RGI deaths 80/000276 Excerpt from the book "SWAN HILL" by Arthur Feldtman: "The Lower Murray Inn (at the corner of what are now CampBell and McCallum Streets) was the first accommodation for visitors to Swan Hill. John McCrae and Gideon Rutherford raised the sunken punt and used the timber to construct the Inn in 1848, building the nucleus of the town. A modest enough nucleus it was--a wood and log building of four rooms with a shingle roof and a front verandah. A liquor licence was necessary before the hotel was bult--even at this early date in our history. In a room at the rear of the Inn, mail was simply emptied out of the mail bag on to the general store counter, and the residents came in and sorted out their rare and precious letters for themselves. As this combined hotel and general store was owned and operated at the time by John McCrae, it was appropriate that on 1 January 1849 he was appointed the first official Postmaster at Swan Hill. The appointment was made by the infant colony's postal administration, and it is commemorated by a bronze plaque placed on the facade of the modern Swan Hill Post Office in 1964. After four years, McCrae was succeeded in the position by his brother-in-law, Gideon Rutherford, and, when the two men left Swan Hill in 1854 JEREMIAH Rolfe, who took over the licence of the Inn, also took over the postmaster's job. In 1857 there must have been a short drought for thirsty citizens, because on 3 July of that year Rolfe's licence was cancelled for a breach of the liquor laws, and the town was without a hotel. Rolfe's misdemeanour could not have been serious, because it was reported in the Bendigo Advertiser that on 31 August the licence had been restored. The next proprietor was Thomas Dick who had a hand in many business enterprises in the area. He ran the punt, had a butcher's shop, baker's shop, was a builder of some standing, and was involved in several other activities. Perhaps too many activities, as they led to his insolvency in 1860. The next owner was James, Gray, another punt operator, and it is appropriate that Gray promptly renamed the hostelry The Punt Hotel. Rolfe was followed by a succession of postmasters, two of whom were George B. Perkins and T.H. Sparkes. |
