News-Arct | 7 January 1898 | "The Sydney Stock and Station Journal", Sydney, NSW, Australia; Trundle. (From Our Own Correspondent.) Death.— The news of the death of Mr. Llewellyn Simmons, a highly respected resident of the district, has cast quite a gloom over the district. Mr. Simmons met his death from the effects of a rifle wound supposed to have been accidently inflicted at his residence, Grassdale, near Trundle. At the time of the sad occurrence there was no one present, save his wife, and a feeble old man in his employ who succeeded in apprising the adjoining neighbours of the unfortunate fatality. Death was instantaneous; the bullet having struck in a fatal direction. On Thursday morning the deceased was interred in the Church of England, portion of the Trundle cemetery, where a large number of sympathetic friends and relations followed his remains to their last resting place in God's acre. The deceased, who was 31 years of age, leaves a wife and two children, and also a large home circle for whom deep sympathy is expressed.4 |
