Note 2: Mildura Telegraph and Darling and Lower Murray Advocate 19 Oct 1915 DEATH OF MR. M. HEGNEY, SENR. The news of the death of Mr. Martin Hegney, came as a great shock to his many friends on Sunday last. Up till quite recently he was in his usual health, when he contracted a cold. The disease instead of yielding to medical treatment, rapidly became worse, as pneumonia developed, and he was removed to the Mildura Hospital, where everything that was possible was done, but the patient gradually sank and died on Sunday morning. Mr. Hegney was an old resident of the district, and was much esteemed by those who knew him best as an honest, straightforward man whose word was as good as his bond. The deceased was much affected by the death of his wife, which took place a few months ago. Together they had built up a good business in the Victoria Dining Rooms, where they had earned a reputation for studying the comfort of their patrons. The funeral is to take place this afternoon, leaving Mr. Hegney's late residence at 3 o'clock for the Mildura Cemetery. DEATH.
