- OBITUARY
MR. DANIEL CREAM. A PIONEER PASSES.
On Saturday afternoon last Mr. Daniel Cream, a pioneer of the Mullewa district, met with an unfortunate accident from which he received fatal injuries. The late Mr Cream, it appears, was riding on the front of a quarter-ton load of chaff which he was conveying from his home in to Mullewa and when opposite Criddle's Boarding House, at about 4 o'clock, some of the bags became dislodged and slipped down causing the unfortunate man to fall beneath one of the wheels of the cart which passed diagonally over his chest and head. Dr. Hobbs was quickly summoned and the sufferer removed to the hospital, when it was found that, a besides serious facial and scalp wounds, three ribs had been fractured and internal injuries sustained. Every possible attention was rendered but it was apparent that recovery was highly improbable and after nearly twenty-four hours of anxiety, Death proved supreme at 2.15 on Sunday afternoon.
The late Mr. Cream was nearly seventy-five years of age and was well-known throughout the Murchison particularly in Geraldton and Mullewa. His parents, the late Mr Timothy Cream, from Ireland, and the late Mrs. Mary Ann Cream (nee Miss Cushion) from England, arrived at Fremantle on the sailing vessel Saffire in the 'fifties and it was at this port that most of the family were born. Six children were of the marriage, these being: Mrs. Pead, of Perth, deceased; Mrs Smith, of Geraldton, deceased ; Mr. Jack Cream, of Geraldton, deceased, Mr. Tim Cream, of Rudd's Valley, via Geraldton ; Mr. Alf. Cream, drover ; Mr. Wm. Cream, manager Bidgemia station; the deceased, and a step-son, Mr. James Smith.
Later, they went to live at Geraldton where the deceased's father worked as a mason on many of the earliest buildings. At an early age the late gentleman opened a butchering business in Geraldton and marrying Miss Amelia Smith (who survives him), later kept the old Imperial Hotel at Eradu. His next occupation was that of agent at Mullewa for the supplying of timber to the mines further north.
Retiring from this business he took up land about two miles along the Ardingly road where he followed agricultural pursuits for the past thirty years, and rear-ed a family of 5 daughters and three sons : Mrs. J. Callaghan, Mullewa ; Mrs Gill, Wurarga, deceased ; Mrs. Lake, of Maylands ; Miss Barbara Cream, of Mullewa; Miss Gertrude Cream, of Perth ; and Messrs Everett (killed in action in France), and Jack and Albert Cream, of Mullewa. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, the cortege leaving the Roman Catholic church at four o'clock and travelling to the Roman Catholic portion of the Mullewa cemetery, where the remains were interred. A large number of friends and relatives were present and a number of floral tributes received. Genuine sympathy is felt for the bereaved widow and family in their tragic and sudden loss. [3]
