(Inserted by his nephews and nieces, Harry and Jessie Bradley, Alec and Nellie, Toots and Maggie Cumming.) Kilmore Free Press (Kilmore) 6 May 1920 OBITUARY., We regret hearing of the death of Mr A. McKercher, which occurred yesterday at his residence, Bylands. The deceased, who was most certainly one of the kind liest gentleman in the district of which he was an old resident, had been ailing for some time, and his demise has caused widespread regret amongst old friends: He was an honorable straightforward man.

Note 6: Kilmore Free Press (Kilmore) 19 May 1937 ELLEN CHRISTINA BALLINTINE One of the most beloved members of the community passed away on Saturday last, in the person of Mrs. Ellen Christina Ballintine, who before coming to Benalla, spent many years at Upotipotpon. Death took place at the residence of her son-in law (Mr. F. B. P. Brown, Silverdale Road, Eaglemont), after a fairly long illness. The deceased was the youngest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. A. McKerchar, of Bylands, and was born there on 28th February, 1866. In September, 1892,, she was married to the late Mr. Gilbert T. Ballintine, who predeceased her by about eight years. From the time of her marriage, Mrs. Ballintine resided at the family home "Summerlea" Upotipotpon. More than two years ago, she, with daughter, Miss Ellie Ballintine, left Upotipotpon and in March last year, took up residence in Benalla. Shortly after, she became ill and this necessitated her removal to Melbourne, and she went to live with her son-in-law at Eaglemont. The deceased is survived by two sons, Thomas Alexander and Alexander William, and two daughters, Miss Ellie (Benalla), and Jessie (Mrs. F. B. Brown, Eaglemont). The great esteem in which the deceased was held was also made manifest by the large assemblage at the graveside in the Benalla cemetery on Sunday afternoon. Approximately three hundred people were present including residents of almost every part of the Benalla district, and others from distant parts of the State. The service at the graveside was conducted by the Rey. R. P. Simons, and the funeral arrangements were made by Messrs. W. G. Apps & Son, Melbourne. The coffin-bearers were Messrs T. and A. Ballintine, W. Ballintine,. G. Down, A. Bain, G: Croxford, jnr., and the pall-bearers were Messrs J. and A. MacPherson, G. Croxford. snr., H. Bradley, F. Brown and R. Wines. Prior to the funeral, which left St. Andrews church, a short impressive service was conducted by the Rev. R P. Simons, Minister of the Church, and a very large congregation participated. In the course of the prayers, reference was made to the hospitality, kindliness, and charity of the deceased, who had been long associated with the activities of the church. The hymn "Abide With Me." was sung by the congregation and accompanied at the organ by Mr. C. Perrin, who also played "O Rest in the Lord." During the service, the pall covered casket rested in front of the Communion rail and around it numerous floral tributes were placed, and later conveyed to the grave.--"Benalla Standard"',
