| Death of a father | Walter Charles Mills 1947 DEATH Mr. W. C. Mills The death occurred in the Mudgee Hospital on Wednesday afternoon of Mr. Walter Charles Mills, aged 65 years. Deceased had been in failing health for some time, and his passing was not unexpected. Watty, as he was familiarly known, was a member of a grand old Lawson's Creek family, and spent the whole of his life in this district. Reared on a farm, he naturally interested himself in the work of primary production, and for very many years was one of our most progressive dairymen. In this connection it might be mentioned that members of the Mills family conducted milk runs in Mudgee for practically 60 years. Deceased, in his younger days, was keenly interested in cricket and other out-of-door sports, and made life-long friends on the field of play. He later associated himself with the bowling club, and was one of the most popular members of that organisation. As a mark of respect, the club flag is flying at halfmast this morning. He was also very active in his interest in the Mudgee Dairy Co., and served on the directorate for a lengthy period, being elected unopposed on many occasions. His colleagues and the general body of shareholders and suppliers held him in the highest regard. In Agricultural Society matters he displayed a keen and intelligent interest, and his support was valued by those in authority. In private life he was a model husband and devoted father, and his widow and three daughters have sustained an irreparable loss by his lamented passing. Altogether the late Watty Mills was a citizen of sterling worth, and it can be said with perfect truth that he will be greatly missed by very many people in town and district. To the sorrowing relatives we extend sincere sympathy. The funeral took place from the Church of England this afternoon, Messrs. J. C. Swords and Son being in charge of the arrangements (Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative, Thursday 6 November 1947, p. 9). |
