                                 The Gundagai Independent 6th April 2006
A LONG LIFE WELL LIVED - Death of Ern Elphick
Ernest Edward ("Nugget") Elphick died suddenly at Gundagai Hospital on Tuesday

                                 just a little over a month short of his 100th birthday.
He would have turned 100 on 27th May.
Ern spent all his life in this district, at Back Station Creek, Nangus, Tarrabandra and Gundagai.
His death ends a long and good life, and severs a connection with a bygone era.
Ern was quite possibly the last surviving Australian who could claim a transported

                                 convict as a grandfather.
His grandfather, James Elphick, was among the convicts to be sent out from England

                                 in the 19th century.
His wife, Olive, a member of the Smart family, predeceased him.
Ern was the son of John and Olive Elphick.
His children Shirley Polsen, Eunice Wells, James ("Jim") and Harold survive him.
One daughter, Phyllis, predeceased him.
Fourteen grandchildren, thirty-five great grandchildren, and five great great grandchildren survive him.
For the last ten years Ern has been a resident of Uralba Aged Hostel.
Despite suffering from blindness, he was extremely self sufficient until about a year

                                 ago being able to dress and shower himself.
He bore his affliction with a remarkable fortitude, a courage which was typical of the

                                 man. "Nugget", as he was affectionately known, followed rural pursuits all his

                                 working life. He worked as a shearer and on properties for the late Bob Beatty at

                                 Tarrabandra and for the Crowe family at Gobarralong.
He bore a well-earned reputation as a top worker, always willing, ever loyal.
In fact he treated those of who he worked, particularly the Crowe family, as if they were his own.
He had a great love of the outdoors.
One of his favourite pastimes and money raisers was fox hunting.
In his younger days he played cricket and football and remained a fan of those sports throughout his life.
Ern was an immensely likeable man.
It was always a delight to be in his company.
He was a wonderful family man, and a true salt of the earth type, steadfast in friendship and always reliable.
Perhaps the greatest example he leaves us is the way he coped with his blindness, never letting that affliction dim his cheery nature.
His death ends a long life, lived well.
He was a true Australian.
His funeral takes place today, interment in the Nangus Cemetery following a service in St Paul's Church at the village at 2 p.m.
