Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative Thu 20 Apr 1933
Mr, Don Gillespie
Mr Don Gillespie, a well-known Kandos business man, who has been ailing for some time, died in the Rylstone District Hospital on Sunday, and was buried in the Rylstone
cemetery. Deceased leaves a wife and one son, Don, to mourn.
Mr Gillespie was one of the pioneers of Kandos, coming here when the Kandos cement works were in their first constructional stage. With Mr Freestone, the consulting engineer, he
came from Scotland and worked on the aerial ropeway.
Shortly after this was finished he started in business in Mudgee as a cordial maker, and eventually drifted back to Kandos, where he remained until his death. His son is well known in the western district as an exponent of football, and has played with the Kandos team for several years.
Two other members of the family, both daughters, died about 6 years ago.
"Don," as he was known to every-body, was very well liked and well respected by all who knew him.
