A private letter received from Melbourne on Saturday reported the serious illness of Mrs. Angus Lamont, who for fully 40 years was a resident in the Mersey district. She was on a visit to her daughter in Melbourne and went to a dentist to have some teeth extracted, which operation was followed by extensive bleeding. The unfortunate lady was in the Melbourne Hospital for two hours before it was stopped, and when brought home the bleeding recommenced, and it was an hour before the doctor stopped the terrible drain on her system, and she was in & weak condition when the letter was written. She had been visited by the Revs G. J. Mackay and W. E. Secomb, the former Baptist and Methodist ministers of Devonport. Mr. Secomb, by the way, is suffering from an attack of acute influenza, an ailment very prevalent in the Victorian capital.

Personal:
Mrs. W. J. Turner, of Scottsdale, is visiting her sister, Mrs. T. Ray, of Devonport East. Mrs. Turner's health has not been at all satisfactory for the last few months, and her family and friends hope that the trip will improve her health. Mrs. Turner (better known as Mrs. Lamont) has seen- many old friends during the short time she has been in Devonport, her former home. The severe climate or the conditions of Scottsdale have never suited Mrs. Turner. She has never been well since she settled there. It is hoped a month's change will have the desired effect.

Examiner (Launceston, Tas.) Friday 6 February 1925, page 7 - Woman’s World – About Women
One of the earliest pioneers of the Castra Road district passed away on Monday last when the death occurred of Mrs. W Turner of Lilydale. She had lived in several parts of Tasmania and consequently had a wide and numerous circle of friends. The late Mrs. Turner was born at Westbury 77 years ago and was the eldest daughter of the late William Nibbs, a local preacher in the Methodist Church at Westbury. In her girlhood her parents moved to Devonport, where she was married to the late Mr. Angus Lamont, who died some 20 years ago. From Devonport the couple went to Castra Road which was then in the nature of a dense forest. At this time there were only six other families in the district and the couple saw the locality gradually open up into a prosperous farming district as the years advanced. It was in the Lamont home that the Methodist minister used to conduct divine service in the district, the Lamont’s having been devout adherents to that faith all their lives. Many interesting stories she related in later years of the hardships and even adventures connected with pioneering in the early days. After having lived in Castra for several years she returned to Devonport and subsequently to Lefroy, where she is widely remembered today. At Lefroy she was married to Mr. Turner and subsequently lived at Scottsdale, and finally at Lilydale. She leaves her family of the first Marriage, Mrs. J H Will, of Cleveland Road, Launceston and Mr. C L Lamont of Lefroy. She is survived also by Mr. Turner and his grown-up family, Captain Frank Turner in the Salvation Army in Queensland, and Benjamin (Lilydale), Norman (Scottsdale), and Edgar (Wynyard), Mrs. Reeves and Miss Vera Turner (both of Lilydale). The funeral took place at Lilydale on Wednesday, Rev. J S Fletcher of Lilydale conducting the service. There was a large and representative cortege, and many beautiful floral tributes showed how deeply Mrs. Turner’s death was lamented.

OBITUARY. MR. ANGUS LAMONT - Examiner, Launceston 9 January 1902
. We regret to have to record the death of a respected resident of the N.W. Coast in the person of Mr. Angus Lamont, which took place at his residence, Little Fenton-street, West Devonport, at 6.30 p.m. on Tuesday. Mr. Lamont, who was 66 years of age, arrived in Tasmania in 1861 in the Broomielaw, in company with Mr. and Mrs. McPherson, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, his youngest sister (Miss C. Lamont), and a number of others, from Ayrshire, Scotland. After travelling throughout Tasmania, Mr. Lamont finally settled in the Castra district, having taken up a selection of land adjoining those of his three brothers-in-law, Messrs. McPherson, Stewart, and Dolbell. For some 14 years he carried on farming and contracting in that district, afterwards removing to Latrobe, where for some years he continued road contracting. Mr. Lamont visited most of the mining centres in Tasmania, and in some of the other states. With his family he has resided at Devonport for some years. Whilst with his sister, Mrs. McPherson, of Sprent, he took suddenly and seriously ill, and medical aid being obtained he was advised to go to Launceston, which he did, staying with his daughter, Mrs. Will, where he was treated by Drs. Webster and Cotterell for some internal complaint. The doctors holding out no hope of his recovery, Mrs. Lamont took him home, where Dr. Smith, of Devonport, attended him. Mr. Lamont expressed a wish to have his family with him on Christmas Day, and his wish was gratified. His five [surviving] children, ten grandchildren, and one son-in-law, together with his daughter-in-law, were present, the only members absent being Mr. George Bullock, of Epping, and Mr. Thos. Plummer, of Strahan. Much sympathy is felt for Mrs. Lamont and the family in their bereavement. The funeral takes place this afternoon at three o'clock.

The North Western Advocate and Emu Bay Times, Tas. Thursday 9 January 1902 - DEVONPORT.
Another old resident has joined the great majority — Mr. Angus Lamont, who passed peacefully away at West Devonport on Tuesday night. He was well known in the surrounding district, having lived in various portions over 80 years, and latterly had been working at Castra and Rosebery, and it is possible that the privations he endured in the latter district developed and aggravated the malady which finally overcame his hardy Scotch frame. He went to Launceston some time since, where at the house of his daughter, Mrs. J. Wills, he was attended by no less than six doctors, who pronounced his case hopeless, and shortly before Christmas he returned to his home to die; the end coming as above stated. He leaves a widow, two sons, and three daughters, for whom the utmost sympathy is felt; one son and daughter having previously succumbed to consumption, and another was accidentally drowned in the Mersey. The funeral will take place to-day at 8.30, the. Place of interment being the general cemetery, East Devonport.

The North-West Post (Formby, Tas.) Thursday 9 January 1902
It is with regret that we announce the death of Mr. Angus Lamont, an old and much respected resident of Devonport. Mr. Lamont who was 66 years of age, died at his residence on Tuesday evening, after an illness of over three months, the cause of death being an internal complaint. The deceased gentleman was born in Ayrshire, Scotland and came to Tasmania 42 years ago in the ship Broomielaw, bringing with him his three sisters and their husbands. They all settled at Castra, where Mr. Lamont carried on farming and contracting for 14 years. On leaving Castra he went to Latrobe, where he did a large amount of road contracting for the Government. He married Miss Nibbs, daughter of a well-known identity Mr. William Nibbs at what was then called Torquay, and was the father of 12 children, five of whom survive him. They are Mrs. Bunton and Mrs. Will of Launceston, Mrs. Bullock of Epping Forest, Mr. Angus Lamont of the s.s. Kamona, and Mr. Claude Lamont. The deceased gentleman was widely known throughout Tasmania and the new of his death will be received with genuine regret. Dr. Smith attended the sufferer at Devonport, while medical aid was also obtained at Launceston and Ulverstone. The funeral leaves his residence for East Devonport this afternoon at 3 o’clock.

H Clarke, the hymn “A Day’s March Nearer Home,” was sung, the request that this be done having been made by deceased before her death. The chief mourners were Messrs. Angus McPherson; Angus, Alexander and Simon Stewart (nephews) and Elvyn Dolbel (grandson). The pall bearers were Messrs. G Bingham, J McDonald, T W Wright and Alex. McLaren. A number of beautiful wreaths were placed on the coffin. The deceased lady was born in Portsea, Isle of Skye, in the year 1840, and arrived in Tasmania in 1857 with her brother, Mr. Angus Lamont, and two sisters, the late Mrs. D Stewart and Mrs. Duncan McPherson, mother of Mr. Angus McPherson (member of the Leven Harbor Trust). She remained at Launceston and Torquay for some time until 1865, when having married the late Mr. Henry Philip Dolbell, they removed to Sprent, and took up the homestead. At the time, they entered upon the life of pioneers there was practically no road – only a track made by paling carts. Here the late Mrs. Dolbell had to confront all the difficulties which beset those who first opened the now fertile lands of Leven, and in this struggle, she earned the esteem and appreciation of all who knew her. They had seven daughters and three sons, of whom only one daughter survives.

Daily Telegraph (Launceston, Tas) Monday 16 September 1895
DROWNING FATALITY AT EAST DEVONPORT - SEARCH FOR THE BODY.
On Thursday evening the community were Shocked to hear that a young man named William Lamont, the oldest son of Mr Angus Lamont, a very old resident of the district, had been drowned, and enquiry proved that the report was, unfortunately, only too true. It appears that the young man, who was 23 years of age, was proceeding with his cousin, George Howard, and a seaman and the cook of the ketch Swift, in the boat of that vessel, across the river, starting from the beach just above the Thomas Street jetty, where the Swift was lying. The cook was sculling the boat, and had hardly left the bank, when the tremendous current carried the boat, over which the sculler seemed to have no power, right under the stern of the ketch, where the boat was capsized in the vortex, and was dashed against the vessel with such force as to be completely smashed. Three of the occupants just escaped with their lives by clinging to the ropes by which the Swift was moored, but poor Lamont was sucked under the ship. It was just getting dark, and he was not seen again, but his hat was recovered floating upon the surface of the water, and pieces of the boat were found on the beach where also on Friday morning his mackintosh was stranded. The deceased was a hard-working, industrious young man, and had been a great help in the support of his family, who are thus so suddenly plunged into the depth of sorrow, and to whom the sympathy of the whole township has gone out in this sad hour of bereavement. On Thursday night a boat was manned, and the little bay leading up to the baths was dragged without result, and on Friday parties were scouring the beach in hopes of recovering his body; but, with the strong current which was running, and the position where the deceased was last seen, it is more likely that he was carried right out to sea. The boat of the Swift, or, rather, one half of it, as it was cut right across, has been picked up. A careful search of the beaches was being made on Friday out to Pardoe Point, and a messenger had also gone on to Port Sorrell.

Funeral Notice/Obituaries
Launceston Examiner, Thursday 17 September 1896
The death of a promising young man has to be recorded in the person of Mr. John T Lamont, son of Mr Angus Lamont of East Devonport who has succumbed to consumption, brought on by a cold that he unfortunately neglected. This happened last year while he was engaged at Mount Reid on a contract about which time a great sorrow befell the same family in the death by drowning of Mr William F Lamont. Mr John Lamont was a general favourite, being most gentlemanly in his demeanour. Just budding into manhood, he was an enthusiastic sportsman, a good cricketer, manly footballer, capital pigeon shot – above all a thoroughly good son, having been the chief support of his parents for many a year. Deceased was greatly esteemed by all who know him, and his cheerful face will long be missed on the NW coast. The funeral leaves his parents’ home this afternoon.

Launceston Examiner, Tuesday 22 September 1896
Funeral: The funeral of the late Mr J T Lamont took place on the 17th inst. At East Devonport, when the remains were followed by a large number of relatives and friends. The coffin which was borne by four of the deceased’s friends was covered with tasteful wreathes and crosses, and other tokens of the remembrance, showing in what high esteem he was held. The service was conducted by the Rev. Secomb in a very impressive manner, and Miss Aikin presided at the organ. The chief mourners were the father of the deceased, his two surviving brothers, Messrs. Angus and C H Lamont, his three sisters, Mrs Bunton, Mrs J Will (of Invermay) and Miss Lamont [Christina Katherine McPherson], and Mr J Will (brother-in-law). Much sympathy is expressed for the parents and friends.
