He had lilled the position of secretary to the Blackball Miners' Union fora considerable period and was noted for the painstaking and efficient manner in which he carried out the duties appertaining to the office. He leaves a wife and six daughters (including Mrs Hickey, Mrs McDougall, and Mrs Wilkinson), and three sons to mourn tne loss of a good husband and a kind father. To the relatives will go forth much sympathy in their sad bereavement.
