On Wednesday news reached town of the death of Mr. John Sheather Snr. It appears

he had been exposing himself in the back and after assisting his son Samuel with some

light work at the latters place he fell suddenly and expired, without being able to speak

a parting word. A magistrate in the absence of the coroner and finding records of the

facts stated. The deceased was 70 years of age and the father of four sons and four

daughters surviving, one son having been buried at Camden. He also leaves a widow to

whom this sad news was specially grieving to: Mrs. C. Loiterton, Jindalee and Mrs.
