DEATH OF MR. DAVID CHARKER.
Mr. David Charker, one of the best known and most respected residents of the district, died at his residence, Putland Street, St. Marys, on Friday, 30th ult., at the age of 79 years. Mr. Charker was born at Elder Park, Tottenham, St. Marys. After serving his time as a tanner, he lived for a time in other parts of the State, and went to Queensland. After some years, he returned to St. Marys and he lived there for the rest of his days. An injury received many years ago left him an invalid thereafter. Deceased's wife died about 30 years ago. He leaves one daughter (May) and one brother (Mr. Charles Charker, of Willswood). his brother, Mr. William Charker, died last year, and another brother, Mr. Tom Charker, many years ago. The funeral, which took place on Saturday afternoon, was well attended. The burial was in the C. of E. Cemetery, St. Marys, the Rector, Rev. C. R. King, conducting the service. The L.O.L., of which deceased was a member, was largely represented. Many beautiful wreaths were forwarded.
Mr William Freame writes:— "It was with profound regret that I learnt of the death of my old pal, David Charker. We possessed many things in common, and a friendship of over 25 years is now a fragrant memory. With his passing, another link with the very early days of the South Creek district has been severed. To my knowledge his family, has been associated with the district for well over 100 years, and, before that, with Prospect and Parramatta. Mr. Charker, as a tanner, was indeed a master craftsman, unexcelled in his fabrication of the finer varieties of colored leather. For years he was in business in Queensland, but for many years had been an invalid, residing in his own home town, where he has had the attention of his devoted daughter, Miss May Charker. Not withstanding his disability, Dave was a genial soul, full of humor and quaint pleasantries. He was a great admirer of the works of Charles Dickens and Henry Lawson, and used to invest several of our acquaintances with the names of his favorite characters. For a layman, he possessed a remarkable knowledge of the Bible; he could quote from memory whole chapters of the Old Testament. Vale, old friend!

Deceased was born in Parramatla in the year 1817, and removed to St Marys in 1832, being
then only 15 years of age. She was married to the late Mr William Charker, a native of Prospect, in the year 1834, at Cobbity, she and her husband going to reside at Elder Park, St Marys. With the exception of one removal (from one side of South Creek to the other) deceased lived on the Creek for 68 years. The late
well-known lady's husband predeceased her some twenty-one years ago.
The late Mrs Charker was a woman wonderful constitution, and up to a few years previous to her death was active and strong. She leaves behind three sons—William (aged 71 years), Charles (64 years), and David (61 years) ; and two daughters—Jane (the widow of the late Thomas Ryan, 75 years of age), and Emma (widow of the late Lawrence Rushton ?? years of age).

The Charker family, dating back for three generations, may be regarded as being amongst the earliest settling colonists of Australia. Of English extract, William Charker, the great grandfather of the present family of Charkers, was one of those stalwart men, possessed of indominant courage and strength, so prominent in all our early pioneers. Like many in his age, he acquired much property in land at Elder Park, Camden, and Mittagong. He chose Elder Park as a place of residence, and built a house there. Unfortunately, he died before it was completed. The Charker family were connected bymarriage with the Yorks of Emu.
