Mr. C. F. W. JUST.
A very old and respected resi-
dent of the town and district
passed away on Wednsday morn-
ing, in the person of Mr. C. F. W.
Just, at the age of 75 years. He
was born at Selesia, Germany,
and at the age of 12 years came to
Australia with his parents, who
settled at Kapunda. As soon the
Coglin District was thrown open
the deceased took up land and
joined the pioneers of Dawson.
About the same time he married
the daughter of D. Seekamp, farm-
er of Stockport. In 1911 Mr
Just retired from farming pur-
suits and came to live in Peter-
borough, where he owned a
number of houses. In January
1917 Mrs. Just died. There is
one son (Ernest A.) and one
daughter (Mrs Melville), who are
left to mourn their sad loss. Two
years ago deceased underwent a
a very serious operation, which
proved most successful and he
enjoyed good health until the end
of February, when he took ill and
was unable to leave his bed again
He suffered considerable pain at
times, but his end came peace
fully. During his sojourn at Daw-
son, the deceased gentleman was
an energetic member of the Coglin
District Council for many years
and also took a very live interest
in the Agricultural Bureau. In
his younger days he was fond of
sport, which benefitted consider-
ably by his generosity and per-
sonal assistance. He also gave
freely to charities. His was a
career that was much admired by
all who knew him intimately.
The funeral took place on Thurs-
day afternoon, when a very large
gathering of sympathisers was
present at the graveside.
