DEATH.
MR GEORGE TRAILL.
The death occurred at Bylong on Friday, Oct. 1, of Mr. George Traill at the age of 63 years. The late Mr. Traill was a noted grazier in the Bylong district, where he was respected by all sections of the community. He had resided on his Wigelmar property for a great number of years. News of his death was received with profound regret by the whole Rylstone and Bylong community. The wealth of floral tributes was evidence of his popularity. He is survived by a widow and aged mother. The funeral took place on Sunday last from St. Stephen's Church of England Bylong, to the Bylong cemetery. The last sad rites both at the church and grave were celebrated by Archdeacon Bromhead of Rylstone. Funeral arrangements were in the hands of J. B. Simpkins of Kandos. Our sympathy is extended to the bereaved ones7 .
