since then had lived practically in retirement.

M.U.I.O.O.F. Lodge, Charters Towers, Queensland. He was also an active
member of the Fathers Association and was connected with the Returned
Soldiers’ Association.

Fred, Alan and Keith, and six grandchildren.
The funeral took place this afternoon, leaving his late residence at 172

the Methodist Cemetery, in the same grave as his wife, the late Ellen
Jane Trezise, who died in August 1926. The funeral arrangements were
carried out by Fred J. Potter and Son.
