OBITUARY MR. ERNEST WYBURN With the passing on August 14th of Mr. Ernest Wyburn in the Wilson Memorial Hospital, Murrurundi, where he was admitted a fortnight previous, Murrurundi has lost a grand old man, and a well-known and highly respected resident Deceased who was a former Tumut resident was a native of Tumbarumba, where he was born 72 years ago. He had not enjoyed good health for some years past and despite his sufferings he carried on as best he could and bore them with great fortitude. He was widely known for his joviality and in tne latter sphere he helped many and refused no deserving cause. He was a man who had lived a very active public life and it was only due to his long illness that he was compelled to dissociate himself with the public affairs of the town, yet retaining a keen interest. He was elected to the Municipal Council in December, 1937, and at the end of the term in Dec. 1941 did not seek re-election. He was elected to the Hospital Board, in Sept. 1938 and resigned in December 1943. As a Boer War veteran he took a keen interest in the Murrurundi sub-branch of the sub-branch of the R.S.S.A. I.L.A . and was at one time its treasurer, also resigning from that position owing to his health. Deceased had many happy memories of his native town, Tumbarumba, also of Tumut where he spent his boyhood days. Mr. Wyburn also took a keen interest in the public life of both those places and during the Great War was the Mayor of Tumut and a member of the Hospital Committee. He was an outstanding athlete At footrunning he had many successes to his credit and was also a prominent footballer being a member of the Tumut team which, at the time, was the holder of eight cups, the photograph of this team and cups being much cherished by deceased. As an amateur theatrical artist he had few peers and was one of a company formed at Tumut who organised concerts, etc., and travelled the surrounding Tumut district to raise funds in aid of charity. Deceased had been in the hotel business for 39 years, during which time he has conducted hotels with great credit to himself. Commencing his career from a young man he was employed by the late Mr. Johnny Beale of Tumut brewery fame, for 15 years after which he launched out on his own and took over the licence of the Commercial Hotel at Tumut where he remained for nine years. Disposing of the business he went to Moss Vale into an hotel there and after eight years again sold the business. He then had twelve months spell from hotel life after which he purchased the license of Tattersall's Hotel at Murrurundi where he remained for the last 20 years and up to the time of his death. Deceased was twice married and is survived by his wife and two sons — Messrs. Jack (Sydney) and Paul Wyburn (Murrurundi), and three daughters — Agnes (Mrs. A. Frith, Murrurundi), Misses Leila (Sydney) and Mona Wyburn (Murrurundi), by the second marriage, and one daughter, Kathleen (Mrs. Langley, Sydney), by the first marriage. The remains were conveyed to St. Joseph's R. C. Church where it remained during Wednesday draped with the Union Jack, and after a service late that afternoon were laid to rest in the R.C. cemetery. There was a large and representative attendance of people from the town, and district, which bore striking testimony of the esteem in which deceased was held. Included also was a number of members of the Subbranch of the RSSAILA, six of whom, Messrs. J. Hay, A. Bell, F. Dodd, A. J. Gimbert, K Arnott, and D. Lawson, acted as pall-bearers, to pay their last respects for a departed comrade. The services at the Church and the graveside was conducted by Rev. Father Hourigan. At the conclusion of the Service the Returned Soldiers fittingly paid their last respects to a beloved comrade. Mr. C. Eley, a vice-president of the League, before making a few remarks of deceased's life as a citizen, said "Their bodies are buried in peace and their names liveth for evermore." He then went on to briefly refer to the deceased as a veteran of the Boer War and a fine citizen who came amongst us many years ago and took an active interest in the welfare of the town and district until his health compelled him to give up an active life. He was a member of the Municipal Council and a member of the Board of Directors of the Wilson Memorial Hospital of which he had the pleasure of being associated with deceased. The President of the League, Mr. K. Arnott, after reciting the verses
"O valiant hearts who to your glory came
Through dust and conflict and through battle flame,
Tranquil you lie, your knightly virtue proved
Your memory hallowed in the land you loved."
and holding a red poppy in his hand said, "The service of the day is over and the hour come to rest. This poppy, an emblem of sacrifice, the symbol of a life given in the service of one's country is a link between our comrade and us who remain. We place it here in remembrance." The President then dropped the poppy on to the coffin after which the returned men filed past the grave and each in dropping a poppy down, repeated, "Our beloved comrade." After one minutes silence being observed all repeated "Lest We Forget."
Many beautiful floral tributes were placed on the grave. Mr. A. J. Fishburn was in charge of the funeral arrangements. To the bereaved we extend our sympathy.
