- OBITUARY.
CHARLES COLLINS
It is with deep regret that we have to announce the death of Mr. Charles Collins, of Glenburgh Station, which took place in Carnarvon Hospital on the 24th. inst. after an illness extending over several months.
With him passes yet one more of the few remaining pastoral pioneers of the Gascoyne, men who have battled hard and faced conditions unknown to the present generation in their endeavour to open up the then unknown lands which have proved such a big asset to the State.
His passing has caused wide spread expressions of regret from his numerous friends throughout the district, and of sympathy with his bereaved sons and daughters, Messrs
Charles Dalgety,
William, Bertram
and Monte,
Maude (Mrs. Ullinger),
Annie (Mrs. Bailey)
Grace (Mrs.Milne)
Elsie (Mrs. Fitzgerald),
and 17 grandchildren. His wife, daughter of the late J. Fitzpatrick, of Dairy Creek Station, predeceased him in 1928. The funeral took place on last
Saturday morning, [1]
