Obituary
The Late Mr. Albert
Zimmerli
THE death occurred at a private
hospital in Coonabarabran
on Wednesday, 20th May, of Mr.
Albert Zimmerli, a well-known iden-
tity of the Binnaway and Dunedoo
districts. Deceased, who was 88
years of age, had been ailing for
some time and had been an inmate
of the hospital for the past four
months. A native of Switzerland,
the late Mr. Zimmerli was born at
the town of Oftringen, in that
country, in the year 1854. He was
educated at the public and high
schools at Oftringen, and at an
early age began his career as a
bobbin maker. Between school
time he assisted his father as a
wheelwright, and was later appren-
ticed to the blacksmith trade. Dur-
ing the period, 1874 to 1884, he
travelled through Switzerland and
the south of France, working at
his trade at various coach factories.
He came to Australia in 1884 and
commenced business at Tugiong,
near Gundagai, in the same year
as blacksmith and wheelwright. He
became interested in the land and
selected a block in 1891, which was
portion of the old "Lemora" Station.
In 1895 he took up a second selec-
tion, and from then on purchased
properties for investment. He at
one time owned the well-known
Digilah Station at Dunedoo, and
also La Mascotte Station. During
recent years he sold up all his
properties and went to Binnaway to
reside.
He is survived by one daughter,
Mrs. Dovatt, of Temora, and three
sons, Walter (Binnaway), and Fred
and Jack, of Colinroobie. One
daughter, Mrs. Powell, pre-deceased
him in 1938. His son, Fred, served
in the Great War, in the Machine
Gun Section.
The funeral took place to the
Church of England portion of the
Coonabarabran Cemetery. The fu-
neral arrangements were in the
hands of Mr. Harper, of Coonabara-
bran.
