Biography

The death was certified in writing by D.J. Walsh, friend, Comet Vale. Witnesses to the burial were D. Meagher and John Young. The deceased had lived in New South Wales for 29 years.

For some time past, the deceased had not appeared to be in robust health and, only a few days before his death, was compelled to take to his bed. Complications set in and, despite attention by Dr. Allan and the untiring services of relatives and friends, he passed
away at 3 am on Friday. The deceased was an old and highly respected resident of Comet Vale and had been on the goldfields for a considerable number of years. He was a native of Bourke, N.S.W. He started his career as a bank clerk in that State. Coming to West Australia, he occupied the positions as accountant for the Hit and Miss Gold Mine (Mulgarrie), Woodley's Reward G.M. (Rothsay), Beard and Timms (Menzies), Golden Butterfly (Tampa), Messrs. Suttcliffe Bros., storekeepers (Coolgardie) and latterly, at the Happy Jack. G.M.
(Comet Vale).
In local affairs the deceased was always foremost towards the advancement of the town and was always ready and willing to assist in any charitable movement.
He was a member of the local progress committee for a lengthy time and, for a term, was chairman of that body.
The funeral took place on Friday afternoon.
