OBITUARY
MR. JACOB HAUB
Local and district residents re
ceived quite a shock when the sad
news came through at noon on
Friday last that Mr. Jacob Haub
had died in Sydney that morning.
It was only about a fortnight pre
viously that Mr. Haub had been
on a visit to the district, and was
looking the picture of health for
one of his years. It appears that
three or four months ago, Mr.
Haub contracted influenza in a
severe form, from which he re
covered. Shortly after his re
turn to his home at Bondi re
cently, he contracted influenza
again. He had only been ill for
two or three days, under medical
treatment, when he collapsed and
died on Friday morning.
The late Mr. Haub was 56 years
of age. Thirty-three years ago,
he and his brother Chris, came,
across from Young and took, up I
land at Hiawatha, which was then
a veritable "howling wilderness."
Needless to say, they had an up
hill battle and suffered many hard
ships and set-backs for a number
of years, but they were made of
the right stuff for pioneering work
and saw it through. Until the
township of West Wyalong was
established, they had to go to
Young or Temora for their sup
plies. Deceased was one of the
best farmers of the district, and
his practical knowledge, combin
ed with indomitable courage and
enterprise, brought him to the
stage—a little over 12 months ago
—where he and his wife were en
abled to retire. They purchased a
fine home at Bondi, where they
have been enjoying a well-earned
rest—Mr. Haub paying occasion
al visits here in connection with
his interests. It is a melancholy
fact that a good proportion of our
pioneers—after years of priva-
tion and strenuous work—do not
live long after retirement to enjoy,
the fruits of their labor. Mr.
Haub was of a kindly, amiable
disposition, highly respected and
esteemed throughout the town and
district. The large number who
attended the funeral on Monday
morning was ample proof of this.
The remains were brought to
West Wyalong by train on Mon
day, and were interred in; the
Church of England portion of the
cemetery, alongside -those of one
of his children who died years
ago. The Rev. C. S. Robertson
officiated at the graveside, and the
local funeral arrangements were
conducted by Mr. Mills
Deceased leaves a widow, one
son and six daughters to mourn
their sad loss. The daughters re
side with their mother at Bondi,
whilst the son, George, lives at
Hiawatha. Mr. C. Haub, of Hia-
watha, Messrs William and Lewis
Haub, of Young, are brothers,
whilst Mrs. O. Cattle and Mrs.
Tideman, Young, are sisters of
the deceased. His aged mother
also resides at Young. All were
present at the funeral except Mr.
Chris Haub, who could not leave
Sydney owing to the serious ill
ness of bis wife.
Deceased has been a member of
the Manchester Unity Oddfellows
since 1895. Members of the West
Wyalong Lodge marched in pro
cession, and the Oddfellows ser
vice at the graveside was conduc-
ted by District Secretary Bro. T.
A. Smith.
