Obituary, MR. MAURICE WALSH, LUE. The death occurred on Wednesday week of Mr. Maurice Walsh, of Monavae Station, Lue. Mr. Walsh was a native of the district. He was born at Havilah in 1857, the son of the late Mr. Michael Walsh, an employee of Havilah Station, and Mrs. Michael Walsh. Forty years ago Mr. Maurice Walsh removed to Lue to take up a position on the Monavae Estate. He worked on the estate under the successive proprietorships of Mr. V. Dowling, Mr. D. Clark, and Mr. James McMaster, up to the time of his death. He married in 1868, Miss Ellen Gordon, who as his widow survives him. The following children of the marriage survive: - Messrs. William Maurice Walsh (Mudgee), Arthur Thomas Walsh (Monovae), sons; Mesdames J. Comer (Gulgong), J. Potts (Lue), Misses Ellen Alice Walsh, Fanny Elizabeth Walsh, and Blanche Lousia Walsh (Monavae), daughters. The Walsh family is large and is well known and highly respected throughout the Mudgee district. Bers and sisters of the late Mr. Walsh are Messrs. William Walsh (Monavae), Thomas (Gulgong), and Joseph (Havilah), Misses Fannie Walsh and Annie Walsh (Havilah). There are also several grandchildren and a large number of nephews and nieces, the nephews including Alderman William Walsh (Cudgegong Borough Council, Mudgee) and Frank Walsh (Mudgee). A sad feature of the death is that Mrs. Maurice Walsh is an invalid, as she has been for many years, and so is the youngest daughter. The interment was made at the Lue cemetery, on Thursday afternoon. The funeral cortege was unusually large and representative, and prominent amongst the mourners was Mr. James McMaster, Monavae Station. The funeral ceremonies were conducted by the Very Rev.. Father Flanagan, P.P., V.F., St. Mary's, Mudgee. - R.I.P. Freeman's Journal, Thursday 1 July 1920, p. 34. Obituary Maurice Walsh
