He then travelled to Koroit, in the Warrnambool district, and as a young man of 23 he came to the Wimmera and selected land at Oliver's Gully, four miles east of Noradjuha. He was a hard worker in his young days, and a very successful farmer and grazier. He was honest and respected as an old resident of the Noradjuha district. General sympathy is extended to the daughter, Mrs. C. W. McDonald, and sons (David and James) and all the family, who are good citizens of the district.". OBITUARY.
