Note 2: The Collie Miner 18 May 1907 Obituary. Though the news of the death of Dr. Edward Elphick, L.R.C.P., London, did not come as a surprise to Collie people, it being well-known that he had been in a precarious state of health for some time past, still it created a feeling of deep, regret when it became known on Tuesday afternoon last. The deceased gentleman who came from Glenelg, S.A., to the West in the early, Goldfields days was well and favourably known all over the fields, particularly at Norseman, Boulder, and Kalgoorlie. It is about three years since he came to Collie in a very bad state of health, having fallen away, as the result of severe illness, from a 14 stone man to a mere shadow. He never recovered, and has been declining gradually ever since until his demise, at the age of 59 years, on Tuesday afternoon. Dr. Elphick was a successful medical man with a good record. He was largely interested in Freemasonry, -being a Past Master, and on the Goldfields was a most active and enthusiastic member of the craft. At Norseman he was a lay reader and conducted services in his tent in connection with the Anglican Church as far back as 1895. Dr. Elphick leaves a widow and a grown-up family of eight. The funeral ceremony took place on Wednesday afternoon, the customary Masonic rites being observed by the members of the Pioneer Lodge. There was a very large attendance by the special train which left Collie at 4.15, and the coffin was covered with some beautiful floral tributes expressive of a sincere and widespread sympathy for the relatives of the deceased. The Rev. G. Dibgy Wilson officiated at the graveside and the burial ceremony was very impressive. The funeral arrangements were carried out by Messrs. Schumann and Smith.
