Mullewa Western Australia |
| Drovers Waldeck, Jack Fitzpatrick. and Dave Edgąr are in town. It is hard to believe that Mr Fitzpatrick is the oldest drover in WA, not only must looks be deceitful but his contemplated trip to Kimberley and further next month must be an undertaking that many younger men would be wary of. |

Jun 1926 |
Billabalong Station Western Australia [9] |
- On Thursday news was secured at the Police Station of the sudden death of Mr. John Fitzpatrick a well-known drover on the Murchison. Deceased was apparently in the best health and was conversing with his men, when he suddenly exclaimed "Oh", fell and immediately expired.
Deceased was in charge of a mob of cattle from Byro Station. Constable Gravestock left Mullewa about noon on Thursday and proceeded to a mile the other side of Billabalong Station 100 miles from here and brought the body in, arriving here at 4.30 next morning, having travelled from the time of starting (sixteen hours).
Dr. Hobbs held a post mortem in the afternoon when a verdict of death from natural causes was returned heart failure being the cause of death.
When Constable Gravestock heard of Mr. Fitzpatrick's death, he at once tried to get in touch with Mr. James Fitzpatrick (brother) through the Mingenew Post Master, a wire was got to his brother at White Hill Station, Mingenew and through
the forethought of Constable Gravestock.
A sister in Perth was also advised and brother and sister were in time to see the deceased and attend the funeral, which took place on Friday afternoon, and was very largely attended. Father Hawse officiated at the grave. [9]
