Obituary | 28 September 1906 | "The Lithgow Mercury", Lithgow, NSW, Australia; HARTLEY VALE. (From our own Correspondent.) On Tuesday night an old resident in the person of Mr. Edward Morris, passed peacefully away at the residence of his son, Mr. J . B. Morris, of Hartley Vale. He had been suffering for some time past with slight attacks of sickness, but his end came rather unexpectedly, alter being only about a week confined to his bed. He was 73 years of age, and was all his life a familiar figure in the district. His wife predeceased him three years ago, He leaves a family of grown sons and one daughter, amongst whom he has spent the latter days of his life. His funeral took place to-day (Thursday), and was largely attended, everyone turning out to pay their last sad tribute of affection to an old respected friend. The obsequies at Mount York were performed by the Rev. T. J. Heffernan, of Mount Victoria, who, as a mark of sympathy to the departed and his relatives, journeyed from Sydney (where he had been spending a short holiday) by passenger train to-day to officiate at the graveside.7 |
