Rev. T. HELY-WILSON
The death of Rev. T. H. W.Hely-Wilson occurred on Wednesday at Manly, where he had lived in retirement since 1938. Mr. Hely-Wilson was ordained in 1898 in the diocese of Riverina (N.S.W.), and served at Broken Hill and Hay before coming to Queensland in 1903. His appointments included the Rectory of St. Luke's, Rosewood, 1912-16; and the Vicarage of St. Thomas's, North Ipswich, 1918-21. A period of service as a chaplain to the A.I.F. in the first world war was later followed by periods as Seamen's Mission Chaplain and Chaplain in the Royal Australian Naval Reserve. The late Mr. Hely-Wilson is affectionately remembered in every sphere in which he served, notably at North Ipswich, where he carried on his work in spite of disabilities, the result of his war service. His quiet and sympathetic ministry made a lasting impression on all who experienced it. Since living at Manly he helped occasionally at St. Paul's, Manly, and spent a good deal of time in his garden and workshop. It was always a delight to him to show visitors around his garden. He is survived by his widow and grown up family.
