BERNARD CHARLES McGOWAN

It is with deep regret that we record the death of Bernard Charles McGowan under sad circumstances. Deceased was employed in a temporary capacity as cleaner at the Mudgee loco shed and on April 25, he got his foot caught in the turntable and crushed badly. He was conveyed to the Mudgee Hospital, but tetanus supervened and he passed away yesterday morning. Deceased who was only 29 years of age, was a returned soldier and leaves a wife and three young children. He was a son of the late Mr. W. McGowan and Mrs. W. Proctor, of Mudgee South. The funeral will be held this afternoon and will leave deceased's late residence in Inglis St. and will probably be accorded military honors.
