Obidituary. — It is with sincere regret we have to announce the early death of Mr John Finn, late of Wreys Bush. The deceased was taken suddenly ill three or four days prior to his death with severe internal pains, and although everything possible was done to relieve him, he gradually sank and died on Saturday, the 3rd inst. The Rev. Fathers Walsh and Keenan were with him, and administered the last rites of the Church. Mr Finn was a native of the County Limerick, Ireland, and was only 33 years of age. He leaves a widow and young children to mourn his loss, and they, we feel sure, have the heartfelt sympathy of a wide circle of friends in their sad bereavement. The funeral, which took place on Tuesday, was, despite the heavy rain, the largest ever seen in the district, there being fully 150 horsemen and about 33 wheeled vehicles. We offer our sincere sympathy to the young widow in her painful trial. “Requieasat in pace.” -Western Star, 10/11/1894.
