    Notes:

    His wife, Rose Mary McGINTY, was unfortunately the victim of murder on 2 Apr 1891. The perpetrator of that crime was one John FINNIGAN who was sentenced to death. His sentence was commuted to life imprisonment with hard labour. FINNIGAN was released on 9 Dec 1907 with remissions for good behaviour etc.
    (Ref. VPRS 515/44/p.390, Prisoner No. 24701)

    At the time of this tragic event Henry Thomas SUMNER was in gaol serving a sentence for counterfeiting of half-crown coins. According to newspaper accounts of the murder and trial five of the six children had been placed into the care of the Department of Neglected Children prior to the death of their mother, presumably on the conviction of their father for coining. Set out below are extracts from the criminal record books relating to Henry Thomas.

    Melbourne Gaol, 18 Mar 1889, to freedom by bail.

    Melbourne Gaol, 12 Nov 1890, to freedom by bail.

    Melbourne Gaol, 15 Dec 1890, 2 February, 1891, having an article improperly, 2 days close confinement on 1/2 rations.

    Pentridge Gaol, 23 Dec 1890, 4 January, 1892, having a knife improperly, 24 hours solitary confinement.

    Pentridge Gaol, 28 Jun 1892, disorderly conduct, 3 days solitary confinement.

    Pentridge Gaol, 22 Jul 1892, to freedom by remission.

    The second to last entry on his criminal record is as follows:
    28/6/96, Disorderly Conduct, 3 days sol conf cum [solitary confinement cumulative] ed.
    The puzzling thing about this entry is that it is long after his confinement in Pentridge Prison and about 5 months before his demise on 15 Nov 1896. Perhaps he took some leave from his labouring employment at Rutherglen and journeyed to Melbourne and fell off the wagon and drank too much, with predictable results.
    ____

    At his trial for counterfeiting, crown evidence was given against him by both his eldest son Charles Henry Joseph SUMNER, and eldest daughter Alice Rose SUMNER. Charles showed the police the hiding place used by his father for some of his plaster moulds. These reports also relate the fact that the marriage of Henry and Rose was strongly opposed by her parents (Joseph and Alice McGINTY). It is even stated that they took legal action in an attempt to secure an annulment of the marriage, presumably on the grounds of the age of Rose (18) or the fact that she married outside the Roman Catholic faith.

    Witness my hand this 16th. day of November one thousand eight hundred and ninety six."

    Several of the witnesses called to the inquest, clearly stated that Henry was sometimes of 'intemperate' habit with regard to alcohol consumption. This behaviour had been noted in different circumstances in earlier days.

    Victorian Death Registration: 1896/15144 shows his age at death as being 36 years which is incorrect. It should be shown as 39 years.

He was fostered by people in the Bendigo area and later at Gisborne from where he absconded on 26 September 1894.

    Neglected Childrens' Registers
    Charles SUMNER, 1880, Vol 11, p.175.

    He did not return to the system although he was in contact with the department on several occasions including one instance where [sadly] he was refused the address of his youngest brother Arthur. The reason for the refusal appears to be they believed him "to be a wanderer and were unable to ascertain anything concerning his general character". He certainly did change his address many times as the records show him living in Port Darwin NT, Manly NSW, Preston VIC, Reservoir VIC and High St. Preston where he worked as an assistant cook for Mr. F.J. Vincent, Dairy Farmer. This confirms the family story that he worked as a cook. There is also a family legend suggesting that he spent some time in New Zealand and in the "islands".

She was fostered at several addresses in the Bendigo area and later at Ascot Vale, Williamstown, Brunswick, Moonee Ponds, Cape Clear and Highton.

    As was the custom, her term in that system expired on her eighteenth birthday (23 Aug 1899) presumably while she was still at Highton where she was in the care of a Mrs. COWAN. One can safely guess that this is where she first met her future husband Frederick Forbes HERD (1872-1944). On her record there is a note as follows: "girl is engaged to a young man named HERD, 29/4/01".

    Bruthen and Tambo Times, Wednesday 2 Jan 1907

    Drowned in the Tambo River
    Henry R. [sic] SUMNER, a groom employed at Davidson's Bruthen Inn, met his death by drowning, in the river on Sunday afternoon last. The day was very hot and [the] deceased with two companions, George SMITH and Andrew SMITH respectively, betook themselves to a deep hole in the river, about a mile from the town, for a swim. According to the evidence adduced at the enquiry they remained in the water for about two hours and had only got out, somewhere about 4 p.m., when a cry for help was heard from one of a number of lads who were bathing in the pool. SUMNER and Geo. SMITH immediately responded and Phillip KING, the lad who had appealed for help, having been put in a place of safety by SMITH, [the] deceased, who was within two yards of KING, suddenly called out "I am drowning" and sank. Most of those present thought he had dived but as he did not re-appear Andrew SMITH swam to the spot where he was last seen, but as he could not dive he was unable to render any aid. The alarm was given by Norman STRANGE and Constable HOWARD, Mr. C. DAVIDSON and Mr. G. McDOUGALL were quickly on the spot. The last named and others dived into the water which is about 13 feet in depth, but failed to locate the body. Grappling irons were subsequently obtained and the river dragged until nightfall, but without result. It was then determined to suspend operations for the night and to procure a boat for the morning. On Monday work was resumed by Messrs D.T. KING, Geo. McDOUGALL, Constable HOWARD and a number of others. After about an hours' searching the body was located and brought to the surface, and subsequently conveyed to the Bruthen INN.

    The deceased, Henry SUMNER, was about 20 years of age. He had been in Bruthen for the last twelve months, but is believed to have originally come from Bendigo. A brother lives at Sydney, a married sister at Belmont and an unmarried sister at Murrumbeena. SUMNER bore an exemplary character, being a sober and well behaved young fellow. The sum of 17 pounds was found in his room. Mr. HEARD, [sic] a brother in law of [the] deceased's, arrived in Bruthen on Tuesday and arranged for the burial to take place this afternoon.

    A magisterial enquiry as to the cause of death was held at Davidson's Hotel at 2:15 p.m. on Monday. Dr. BOND, J.P. acted as coroner and Constable HOWARD conducted the examination.

    Geo. Henry McDOUGALL, storekeeper, sworn, said:- I knew Henry SUMNER for the last six months; He had no relatives in Bruthen; in consequence of hearing something, I went to the Tambo River, near Mr. STIRLING's paddock, about 5 p.m.; I dived several times but did not succeed in finding anything; the river bed at that point is sandy and rocky and is about 13 ft. deep; on Monday morning I again proceeded with others to the river; we had procured a boat, and after an hour's search I found the body of [the] deceased in some 8 ft. of water, just about where he was last seen. The body was naked and the arms were doubled up close to the body; no marks of violence were visible; the body was about 25 ft. from the East bank of the river, and about 50 feet from the sandbank in the middle of the river. I identify the body as that of Henry SUMNER. I obtained the body on the lower side of the sunken sandbank amidst some rocks.

    Phillip Cardigan KING, a lad of 11 years, residing at Bruthen, deposed: I knew Henry SUMNER about six months; I remember Sunday 30th. December; I was swimming in the afternoon in the Tambo River, above Murphy's crop; there were a number of boys swimming there; there were three young men also present; their names were Andrew SMITH, George SMITH and Henry SUMNER; I was swimming to the sunken sandbank to go out when I got "puffed" and called out "Help! I am just about done." George SMITH ran down and jumping in swam to me and pushed me with his feet on to the bank; Henry SUMNER followed George SMITH and tried to swim to me and got within two yards when he called out "I am drowning"; I held my hand out to him but he did not offer to take it; his head sank below the surface and he was kicking; I did not see him alive again: there was no sign of him, not even a bubble: George SMITH was down on the log about 12 yards away; my brother Charlie was about six yards behind me; [the] deceased was in the habit of calling out in fun that he was drowning.

    Geoge Pentland SMITH, carpenter, Bruthen, sworn, said: I knew the deceased Henry SUMNER for about four months; I went for a swim about 3 p.m. with Andy SMITH and [the] deceased to a hole in the Tambo River, near Murphy's paddock; a number of lads arrived there about an hour later; all there present were swimming; [the] deceased was in about two hours: Harry SUMNER, Andy SMITH and myself had left the water and were dressing, when one of the boys named Charlie KING called out to me to go and help Phil KING, as he was getting done for; I ran round and swam across to Phillip KING and pushed him on to the sunken sandbank; I tried to get to Phillip KING again but the current was too strong, and as I was getting weak I swam with the current to a log on the Eastern side of the river; I did not see [the] deceased until I got to the log, when I saw his head go down as I turned round; I did not hear him call out and I did not see him alive again; [the] deceased told me he was subject to cramp in the toes; I was about 12 yards from [the] deceased when he went down; I was too exhausted to make any effort to save [the] deceased; Andrew SMITH went into the water, but I do not think he dived after him; [the] deceased was only a yard from the sandbank when he went down; the water at that part is about 12 ft. deep; I consider [the] deceased to have been a fair swimmer; during the afternoon [the] deceased several times put his head under water and pretended to be in danger; I believe [the] deceased exhausted himself in endeavouring to swim to Phillip KING against the current.

    Andrew SMITH, carpenter, of Bruthen, corroborated the evidence of the previous witness, adding, however, that had he not thought that [the] deceased was joking when he called out "I am drowning" he would have went to his aid at once. As it was, he jumped into the water and swam around several times, but did not dive as he had never done so.

    Charles DAVIDSON and Constable HOWARD also gave formal evidence.

    The Coroner found "That Henry R. (sic) SUMNER came to his death at Bruthen, on 30th. day of December 1906, from drowning by misadventure."

    By way of a rider, the Coroner said he should like to impress on parents generally the great risk in permitting children to bathe in unattended and dangerous holes in the river.

    Occupation:
    Davidson's Bruthen Inn

    Inquest:
    Dr. BOND, JP acted as coroner and found that Henry SUMNER came to his death at Bruthen, on the 30th. day of 1906 from drowning by misadventure.

    Notes:

    Victoria Beatrice (Queenie) SUMNER (1887-1958) was committed to the Neglected Childrens System (No. 17812) on 24 Nov 1890 soon after the arrest of her father for coining (counterfeiting). She was fostered at several addresses in the Bendigo area and later at Murrumbeena, Kongwak and Geelong. She absconded in 1903 only to return after two days. Her record also shows the sad fact that she was fitted with an artificial eye at the Eye and Ear Hospital after an accident on 26 August 1901.

    Notes:

    Arthur Westwood SUMNER (aka HIDE) was not placed into the Neglected Childrens System as were his brothers and sisters at the time of his father's detention in Pentridge Prison in Dec 1890. His mother attempted to look after him until her sad demise (victim of murder) in Apr 1891 and one can only surmise that perhaps her parents looked after him until he was admitted as neglected child number 18609 on 5 Aug 1892. On 17 Aug 1892 he was probated to Mrs. HIDE of Richmond whose later address is shown as 15 Park Street, Abbotsford on 30 Oct 1905. His time as a neglected child expired on 9 Mar 1908 on his eighteenth birthday.

    SUMNER, Arthur Westwood, aka HIDE, Arthur Summers HIDE, 1890, Vol 13, p.271.

    According to his late son Ian, Arthur HIDE was "under a cloud for years" wondering about who he was. He knew that he was adopted, but little if anything more.
