Text of the page (random words):
never married and had no descendants as his will prescribed this collection of property and cash became the possession of ellen bruyn that was a happy result for her in very sad circumstances the death of daniel justin bruyn however had a deeper tragedy at its heart the bathurst national advocate stated the matter plainly in a brief report published on monday 4 november 1912 under the heading pastoralist suicides daniel justin bruyn a prominent local pastoralist drowned himself in the williams river last night he left a note saying he was tired of the world and its worries deceased was a notable public figure in the town and formerly an alderman and holding high positions in all the local associations note of death by suicide in the bathurst national advocate the next day the dungog chronicle provided a much fuller obituary which provided details of the incident and demonstrated just how high a regard was had for mr bruyn in the town tuesday 5 november 1912 page 2 dungog has never had a more profound sensation than that provided by the tragic end of its most highly respected citizen mr daniel j bruyn on saturday morning last it began early that morning those about the town learned the news that he had left a note on the table at his home indicating his intention of taking his life stating that financial worries robbed him of sleep and that he was tired of life it continued it then offered this sad commentary he asked forgiveness of his sister for what he was about to do the chronicle had been advised that on the previous evening he had complained of feeling unwell and had taken some medicine after tea he had been talking to his sister on the verandah and about eight o clock got up and walked down the street towards the bridge that was the last occasion on which he was seen alive this is the verandah at the front of the house when we moved in late 2023 could this have been the same verandah referred to in the obituary of daniel justin bruyn this report indicates that daniel bruyn did spend time living in the house at brown street with his sister at least at this stage of his life as both were unmarried and as the house was ideally placed in the centre of town next to dark s burgeoning general store on dowling street near to the school of arts where the municipal council met it would make sense for bruyn of sugarloaf to have his base in brown st for such town activities indeed as the report states when his sister ellen became anxious for his absence in the early hours of the morning she went into his room and there on the table under a brush she found the note which explained everything it continues by noting that upon discovery of mr bruyn s body he was immediately placed upon a stretcher and conveyed to his late home that is the residence in brown st that he had so recently left and as we have seen when he was elected to dungog council in 1893 his residence is listed as brown street michael williams in his extensive survey of the historic buildings of dungog notes that street numbers were not used until the 1960s see ah dungog 2011 p 11 the detailed report of daniel bruyn s death in the dungog chronicle of 5 november 1912 noted that once his note was discovered and the alarm was raised at daylight a large crowd was busily engaged in searching along the river it being suspected that he would seek the water sure enough the report continues about eight o clock sergt bowen discovered the body fully clothed and with hat on floating in about 6 feet of water in the river at the foot of dark s paddock just about opposite the railway station and by a strange coincidence at the precise spot where a similar tragedy occurred a few years since it is surmised that he walked across the cooreei bridge and doubled down the river till near the fatal spot and plunged in from that side the cooreei bridge crosses the williams river about a kilometre out of town on the road that connects dungog with stroud the report continues with words that emphasise the regard felt for the deceased there was no more highly respected man in the whole of this community than the late mr d j bruyn and his death will remove from our midst one of the most prominent men he was recognised as one of dungog s notables then musing on the manner of his death it opines of a genial and equable disposition a keen business man and one who never shirked an obligation it is hard to understand what caused him to terminate his own life the full obituary for daniel justin bruyn published by the dungog chronicle just four days after his death the report further offers comments on the character of mr bruyn he was noted for his liberality in matters of charity and he has befriended many a one in this district who will sorely miss him from the town the report notes the fitting tribute paid to daniel justin bruyn when the news begame known in dungog flags were flown half mast from the public buildings in pondering a possible reason for this suicide the article offers a hypothesis noting that daniel bruyn has been in indifferent health of late and worried considerably over estates of which he was executor but his own affairs were in a flourishing state and he was a comparatively wealthy man it was probably the worry of other s business that unhinged his mind temporarily and caused him to put a period to his life the truth of this hypothesis however will never be able to be ascertained a correspondent in the maitland daily mercury on wednesday 6 nov 1912 p 2 further expresses the dismay of the locals at the news of daniel s death to say that dungog and district were struck dumb when it became known that mr daniel justin bruyn had left a note expressing his intention to end his life is putting the truth very mildly the deceased was about the last person anyone would have expected to do such an act he was a very quiet man of a retiring disposition and as far as an onlooker could see had less worry than most people he was more universally trusted than most men as proved by the number of wills in which he was appointed an executor and it is thought that his troubles were not his own but were those which he voluntarily shouldered for others daniel justin bruyn 1847 1912 of the funeral of daniel justin bruyn the dungog chronicle notes that as might be expected it was one of the largest seen here for many years the anglican minister the ven archdeacon luscombe officiated and wreaths were laid on the coffin from organisations including the school of arts the a and h association and the cricket club
