Neil died when he was only 35 years old. -------------------------------------------- Sad Passing of N. Blennerhassett Last Sunday, February 8, 1953, there passed away suddenly at Gloucester House, Camperdown, Sydney, Neil Roger Blennerhassett; known familiarly as "Neil." He was a personality whom mention of Silkwood and Innisfail instantly recalls Born at Innisfail on August 24, 1917, Neil received his education at the local State School and later Gatton Agricultural College. On returning from college he entered into farming at Sundown, later to move to Silkwood where he continued farming. Here he entered into the community life of the district and his many activities included the Silkwood Bowling Club of which he was a foundation member, besides being a trustee of the club. As a member, success of the club was paramount in his mind, and the new club house was an end for which he strived with untiring effort. Besides being an ardent worker and good citizen of the district his genial personality in company will be missed by all those who had the pleasure of knowing him. His efforts were not confined to the Bowling Club alone, but his interest was in everything concerning the progress of the district. At South Johnstone he made many lasting friends. His activities included all sport, and he was an owner of horses and displayed marked interest in the racing of the district of which he was a very keen judge. As an ex-student of the Gatton Agricultural College he was always to the fore when the annual reunion of the "Gatton Old Boys Association" was held in Innisfail. The name Blennerhassett will be ever remembered in the pages of Silkwood and district's progress. Neil was the eldest son of Mrs. V. Blennerhassett and the late Mr. R. Blennerhasset, who were early settlers in the district. He is survived by his widow Mrs. A. Blennerhassett who prior to her marriage was known as Anne Carello, also by three sisters Mrs. F. Dodds and Miss E. Blennerhassett of Innisfail and Mrs. S. Blau of Collaroy, Sydney, also two brothers Leslie and Kevin. There are many who will regret his passing for Neil Blennerhassett by his generosity, sincerity, sympathy and broad outlook made friends wherever he went and what is more he kept them. -obituary, The Evening Advocate [Innisfail, Qld.](11 Feb 1953): 5.
