Death of Mr John W Barwick Ends Esteemed Gunnedah Resident
The death of Mr John William Barwick of Carellan removes a highly esteemed figure from the town and district. Aged 58, he was born at Scone and moved to Gunnedah as a young man. He held land at Kelvin known as Carellan from 1905 and was famed as a premier shearer in the North and North West. He led the Namal Independents club and played in Manilla cricket. He married the late W G Ashford, a former Lands Minister, and was a loyal committee member. A prominent member of the Gunnedah Church of England, he served as church warden and on the Board of Presentation. He leaves his widow and three children, Harry, Ken Barwick and Marion Barwick. The funeral from Christ Church attracted a large congregation of locals and district residents, with Rev R O Hara conducting the service.
