********************

MR. JOSEPH CRANE.

Mr. Joe Crane had lived with us all his life, being a native of the district, where he reared a family of sons who are also settled in the neighbourhood, one of whom (Reg.) served in the late war.

Mr. Crane was 67 years of age and up to a few months back was a very hardy man. In turn he had many jobs and up till about a year ago had one of the Darbalara dairy farms, which he gave up when he lost his loved partner.

Since the loss of his wife his health had been fading and during the last few months his sons could see their father's health was fast decaying, and his internal complaint was getting worse. He was in the hospital for a time but as nothing could be done he preferred to go back to his son's home at Wagragobilly, where he died.

His remains were laid to rest alongside of those of his loved wife in the C. of E. portion of the South Gundagai cemetery. The Rev. W. S. McLeod conducted the burial service. - (Ref- The Gundagai Times and Tumut, Adelong and Murrumbidgee District Advertiser (NSW : 1868 - 1931) View title info Tue 5 Jan 1926 Page 2 MR. JOSEPH CRANE.)
