Death at Henty.
On Saturday last a young man named John D. Newell, son of Mr J. Newell, of Yerong Creek, died at the residence of Mr F. W. Piltz, Henty, the cause being gastric influenza, caused from eating grapes and taking too much water or other liquid after wards. On the previous Sunday he began to feel unwell, and although urged to see a doctor, he refused. On Wednesday he was brought in to Henty, and Dr Delmege attended him. He was then in an unconscious state. Despite all medical efforts, the previous neglect of his malady was fatal, poisoning of the heart and brain having been set up, and he passed away as stated. On Sunday the remains were removed to his parents' residence, and were interred at Yerong Creek on Monday. Deceased was about 28 years of age.2
