Note: DEATH OF MR. D. DOHERTY.

DEATH OF MR. D. DOHERTY. With great regret we have to record the death of Mr. Daniel Doherty, of Lambing Hill, near Goolma. Deceased was amongst the sturdy old pioneers of the district, throughout which he was held in high esteem. Writing of the sad event the Gulgong Advertiser says: - It is with exceeding regret that we record the death of Mr. Daniel Doherty, of Goolma, who passed away on Monday last at the ripe age of 67 years. For some time past, deceased had been ailing and under medical care in Gulgong, and his death did not come altogether as a surprise, though the sorrow was none the less, keen among the very large circle of his friends and acquaintances. Deceased always stood in high general esteem and respect for his conspicuous uprightness and straightforwardness. In the words of a near friend, he was a good, honest, upright and outspoken man. He leaves behind a family of six daughters and four sons to mourn his loss, all of whom are resident in the district. His eldest daughter is the wife of Mr. John Smith of Goolma. Mr. Doherty's long residence of fifty years in this district enabled him to see its many changes and vicissitudes; he saw it when the population was thin and scattered, and the bushranger made coach travelling an exciting and dangerous pastime; he saw the scene transformed with the discovery of the alluvial deposits in Gulgong in the seventies, and when the busy stir and turmoil of a feverish and gold stricken population provided a memorable sight. The remains were buried on Tuesday afternoon; the funeral procession was one of the largest ever held in Gulgong, the residents of Goolma, Lambing Hill, and other distant places being present in large numbers to pay the last tribute of respect. The service at the grave was conducted by the Rev. E. P. O'Donnell, assisted by Rev. Gilmartin, G.M., and the preacher spoke in moving terms of the many good qualities of the deceased.
