KADINA
April 23.—Death has been very busy amongst the old residents of this district of late, no fewer than three passing away within a week, An elderly lady, Mrs. Henry, who lived at the mines; Mr. W. Bailey, of Kadina; and Mr. William Addicoat, of Wallaroo Mines, all died in quick succession. Mr. Addicoat and family came out in the ship Electric that was wrecked on the New Zealand coast, but was afterwards repaired, and sailed for Newcastle in ballast, when shipwreck again was narrowly escaped. The deceased gentleman came to the Peninsula, and started work at the Cornwall mine, and afterwards at the Wallaroo Mines. When the railway was built to Kadina he was one of the men employed on the works. It was then that he contracted bronchial trouble from which he had suffered ever since, and which really was the cause of his death. Mr. Addicoat was 66 years of age, and leaves a grown-up family of four sons.
