Albury Banner and Wodonga Express (NSW : 1896 - 1938) Friday 28 April 1933
62856The death has occurred of Mr.
Albert Breust, one of the best-known
farmers of the Temora district, at the
age of 63 years. The deceased was
the eldest son of the late Mr. Otto
Brest, who died some years ago, and
Mrs. Breust. The latter is now 85
years of age. Born at Bungowannah,
near Albury, the late Mr. Albert Breust
came to the Temora district with his
parents at the age of 13, and lived
there ever since. His parents took up
land on what was then known as
"Mimosa" Station, which extended
for miles around, being then a big
sheep run, so that the deceased could
justly claim to be one of the pioneers
of the wheat-growing industry in those
parts. Though a fine stamp of Aus-
tralian manhood, of late years he had
not enjoyed the best of health, and had
been troubled with an internal com
plaint for a couple of years. He mar-
ried Miss Mary Ann Wells, who sur-
vives him, and he also leaves seven
sons and one daughter, viz., Messrs.
Thomas (Quandary), Hugh (Bectric),
Arthur (Trickett), Cecil (Bectric),
Stanley, Percy and Arnold, and Miss
Una Breust, the four last-named resid-
ing at home at " Stony Park." Two
sons (Oliver and Kenneth) predeceased
him. There are also left the following
sisters and brothers: Mrs. John Mills
(Kamarah), Mrs. F. Jepsen (Pucawan),
Mrs. J. McDermott (South Yalgogrin),
and Mrs. P. Guthrie (Methul); and
Messrs. John (Temora), Allan (Taree)
and Ernest (Girral).
