An
old identity of Tumut in the person of Mr. Patrick Eurell,
passed away at his residence, Fitzroy-street, on the 21st ult. at the
age of 60 years. Deceased was
an Alpine native, and spent the - early years of his life at the late
John Cosgrove's station at 'Billylingra,' Monaro.
Subsequently
he selected, and after fullfilling resident terms he sold out, and buying
his brother's mail coaches, entered into partnership with Mr. Joseph
Lake, of Gundagai, and they became Cobb and Co. of the Cootamundra
branch line. This was about 1896. He
married Miss Burns, daughter of Mrs, C. Burns, of 'Innis
Vale,' Gilmore, the result of the union being three sons, viz., Charles,
Joseph and Stanley, and one daughter, Phyllis. These
are left to mourn the loss of a faithful husband and a father who
was proud of his little flock. Though
fickle fortune did not smile upon him, he was a man of pronounced
opinions, and followed his political creed to the last. His
remains were interred in the Catholic portion of the new cemetery on the 22nd ult.
Rev. Father Sharkey officiated at the grave.— R.I.P. |
