W H RILEY

 William Henry Riley 1834-1901 (born in England to William H and Hannah Riley) 

1901 - GULGONG NEWS.
On Saturday night, last Mr. William Riley, of the Caledonion Lead, Gulgong, breathed his last. The deceased had been in a critical condition for some days, and a day or two before he died no hopes were held out for his recovery. The funeral, which was a very long one, took place on Monday afternoon. The deceased was an old and much-respected resident of Gulgong, and took a keen interest in politics, mining, &c. Much sympathy is expressed on all sides for his widow and family.
