Our obituary records the death of Mr Josiah Pitcher, of Prospect Village, a very old and respected colonist. Mr Pitcher in the year 1836 kept one of the few respectable hotels at that time in Launceston — the Hibernia in Bathurst street. At that period it.was an inn, frequented by the . most respectable colonists from the country districts, visitors from other colonies, and town residents. It stood on a par in point of respectability with the original Cornwall Hotal in Cameron-street. Mr Pitcher realised a competency and retired to Prospect Village, where he has kept, the ' Rising Sn Inn' for many years. He occupied much of his time in vine growing, wine and mead making and the liquors he turned out were a credit to himself and the colony. The Cornwall Chronicle, 3 July 1871.
