Obituary

Mr. Bernard Berrell, formerly of Barwon River, New South Wales, and late of Thallaba, Laggan. It appears that some twenty years ago the deceased went to the above-named river, at which place he accumulated his fortune, and determined to return to his native place to end his last days. He was completely blind of both eyes, which he attributed to the heat of the climate in which he had lived.

He was a man of about eighty years of age. The poor old gentleman leaves one son and two daughters to mourn his loss. To his son l cannot give him too much praise for his qualities for the able and careful manner in which he used to conduct his aged parent about, as the deceased had to have a conductor in his blind state. The deceased died on July 14th, and was interred in the Roman Catholic private burial-ground, Kangaloola, near Binda, on July 17th. About forty persons followed the last remains of a dearly loved and highly respected resident to be committed to the last resting place.
