DEATH OF MR THOMAS NAYLER
At the ripe age of 78 years, Mr Thomas Nayler, sen., died at his residence Liebig Street, Warrnambool on Friday morning last. The funeral took place on Sunday, afternoon and notwithstanding the cold boisterous weather, between 300 and 400 persons attended, to pay the last tribute of respect to a worthy citizen, the service being conducted by the Rev U. Coombs.
As Mr Nayler may be regarded as the founder of two institutions in Warrnambool, namely, the Temperance Hall and the Congregational Church, more than ordinary passing notice of his life may be expected.
He was born at Sunbury near London in the year 1793, and was apprenticed to the leather-cutting and currying business. After reaching manhood he became manager for Messrs Sharland and Co. tanners of Fareham, Hampshire and subsequently was foreman at a well-known tannery at Romsey, in the same county.
Some years afterwards he opened business at Gosport, near Portsmouth, and after remaining there a few years he started at Winchester as a leather-cutter and currier.
In 1858, after his son, Mr Thomas Nayler jun., had commenced the business of a tanner, near the Jetty, Mr Nayler arrived in Warrnambool. In 1861 he erected premises in Liebig street, where he has carried on business, in his own trade ever since.
Soon after his arrival Mr Nayler called a meeting of persons who had been identified with the Congregational body and at once took steps to have a church founded. In 1862 the Rev. W. W. Pentland arrived as the first minister of the church and he was succeeded in 1865 by the Rev. U. Coombs, under whose pastorate the building has been enlarged. Mr. Nayler remained from the first a deacon of the church and has continued in that capacity up to the time of his death. He was liberal in his donations to the cause and has been a large contributor to the parsonage recenty erected.
In connexion with the temperance movement, Mr Nayler inaugurated a scheme for the erection of the Temperance Hall, and was a staunch total abstainer since the year 1841 and an active member of the Society. For some months past Mr Nayler's strength has been gradually declining and the severe
weather experienced of late tried his constitution very much. On Thursday evening last he retired to rest early, but did not complain except experiencing a slight cough. He slept soundly during the night,
but between 8 and 9 on Friday morning his daughter (Mrs Tyler) feared that dangerous symptoms were presenting themselves. Dr Jamieson was at once sent for, but Mr Nayler did not speak afterwards; he died at ½ past 9, the cause being cerebral haemorrage - or rather it may be said he sank into a state of coma during the night.
Mr Nayler has left three married daughters and two marrried sons. The pulpit, &c., of the Congregational
church was draped in black on Sunday last in memory of a man whose life was an example of uprightness of character and whose death is much deplored by a large circle of relatives and friends.
A special service is to be held on Sunday evening next, in the Congregational Church, when reference will be made to the usefulness and past career of the late Mr Thomas Nayler.
