  	Obituary  - Mr. William H. Blair Following a long illness, patiently borne, Mr. William H. Blair, of Bathurst, near Fallbrook, yielded up this life on Wednesday evening, 20th July, at the age of 56 years. The cause of his death was lung trouble, begun by a cold brought on while working at the harvest a few years ago and which it was found impossible to check.  Deceased was the son of Mr. John Blair of Bathurst, who survives his son, and was a nephew or Mr. James W. Blair, of Perth. He was married to Miss Margaret Miller, daughter of the late George Miller, 3rd con, Bathurst, who, with three sons and three daughters, survive him. Deceased was a Presbyterian, and a man greatly esteemed by his friends and acquaintances, who found in him a most friendly and obliging neighbour and estimable citizen. Besides farming, he was well known as a stock drover, and a large dealer in cattle and lambs, which brought him in contact with a large circle of fellow farmers.
