The Lancefield Mercury. Thursday September 19th 1946.
MR. SIDNEY T. DERRICK.
In the death of Mr Sidney T. Derrick, which occurred at his home in High Street on Sunday morning, 15th September, Lancefield has lost one of the oldest, best known and most highly regarded citizens.
He was a son of the late William and Hannah Derrick, and he was the eldest of fourteen children, of whom six sisters and four brothers survive him.
He was born at Kew 84 years ago, and came with his parents to Lancefield at the age of five years. His early days were spent at the Lancefield State School, where the Methodist Church now stands, and he later attended Scotch College.
His first business experience was in association with his father in conduct of the post office and store during the period when the railway line to Lancefield was being constructed. He later opened the hardware and timber business in Raglin street, which he conducted for fifty years until his retirement about five years ago, when he returned to the residence to which he came 79 years before.
He had been associated with the Mechanics Institute, the Waterworks trust, the Anglers' Club, Rifle Club and the Golf Club, and for many years acted as auditor for the majority of local clubs and institutions. He was also the secretary of the I. O. R. for 56 years; was Registrar of Births and Deaths, a Commissioner for Affidavits, and he kept official rain records for 25 years. During the latter part of his life his main hobby was gardening, and he was recognised as an expert in the growing of flowers and vegetables. He was also a voluminous reader, and his mind was stored with useful information. Above all he was highly respected for his sterling integrity in all things.
Of his first marriage to Miss Harriet Hearle, there were two children, Phyllis and William. There were also two children of his second marriage, to Miss Helen Hiscock - Jean (Mrs. R. A. Green) and Mary (Mrs. T. Hogg).
To them and to Mrs. Derrick, we add our sympathy to that of the whole district in the passing of a very fine gentleman.
The funeral to Lancefield Cemetery on Monday was largely attended.
The coffin bearers were Messrs. W. Derrick, R. A. Green, A. Cumming and V. Hiscock. Pall-bearers were Messrs. John Derrick, W. Bevan, A. C. Galbraith, V. Butler, E. Muller, J. Tully, W. Stribbles and T. Hogg.
The service at the graveside was conducted by the Rev. A. C. Donnelly.
The funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr. W. A. Gallpen.
