Note 4: Wm Riley in the Australia, Death Index, 1787-1985 Name: Wm Riley Death Age: 48 Birth Date: abt 1851 Death Date: Abt 1899 Death Place: Ararat, Victoria Registration Date: 1899 Registration Place: Australia Father: Alex Riley Mother: Patience Rawlingson Registration Number: 11798 Ararat Advertiser and Chronicle for the Stawell and Wimmera District 14 Nov 1899 MR WILLIAM M. RILEY. Very general regret was expressed in Ararat on Friday last when it became known that Mr William M. Riley, bootmaker, of this town, had succumbed to an attack of pneumonia, following influenza. For a considerable time past the deceased had been in failing health, and when he fell a victim to the prevailing epidemic he was removed to the local hospital, and made such good progress that he was able to leave the institution. He, however, contracted a fresh cold, and rapidly sank, expiring late on Thursday night at the age of 48 years. The deceased was a Yorkshire man, but he came to this colony as a lad, and he settled in Ararat. He, however, subsequently removed to Landsborough, and on the falling off of the rush there went to Hamilton, but recently he again returned to Ararat, and followed his trade here. Old residents of the town will have a kindly recollection of the keen interest the deceased, as a young man, took in athletic sports, and of his good services in the cricket and football field. He leaves a widow and a family of six, several of whom are grown up, to mourn his loss. His remains were interred at Ararat on Sunday, being followed to their last resting-place by a number of old-time friends.
