Death of Mr Sam Brownlow. CAUSED BY FALLING FROM A BALCONY. The death took place in the Mudgee District Hospital on Friday night of Mr. Samuel Brownlow, who recently met with a severe and painful accident by falling from the balcony of the Woolpack Hotel. Mr. Brownlow was a well-known resident of Windeyer, and was also well acquainted with some of the old Mudgeeites with whom he came in contact as a horse trainer. The deceased, who leaves a wife and grown up family, was 67 years of age. Mr. Brownlow came to Mudgee early last week, and owing to business engagements, could not leave on his return on Tuesday night as he planned. Therefore he stayed at the Woolpack Hotel. Early on Wednesday morning Mr. T. Underwood heard sounds indicating that someone was in distress. He went to the front of the hotel where he found Mr. Brownlow lying on the footpath suffering from a broken thigh. Medical attention was immediately procured, and the unfortunate man was removed to the Mudgee District Hospital, where, as stated, he passed away on Friday night. To the bereaved wife and family we tender our deep sympathy. The funeral took place to the Church of England portion of the Long Creek cemetery on Sunday. Mr J. C. Sword having charge of the mortuary arrangements. Mudgee Guardian, Monday 14 January 1918, p. 2. Obituary Samuel Brownlow
