Death of a Bylong Resident. The sad news reaches us of the death of Mr. John Davis, son of Mr. J. Davis, of Ginghi, near Bylong. About three weeks ago the late Mr. Davis, who was extremely popular in the district, began to feel indisposed. Being, however, of an optimistic disposition, and having always enjoyed good health, he thought little of the matter, and continued at his usual occupation. Daily he grew worse, and when, unhappily, it was too late to stay the ravages of a deadly fever, he decided to become an inmate of the Merriwa Hospital. On admission it was found that he was suffering from typhoid in an advanced stage. It was then too late to effect a change for the better and he grew rapidly worse and died on Thursday night last. The deceased was a son-in-law of Mrs. James Wilton, of Church Street, Mudgee, and leaves a sorrowing wife and two young children to mourn their irreparable loss. Mr. Chas. Wilton journeyed to Merriwa on Thursday night last and was present at the bedside when the Grim Reaper carried off a most estimable young man and a model husband. Widespread sympathy is felt for the bereaved widow and orphans. Mudgee Guardian, Monday 9 December 1907, p. 2. Obituary John Davis
