Hamilton Gordon, n.d.

from Pastoral Review, 16 July 1921

There passed away from heart failure on the 5th June at Strathbogie, Pembury, Kent, England, Hamilton Gordon, part owner of Gragin, Warialda, N.S.W., and at one time of Strathbogie, Emmaville, N.S.W., second son of the late Mr. Hugh Gordon, in his seventy-fourth year.

He was educated at the Sydney Grammar School and Sydney University, and with his elder brother, Mr. G. H. Gordon, took a keen interest in sport, especially cricket. On leaving the University he resided at and managed the property of his father, one of the pioneers of the district, and for some years member for the New England electorate.

On his father's death Strathbogie was sold, and Mr. Hamilton Gordon left for England, and after several years of travel, married the youngest daughter of the Count de Meirelles, and has since resided in England. He leaves a family of two sons and two daughters.
