Peter James MARTIN
New South Wales Police Force
Born 23 November 1940
Died 31 December 1993
SUNDAY 9 APRIL 2006
In the yard of a small Churst at a place called ( Goulburn Police Patrol ) ‘BIG HILL’ WE STOPPED AT A CHURCH AND TOOK A FEW GRAVE PHOTOS IN THE Cemetery BEFORE HEADING OVER TO TARALGA AND THEN BACK TO GOULBURN.
THIS PLAQUE HAS THE NSW POLICE CREST BADGE ON THE UPPER LEFT CORNER. I DON’T KNOW THE STORY BEHIND IT AT THIS STAGE.
020108: Note added:
We were driving around aimlessly one day (090406) in the depth of Goulburns Patrol and we came upon this small Church at a place called ‘Big Hill’. Nothing there except for this Church and a few headstones. One of the headstones had the NSW Police Crest on it – together with another Crest – which is the Free Masons Crest. Even though it is relatively a new grave – the fact that it has the NSW Police Crest was interesting. I have no idea who he was, where he was Stationed etc or what the reference to Eucumbene is. I assumed that he has a Head Stone at ‘Big Hill’ (Goulburn / Taralga) but is buried at Eucumbene. But Peter James Martin was only 53 when he died and died on New Years Eve. I did a “Google” search on him but didn’t find any information on him.

What a beautiful person Viv was! I can hear her laugh and see her smile. I don’t think a sentence was said by her, without that gorgeous laugh. We’re so glad we saw Viv and Jeff last April 2013, in Charlotte NC and did some lovely things together. We didn’t know and she was marvelous. Our lives are richer for knowing Viv. We are sorry we can’t be there this Saturday but our thoughts are with you Jeff and the entire family.

Born in Australia on 22 January 1952
Passed away on 19 May 2014
Aged 62 years
Committal service will be held at Northern Suburbs Crematorium, North Chapel, 199 Delhi Rd, North Ryde, NSW, Australia on Saturday, 24th May 2014 at 9:00am.
I am sorry to learn of your family sorrow. The death of a loved one is painful. If I may, I’d like to share a scripture found in the Bible that may comfort you in some way. John 6:40 reads, “For this is the will of my Father, that everyone that beholds the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life, and I will resurrect him in the last day.” You see, according to this promise, we have hope.

TUESDAY 21 SEPTEMBER 2010
I FOUND THIS NAME PLATE IN THE GARDENS OF THE FUNERAL HOME AT LEPPINGTON, ON CAMDEN VALLEY WAY. THE MEMORIAL IS OPPOSITE THE CAFE’.
NOEL THURGOOD WAS A SGT 2nd Class AT FAIRFIELD IN THE LATE 1970’s.
…….
I EVENTUALLY LOOKED UP THE PHONE BOOK AND FOUND THE WIFE OF NOEL THURGOOD, Grace, WHO TOLD ME THAT IT WAS, IN FACT, OUR NOEL THURGOOD AND THAT HE DIED ON HIS 50th BIRTHDAY.
NOEL AND HIS WIFE WERE VISITING FAMILY IN ENGLAND AND NOEL WAS IN THE LAUNDRY OF THE PREMISES THEY WERE VISITING WHEN HE COLLAPSED AND DIED.
I REMEMBER THAT NOEL HAD LIGHT BLUE EYES AND A STY OVER ONE OF HIS EYE LIDS.
Further information is needed and sought about this matter. – May 2014
