Mr. Charles Moss Davies, died early on Friday morning, after a few weeks suffering, the cause of death being Bnght's disease and a complication of other complaints.
He had been a resident of Windsor for many years, and was one of the best known men in the Hawkesbury district, his calling of a newspaper hand(?) having brought him into touch with every class of the community. On late years he had not been engaged in active journalism, though up to the time of his death he was the local correspondent of several Sydney papers.
He was the son of the late Mr. George L. A. Davies, who founded, about 40 years ago, the "Australian" newspaper, which he conducted for many years, assisted by his sons David, Charles and Harry. Some years later the subject of this notice became proprietor of the paper, and remained its editor and proprietor till it closed down about 15 years ago.
The late "Charlie" Davies, as he was familiarly known, was a genial spirit, and in the heyday of his life was a very popular man in this district. A leading member of dramatic and debating societies and cricket clubs, his services were much sought, and were freely given to any movement that stood for the progress of the district. As a brother journalist, he was always kindly-disposed towards and ready to help even those who were opposed to him in business, and had many traits which one could not but admire.
He married Miss Grace Ashton, and the faimily consists of three boys, the eldest two are growing into manhood. Mrs. Davies has for some years conducted a business in Windsor, and in the management thereof has shown that she possesses considerable business talent and tact. We sympathise with her in her bereavement, and sorrow for the death of a much-liked personal friend.
If he had a failing, he was good at heart, and if he injured anybody it was himself. Peace to his ashes.
The interment took place at St. Matthew's C.E. cemetery on Saturday afternoon, and was very largely attended. Deceased's brother Oddfellows of the Loyal Prince of Wales Lodge, in regalia, marched before the hearse, and the cortege was made up of many townsmen and country folk who knew and liked good old Charlie Davies.
Rev. J. F. Cherry, Rector of St. James', Pitt Town, conducted the last sad rites, and P. G. Bro. T. Lobb, D. G. M., read the solemn service of the Order over the remains of the deceased brother, and Mr. A. Price, of Richmond, conducted the funeral.
