"On Sunday morning there passed away to that bourne from whence no traveller returns a very old colonist and a pioneer of the Boort district, in the person of Mrs Barclay, senr. The sad event took place at deceased's late residence, Lake View Sreet, Boort. The deceased lady who had attained the ripe old age of 86 years had only been ailing for a short time prior to her demise. The cause of death was senile decay. The late Mrs Barclay came out to Geelong with her husband in 1851. After carrying on the business of a general store there for about seven years they removed to Ballarat and thence to Egerton, where they entered into farming pursuits. The late Mr Barclay was in Ballarat in business at the time of the riots in 1854, and had somewhat exciting experiences during that troublous period, being on one occasion arrested for having been concerned in the Eureka Stockade episode: he however obtained his release in proving that he was not a miner and had had no connection with the riot. Amongst the first selectors 28 years ago, Mrs Barclay with her husband and family settled in the Boort district, where they selected, and where she resided until her demise. Her husband predeceased her by a number of years. Deceased leaves a family of three sons and two daughters, viz., Messrs Isaac and Walter W Barclay, of Boort, and Mr John Barclay, of Ballarat, and Mrs D Wade, of Bolwarra, and Miss Barclay, of Boort. The interment took place in the Boort cemetery on Tuesday, the Rev. F Delbridge, Wesleyan Minister, conducted the funeral service. Mr H Rider carried out the mortuary arrangements."
