He was also one of the early mailmen, being engaged in conveying mails per pack-horse in the infancy of the district. He was married at Hillston, when 22, to Miss Emma Ray, of Hay, and seven sons and one daughter were born of the union. His widow predeceased him some time ago. His son, Mr. Thos. Blunden and one daughter, Mrs. J. Green, still reside in Hillston. Two brothers, Messrs. Fred and Ted. Blunden, also survive, and a large number of grandchildren and great grand children.

Green, and it was from her home that he entered hospital on Friday last. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon in the Church of England portion of the Hillston cemetery, Rev. C. Williamson (Presbyterian) officiated, and the arrangements were in the hands of Mrs. L. D. Wilson. The Hillston Spectator and Lachlan River Advertiser (NSW : 1898 - 1952), Thu 3 Dec 1942
