OBITUARY.
MR. CHAS. WHITMEE.
Mr. Charles Whitmee, of 'Bright-
on,' Canowindra, an old and esteemed
resident of that district, passed away
in a private hospital at that town on
Saturday night. Mr. Whitmee was
walking in the main street on Satur-
day morning when he felt a stroke
coming on. His son conveyed him to
the hospital, but, despite the best of
treatment, he died about 9 o'clock. He
was a native of Bathurst, where he
was born in 1851, and was a son of the
late Mr. and Mrs. George Whitmee.
About 40 years ago he settled in the
Canowindra district and followed graz-
ing pursuits. He married a Miss Chap-
man and one son was born of the
union. Both are left to mourn the
loss of a fond husband and father. For
a number of years Mr. Whitmee was
a councillor of the Boree Shire and
was also a member of the Molong P.P.
Board. The interment took place in
the Methodist portion of the Canow-
indra cemetery. Ald. S. A. Whitmee,
of Orange, is a nephew.
