OBITUARY FREDERICK STRACHAN The sudden passing of Mr. Frederick Strachan at his residence at Richmond on December 6 was a great shock to his family and district friends. Of a most energetic nature, he had been tending his poultry flock more than usual owing to the extreme heat on that day, and, apparently overdoing it at his advanced age of 70 years, collapsed and died soon after. As a young man he joined the clerical staff of the Bank of N.S.W., and after 10 years’ service resigned and took up the land in Texas district on the border of N.S.W. and Queensland. He came to Richmond 10 years ago, and conducted a poultry farm with his son, Frederick Bayley (“Beau”). He was very kindly and interesting personality. In addition to his son, he leaves a widow and two married daughters to mourn their loss. On December 7, a funeral service was held in the Richmond Presbyterian Church, and which the internment took place in the Presbyterian cemetery, the Rev. D.L. Paterson officiating.
