DEATH OF AN INFANT.

The three months' old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Tattersall, died in the Gulgong District Hospital on Sunday. The little one had developed a mild attack of pneumonia. The immediate cause of death, however, was heart failure. A sad feature of the death is that the infant's mother and brother are in the hospital, suffering from influenza, and the father, too, has been a sufferer. He is a son of the late Mrs. C. Tattersall, who died a few days ago. Rev. C. J. Allen was the officiating clergyman at the burial which took place on Monday in the Church of England portion of the Gulgong cemetery. Messrs. McGowen and Bayliss were the undertakers.

OBITUARIES MR. A. A. TATTERSALL With the death of Mr. Arthur Alfred Tattersall on April 11, the district lost another of its links with the days of the pioneers. Mr. Tattersall was 74 years of age and was known well for his ability as a horseman, tank sinker, timber cutter and farmer throughout his life. He was of a quiet disposition and a very good father and husband. He lived most of his life at Annie’s Rock, three miles from Gulgong, where he and his wife Maud, went to live 52 years ago, and took up a small farm. In his younger days he was a champion wood-cutter at the Gulgong and district shows and was a great teamster and horseman. Music was one of the joys of his life, and he is remembered by man as a great old-time dancer; he could play many of the old dances on the concertina. He is survived by his wife, Maud, and the following sons and daughters: Herb (Gulgong), Dorothy (Mrs. H. Baldwin, Gulgong), Thomas (Parkes), James (Mudgee), and Kath (Mrs. E. Miller, Annie’s Rock).
