The deceased gentleman was born at Port Augusta, South Australia, and after living in South Australia for eight years and New South Wales for a further eight years, came to Western Australia in 1894. He was on the East Murchison Goldfields for about six years and then spent 12 years on the Eastern Goldfields.

Masonic affairs occupied his attention, and while in Boulder he was an active member-of the Mossgirl Lodge No. 902 S.C. The deceased had suffered indifferent health for some time, but had only been away from work two months prior to his death.
