He was never out of Hatton pre vious to last January, when he took up his residence: with his son-in-law in Mackay, and he;died there, after a lingering illness. The deceased was highly respected. The only in terest taken in public affairs was in connection with the Presbyterian Church, of which he was a devot- ed member. He leaves a wife and six children,- all resident in the dis trict, viz., Mrs. Risseham (Mac kay), James, William John, Hugh' Robert and Annie May, all of Boon- gana, or Hatton to whom sympathy is given at their bereavement.
