  	OBITUARY It is with sincere regret that we ("Delta Advocate") heard of the death of Mr. John Gilmour last Wednesday (June 1st.) Deceased for some time past had been suffering from the result of a neglected cold, and it was apparent to everyone that he could not last much longer. Born in Scotland, the deceased came out to Australia when, he was only 14 years of age, and shortly after, found his way to this district, where he remained for some time, after which lie travelled over a great portion of both Queensland and New South Wales. Eventually he married anil settled down at the Ravenswood Junction. Some eight years ago Mr. Gilmour returned with his family- to this district and was engaged in timber getting until last year when he entered into sugar cane cultivation. The funeral, which took place on Thursday morning, was largely attended by friends anxious to pay their last tribute to a, very good fellow. Deceased leaves behind a wife and eight of a family, the eldest being about 21 years and the youngest, two years of age. Much sympathy is extended to them in their great loss.
