ACCIDENTS AND OUTRAGES
On July 6, a young man named Thomas Bridges Gillow, 18 years of age,
respectably connected, of Green Street, near Faversham, was batting
against the Borden Club, at Borden, a village near Sittingbourne, when
he was killed by the ball hitting him hard under the left ear. It
appears that about half-past 1 the Green Street Club had gone in, and
Gillow had made a very fine cut at the ball, when the bowler threw
again, and the ball bounded from the ground. Mr. Gillow turnesd on one
side to escape the effect of the rebound, when the ball struck him on
the jugular vein, and killed him at once. he was seen to fall and the
game was stopped. Information being immediately sent to Sittingbourne,
medical assistance was obtained, but unhappily the young man was found
to be quite dead. Mr. Gillow was a nephew of Captain Gillow, of the firm
of extensive brewers at Sandwich.

OBITUARY Mr. WILLIAM FRYER, SENR.
Death has claimed another of our old identities. The latest to
journey to the unknown bourne was Mr. William Fryer, senr., who passed
peacefully away at the residence of his son, Mr. William Fryer, junr.,
in Percy Street yesterday afternoon, at the advanced age of 88 years.
Thus an interesting career was brought to a close.
The late Mr. Fryer, who was born at Ash, East Kent, in 1823, came of
a good old stock, his father being a Kentish shepherd, but died early in
life; but his mother lived to a ripe old age .Mr. Fryer's youth, and
for that matter a greater period of his life, was spent in Kent,
following the occupation of gardener and coachman to several
distinguished families in the country. In his pursuit he was in the
employ of Captain Gillow, who was the co-partner of Gillow and Wareham,
the famous Kentish brewers, for over 19 years, while he served in the
employ of other notables for long periods. Many an interesting yarn
could Mr. Fryer tell of his experiences as a gentleman's private
postilion and coachman, yarns which were interspersed with a
characteristic degree of humour.
At the age of 51 years, Mr. Fryer, accompanied by his wife and
family, left England in the emigrant ship Garnatic, and after a lengthy
voyage arrived in Picton, then a small settlement, in 1875. From Picton
he went to Blenheim, where he had remained, following his occupation of
gardener, until the last. A successful business was built up by him, and
he established a pretty little home for himself and family. Mr. Fryer
was the acme of energy, and right up till the beginning of this year he
could do a good day's work.
On January 6th, an internal complaint laid Mr. Fryer aside, and as
his condition became worse, he was removed to the Hospital, where he
remained a fortnight, finally returning home where he remained till his
death.
Considering his extreme age the deceased gentleman was always bright
and cheery, and his good-natured disposition had endeared him to many.
Time had not impaired any of his faculties, except that he suffered from
deafness, which resulted from exposure in all weathers during his
coaching days.
A family of four children, including Messrs. W. Fryer and J. Fryer
(both of Blenheim) and Mrs. Ray, wife of Senator Ray of Glenori, New
South Wales, and Mrs. Brewer, Dannevirke, mourn the loss or a kind and
loving father. Mr. Fryer was predeceased by his wife 14 years ago, and
by one daughter, Mrs. Oliver. There are also a large number of
grand-children and several great grand-children.
