OBITUARY MR. A. PLESCHER, CAMBRIDGE.

Sincere regret was felt in Cambridge at the death of Mr. Anselm Pleschor, who passed away at the residence of his parents, Victoria street, on July 10. The deceased went to Australia jabout eighteen months ago, and secured employment at Bowral, near Sydney, where he remained until a few weeks before his death. He then contracted influenza, which ailment was neglected at the time, and so developed complications, which his medical adviser pronounced serious, and he was ordered home. He arrived back about a month ago, and never rallied, passing away on July 10 as stated, at the early age of 24 years. The funeral took place on Sunday, the burial service being conducted by Rev. Father Murphy. Prior to the cortege moving off to the cemetery, a service was held in St. Peter's Church, where Father Murphy feelingly addressed the large congregation present. On the remains being taken from the church, Mrs. Lundon played the Dead March from ' Saul ' on the organ. The members of the Cambridge Firo Brigade, to which deceased formerly belonged, acted as pallbearers. The late Mr. Plescher was held in high esteem by a large circle of friends. As an evidence of their goodwill, his late fellow-employees at Bowral recently forwarded to him a very handsome inscribed gold medal. Much sympathy is felt for the sorrowing parents and family in their bereavement. — R.I.P.
