THE death occurred in the Mudgee Hospital last evening of Mr. Daniel Ernest Wade, a very highly respected citizen, aged 47 years. About a fortnight ago, deceased contracted pleurisy and pneumonia, and although a great fight was made to save his life, the effort proved unavailing.
The late Mr. Wade was born at Tallawang, and spent the whole of his life in the Mudgee and Gulgong districts. The fates were very unkind to him during the past 18 months or so. While following his occupation as a laborer, he had the misfortune to pierce his foot with a pick, and, complications setting in, he spent a long time in the Mudgee and Sydney hospitals, where operations were performed, and portion of a toe removed. He battled on gamely in spite of this disability, and earned the reputation of being a capable and conscientious workmen while in the employ of the local council.
He is survived by a sorrowing widow and nine sons and daughters, the youngest being four years of age. To these and other sorrowing ones the deepest sympathy of the whole district will be extended. A service was held in St. John's Church of England this afternoon by the Rev. A. G. Powell, and the funeral took place in the general cemetery. Messrs. J. C. Swords and Son were in charge of the arrangements.
