Mr John Milligan, born at County Down Ireland, died at Bathurst at the age of 87 recently. He was a fine stamp of a man, and was the life and soul of the Dungaree district. Many years ago he kept the Dungaree Hotel, store, etc., and dida tremendous business, no idea of the railway in those days being anticipated. When it was decided that the railway was to come to Rylstone, which it was thought would come on the main Sydney Road, Mr Milligan struck out by building a new hotel,store, butcher shop, etc., and when the navvies came along he did a splendid business. Some of the work along by Tong Bong meant some heavy cutting, and took months to complete. Up to this day many of the old hands call the place Dungaree, butafter the railway it was named Lue, after the late V J Dowling, who owned Lue Station. Mr Milligan was connected with the race club and other sporting institutions, and used to visit Mudgee on all occasions when there were race, sports, etc. Hewas a good hearted man, his hands were always in his pockets, and assisted everybody who wanted assistance. He remained in the hotel for many months after the railway passed through.
