Harry Hiscock

  General Notes:

Electoral Roll: - 1903 - West Boundary Road, Portland, Vic - farmer
1909 - "Allengrove", High Street, Lancefield, Vic - farmer.

Harry Hiscock was born in Hampshire, England about 1846. When he was 8 the family travelled to Australia on the "Northumbria". They finally settled at Pyalong where his father was a farmer.
On the 11th March 1910 Harry marred Janet Dixon at Kilmore. They had 14 children.
Harry followed in his father's footsteps and also farmed for a living. The family started off at Pyalong until about 1875. They then lived at Mangalore until 1889 when the family moved to Warraquil (now called Baker) which is in the Nhill district. In about 1892, Harry then had a career change, rented a premise at Geelong and ran a plant nursery.
The next move was to the Portland area where Harry again farmed. On the 1903 electoral roll the address was Boundary Road, Portland. They also owned a house in the Portland township.
Harry was a horse trader. He sold horses to the Indian Army. Harry and William Wallis (son Frank's Father-in-law) floated a sunken Ship and the wire on it was salvaged. The Wimmera was fenced with it. It was a thick plain wire .
Harry used to keep a fox on a chain when at Baker. Had two Aboriginal farm workers, one of them was a half caste Japanese.
He bought farms for his sons in the district. Only Tom stayed. The old farm at Baker was rented out by the twins, they were left it when their Mother died.
The final move was to Lancefield where a lot of both Janet's and Harry's siblings and relatives still lived in the surrounding areas.
Harry had returned home after a shopping trip and was unhitching the horse when it reared up. The jinker shaft hit him under the chin. The injury turned cancerous and caused his death in 1910 aged 63.
Lancefield Mercury, March 18 1910:-
On Friday last Mr Hiscock of "Pinegrove" Lancefield, passed away. He had been ailing for some time, and at the time of his death was in his 64th year. About two years ago Mr Hiscock removed to Lancefield from the Nhill district, where he had successfully carried on farming. Prior to taking up his residence in the Nhill district, Mr Hiscock put some years in the Pyalong, Goulburn and Forbes districts. He was highly esteemed by all those who know him, and general regret was expressed on all sides at his death. The funeral took place on Sunday, the cortege being a large one. The Rev W Laidlay (in the absence of the Rev W.F.Slade, who was conducting a church service at Cobaw) read the burial service, and Mr W.H. Moore carried out the mortuary arrangements.
Note:- The actual address in the death notice in the same paper was "Allengrove", High Street, Lancefield. When son Thomas died in 1913, the death notice in the paper stated that he had died at "Allengrove" Lancefield, the home of his mother.

Cause of death - Epithelioma (malignant tumour) of the lower jaw.
