Laing) conducted an enquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of Justin Menchin, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. Menchin, of Gulgong, who was found drowned on July 1. The Coroner found that death was caused by asphyxia from drowning, caused by accidentally falling in a tank. Mudgee Guardian, Wednesday 9 July 1930, p.13. Death, Justin Menchin CHILD DROWNED SAD DEATH AT GULGONG On July 1, a very sad death occurred at Gulgong, when Mr and Mrs Fred. Menchin lost their beautiful child Justin, aged 1 year 9 months. The bonnie little chap was playing as usual in the garden at his home, when he evidently climbed up on a small open tank containing about 15 inches of water, and overbalancing, fell into the water and was drowned. Drs. Allport and Tunley and also the nursing staff of a private hospital nearby were quickly on the spot, and though they worked hard for some considerable time - effort to restore life failed. The little spirit had fled. A great gloom fell over the town and district of Gulgong, when the sad news was circulated, and the expressions of sympathy which came from far and near, to the grief-stricken parents, testified to the high esteem in which they are held. The funeral, which was very largely attended, moved from the parents' residence the following day, and after a short service, conducted by the Rev. Father Brosnan, at the Catholic Church, proceeded to the local cemetery. Beautiful floral tributes covered the coffin, and a quiet sadness seemed to pervade as the procession moved along. The Rev. Fathers Brosnan and Coughlan conducted the service at the grave. On Sunday last at Mass the Rev. Father Brosnan made touching reference to the sad event. Mr R. Bayliss conducted the funeral arrangements. Mudgee Guardian, Friday 11 July 1930, p. 11. Justin Menchin Obituary |
