OBITUARY
. . MR. T. WOODS.
An old and.very highly respected
resident of Moree and district, in the
person of Mr. Thomas Woods, of Kin

with a couple of other parties
from the Moree district, had been to
the show, and was returning by car.
When in Boggabri Mr. Woods com
plained of feeling unwell, but attri
buted his illness to indigestion, and
decided to continue the journey.
.The party got safely to Narrabri
where Mr. Wobds said he felt better.
It was decided to continue the jour
ney, but in Balonne Street Mr. Woods,
who was driving the car, was noticed
by his daughter, to swoon at the
wheel. She had the presence of mind
to take the wheel from her father,
and stop the car when it was found
that-Mr.Woods was dead. Death was.
due to heart failure.
The body was: brought, to Moree,

out 53 years of age, had lived for
many years in the district, where he
