  	OBITUARY. MR. JESSE SHEATHER. A gloom was cast over the town when the news came to hand of the sudden death of Mr. Jesse Sheather who was on a visit to Forster at the invitation of the Cape Hawke Regatta Club, to officiate as umpire at their annual carnival. A few days previous to his death he umpired at the Mungo Brush regatta, a position he has filled for a number of years, and appeared to be in his usual health. He then made the trip to Cape Hawke with members of his family, who had a boat competing in the regatta there. On the afternoon of Friday, 29th he complained of not feeling well, and whilst lying by the fire he passed away suddenly. His end came as a great shock to his relatives and to his many friends. The deceased was held in very high esteem by the sailing people all along the coast. As a young man he was a competitor at different regattas, mainly on the Manning and Macleay rivers. Later in life he has acted as umpire to Cape Hawke, Mungo Brush, George's River, and several other regattas, where his judgement in matters concerning the same commanded the greatest re spect. Born at Taree 65 years ago he followed the occupation of fisherman practically all his life, working on almost every river in the north, and coming to Port Stephens 24 years ago, where he has resided ever since. His wife predeceased him 11 years ago, and he now leaves a sorrowing family of four sons and five daughters to mourn their loss. The sons are: Stephen Henry, Arthur Benjamin, Everet Albury of Tea Gardens, and Ernest Raymond, of Tanilba; daught- ers, Mrs. W. Phillips and Miss Mona of Tea Gardens, Mrs. Brown, Taylor's Arm; Mrs. Squires, Wootton, and Mrs. Harris, Sydney. His remains were brought to Tea Gardens for burial, being first taken to St. Andrew's church, thence to the Church of England portion of the Tea Gardens cemetery, the Rev. G. Rooke officiating at the graveside. Wreaths were placed on the grave by the following:- G. A. Engel and Sons. T. and J. Perrin. Mr. and Mrs. Alex McRae Mr. and Mrs. W. Burrows and family.
