IPSWICH, April 11.- An Ipswich mill foreman, William Edward Radcliffe, 65, who retired on Thursday afternoon, was shortly afterward fatally injured in a traffic accident. Leaving his place of employment for the last time, he rode his auto-cycle towards his home In Davidson Street.
Two New Australians, Fred Powlow and Mike Meskew, who had been living with him, were also going home along the same road, one of them wheeling a bicycle.

OBITUARY
MR. JOHN RAWSON
NONOGENARIAN'S FUNERAL
After having reached the great age of 98 years, Mr. John Rawson, of 75 Kincaid-street, Wagga, died at an early hour on Saturday morning at his residence, after a short illness. Mr. Rawson retired from active public life about 14 years ago and has since resided in Wagga, where he quickly won the respect and high esteem of the whole community for his wonderful munificence towards charitable institutions and other worthy causes, particularly the Wagga District Hospital. Born at Sunderland, Durham, England, he came to Australia with his parents when only a boy, making the memorable trip on the barque, "British Empire," and landing at Geelong on March 14, 1853. Mr. Rawson paid a visit to Geelong only a few years ago and noticed many changes.
His father also passed the allotted span of three score years and ten, reaching the age of 84 years at the time of his death. His mother died in her 64th year. Mr. John Rawson was twice married, first to Miss Hannah Faulkner, at Inverleigh (Vic.), in 1869, there being four children by this marriage three of whom survive him. In 1877 Mr. Rawson married Miss Amelia Faulkner at Geelong, and she predeceased him in July 1933. There were no children of that marriage. He came to New South Wales in 1876, and until his retirement 14 years ago, was successfully engaged in farming and grazing pursuits in the Lockhart and Jerilderie districts. Children surviving him are Mr John Frederick Rawson of Milbrulong, who is visiting Eng
land for the Coronation festivities; James Alfred, of Trundle; and Annie (Mrs. J. Rawson) of Dubbo). There are seven grand-children and 10 great-grand-children.
The funeral took place yesterday afternoon. The cortege, which was very representative, moved from the Methodist Church, Wagga, at 1.30 o'clock for the Lockhart Cemetery, where interment took place in the family enclosure. Before leaving the church, a short service, largely attended by relatives and many old friends, was conducted by the Rev. A.
J. Gould. Mrs. A. J. Boswell played the organ and two of Mr. Rawson's favorite hymns, "Rock of Ages" and "The Sands of Time are Sinking," were sung by the congregation.
Mr. Gould in paying tribute to Mr. Rawson said, that he had known him for more than 20 years, and knew him as one of God's gentlemen. He was just a small man, but one with a grasp on God's finer things. He was a man of strong religious convictions. He had lived through the Victorian age and was possessed of Victorian standards which had stood the test of
the ages. John Rawson was a particularly generous man, who started on the road of life with nothing in his pocket but made good with diligence and honesty. Mr. Gould remembered many occasions when Mr. Rawson had personally helped people who were in urgent need.
He was a Christian gentleman, he said, with no affectation, was quiet, unobtrusive, reserved and very shy, but who loved the little people of the Sunday School and always looked for some way to assist them. "We thank God for a beautiful Christian gentleman of God, unafraid of meeting death," said Mr. Gould, "and to the bereaved ones we give you our very
tender sympathy in so great a loss."
The heavy oaken casket, beautifully mounted, was carried from the church by Messrs. A. Casperson (relative), W.H. Rawson (grandson, of Trundle), S. Hellston, A. Anderson, S. Castles and L. Cullen. The floral tray, heavily laden with flowers, was carried by four very old friends, Messrs. W. Belling, sen., J. Henman, D. Fraser and S. Sly.
Among the friends gathered at the church were Messrs. W. Schultz, H. Krause, Harris, Davidson, Griffin, J. Castle. H. T. Steinholt, Gannon, Misses Schultz, Jay, and Moss, Mrs. Gould, Mrs. Henman, and Miss Sherriff. Many motor cars joined the cortege on the way to Lockhart and a very large number of friends were around the grave to pay their last tribute, the Rev. A. J. Gould, journeying from Wagga to officiate at the grave-side service.
The casket was carried to the grave-side by Messrs. A. Casperson. W. H. Rawson, A. Anderson, S. Hellston, S. Ashley, and F. Howard (grandson), and the floral tray was in the care of Messrs, V. Lloyd, J. Rynehart, H. Macklin and C. Lloyd (relatives) and a large number of wreaths were carried by friends.
The chief mourners present, in addition to those mentioned, were Mr.and Mrs. James Alfred Rawson (son and daughter-in-law), of Trundle, New South Wales; Mrs. J. Rawson (daughter), of Dubbo; Mr. Cannon, of Wagga; Misses Joan and Grace Rawson, Mrs. S. Rawson (grand-children); Mrs. Hartwig and Mrs. Rynehart (relatives) and many friends from Lockhart
and Boree Creek, Milbrulong, The Rock, and Osborne, among them being Messrs. C. Cornell, A. Adamson, T. Richter. B. Boyd, W. Ilett, T. Hett, C. Odewalhn, J. H. Day, H. Hoffman, L. J. Rynehart, J. Rynehart (Engleby), Mr. and Mrs. Woodford,

MR. JOHN RAWSON, J.P. MR. JOHN RAWSON, J.P. Death at Wagga Wagga ATTAINED HIS 98th. BIRTHDAY LAST MONTH Great Tribute To a Pioneer and Public Benefactor Mr. John Rawson, retired grazier, aged years, died at his residence, 75 Kincaird Street, Wagga Wagga, on Saturday morning. Although his earthly life terminated in Wagga Wagga, it is with "Ingleby" Estate, Milbrulong, in the Lockhart district, that his name will be associated most. When they were residing (as de ceased himself put it) "within the sound of Bow Bells", London, his parents decided to emigrate to Australia, John, their son, being then a boy seven or eight years old. A memorable voyage on the barque "British Empire," terminated at Geelong (Vic.) and for Geelong district deceased always kept a warm corner of his heart, as he recalled the scenes of his boyhood and youth. Inverleigh (V.) was the place where he married Miss Hannah Faulkner, and as their family increased, they decided to migrate to New South Wales. Jerilderie district was the part of Riverina decided upon. It was the period when the cognomen "Squatter" had not the pleasant sound it has to-day: rather the re verse. New selectors were not welcomed and the selectors fully realised it. What troubled Mr. Rawson more was the desperate straights he was forded into, not by the squatters, but by the continuance of a severe drought, which decimated his flock, strained his financial resources to the utmost, and to make matters infinitely worse, sustained the great grief of losing the mother of his children. The experiences at Jerilderie were indelibly impressed upon his memory for the reasons stated, together with some additional reasons, viz., he was in Jerilderie township when the Kelly gang held up the Bank of N.S.W. and it was at Jerilderie that he met a fellow selector in the late Mr. Monahan. Upon their meeting they established a warm friendship, which remained unsevered up to the time of Mr. Monahan's death a few years ago. By rather a strange coincidence, the grandson of the late Mr. Monahan was interred in Lockhart cemetery just an hour be fore the remains of Mr. Rawson were interred there. Whilst still in the Jerilderie district he married Miss Amelia Faulkner, his deceased wife's sister.
There were no children from the second marriage. Up- on hearing of a chance of settlement in the Mittagong district, Yerong Creek, he decided to make the move and was indeed fortunate in acquiring the estate to which he gave the name "Ingleby." If the experiences at Jerilderie had proved as bitter as the waters of Marrah to the Israelites, the experiences at "Ingleby" proved as the land of Canaan, a land of "milk and honey." The wealth which he eventually ac quired was wrested from the property following many years of hard toil, combined with the frugality which he and his wife adopted, whereby riches acquired were considerably enhanced by the fewness of their wants, thus giving an ex ample to the majority of us at the present day. Some years after Mr. Rawson had comfortably sett- led at "Ingleby," there came into the district (now known as Milbrulong) several families of German descent, from South Australia principally. To them Mr. Rawson gave the right hand of fellowship, helping in whatever manner he could and establishing with them a reputation that has made the name of Rawson the hall-mark of honestly and just dealing that will never be erased. In the years succeeding, when he was known to them as "the old gentleman," his name was mentioned with pride and sincere affection. The church of his up-bringing was the Methodist Church and to that religious denomination he gave a loyal adherence and valued support right up to the day of his death.
Nothwithstanding that fact he entertained a praise worthy spirit of tolerance towards all men of whatever church, who professed loyalty in faith to Jesus Christ. In association with the late Mr. John Lloyd, the Boyd and Howard families, Mr. Rawson join ed in building the Union Church at Mittagong, and this little church has many sacred memories of men now passed to their reward, where they shared in the helpful ministration of Church of England, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Baptist and Methodist ministers. When no minister was available or could not at tend, Mr. Rawson himself conducted simple service. He was hon- cured with the appointment of Jus tice of the Peace and for many years exercised a helpful influence in many Lockhart district affairs such as the Brookong Farmers' Union (now the Lockhart F. and S.A.) and the Lockhart A. and P. Society. When the latter society acquired the showground-racecourse site, he felt that he could not conscientiously be associated with the society and such was his frank, outright char acter, he made no bones about saying so. For many years now he dissociated himself from all public matters, always excepting the exercise of religious duties, which consisted not so much in church-going as in carrying out the message contained in that scriptural saying, "In- as much as ye have done it to the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me." Whilst amply providing for the claims of his family in his lifetime as a steward of riches he made distribution in such devious ways and manners as will never be known, besides many straight out public gifts. He did not forget Lockhart, which he had seen grow into strength since its Green's Gunyah days. Ever since the establishment of the C.W.A. branch at Lockhart he has contributed £20 per year. He was at all times prepared to contribute substantially to the erection of a cottage hospital at Lockhart. As to the Methodist Church, he was so keen upon having the minister stationed at Lock- hart that he contributed £500 to- wards the erection of the first parsonage. Indeed he can be truly referred to as Lockhart's only direct benefactor up-to-date. He also substantially assisted Urana District Hospital. For the work of the Salvation Army he entertained the greatest respect and has made to that good cause many large donation. No S.A. officer within cooee of the place ever failed to call at "Ingleby": more frequently it was the first place they called and they were never turned empty away. Another charitable work that com- mended itself to his liberal support was Dr. Barnardo's homes for or phan children. In all these matters up to the time of her decease in 1933 he had the loyal support and cordial co-operation of his wife.
THE FUNERAL The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon. The cortege, which was very representative, moved from the Methodist Church, Wagga, at 1.30 o'clock for the Lockhart cemetery, where interment took place in the family enclosing. Before leaving the church, a short service, largely attended by relatives and many old friends, was con ducted by the Rev. A. J. Gould. Two of Mr. Rawson's favorite hymns, "Rock of Ages'' and "The Sands of Time are Sinking'" were sung by the congregation. The oaken casket, beautifully mounted, was carried from the church by Messrs. A. Casperson (relative), W. H. Rawson (grandson, of Trundle), S. Hellston, A. Anderson, S. Castles and L. Cullen. The floral tray, heavily laden with flowers, was carried by four very old friends, Messrs. W. Belling snr., J. Henman, D. Fraser and S. Sly. Among the friends gathered at the church were Messrs. W. Schultz, H. Krause, Harris, Davidson, Griffin, J. Castle, H. T. Steinholt, Gan non, Misses Schultz, Jay and Moss, Mrs. Gould, Mrs. Henman and Miss Sheriff. Many motor cars joined the cortege on the way to Lockhart and a very large number of friends were around the grave to pay their last tribute, the Rev. A. J. Gould journeying from Wagga to officiate at the graveside service.
The casket was carried to the graveside by Messrs. A. Casperson, W. H. Belling, A. Anderson, S. Hellston, Stan Ashley and F. Howard, and the floral tray was in the care of Messrs. V. Lloyd, J. Ryne hart, H. Macklan and C. Lloyd (relatives) and a large number of wreaths were carried by friends. Rev. A. J. Gould (superintendant of the Wagga Methodist circuit), in paying tribute to Mr. Rawson, said that he had known him for more than 20 years and knew him as one of God's gentlemen. He was a man with a grasp on God's finer things. He was a man of strong religious convictions. He had lived throughout the Victorian age and was possessed of Victorian standards, which had stood the test of the ages. John Rawson was a particularly generous man, who started on the road of life with nothing in his pocket, but made good with diligence and honesty. He remembered many occasions when Mr Rawson had personally helped people who were in urgent need. He was a Christian gentle- man, he said, with no affectation, was quiet, unobtrusive, reserved and he loved the little people of the Sunday School and always look ed for some way to assist them. 'We thank God for a beautiful Christian gentleman of God, un- afraid of meeting death," said Mr. Gould, "and to the bereaved ones we give our very tender sympathy in so great a loss." Besides those mentioned, the chief mourners included Mr and Mrs Jas. Rawson, Trundle (son and daughter-in-law); Mrs. J. Rawson of Dubbo (daughter) ; Mr. Frank and Mrs. Howard (grand-daughter); Mrs. E. Rawson (widow of S. Rawson, grandson).

Born at Sunderland, Durham, England, he came to Australia with his parents when only a boy, making the memorable trip on the barque, 'British Empire,' and landing at Geelong on March 14, 1853. Mr. Rawson paid a visit to Geelong only a few years ago. His father reached the age of 84 years at the time of his death, and his mother died in her 64th year.
Mr. John Rawson was twice married, first to Miss Hannah Faulkner, at Inverleigh (Vic), in 1869, there being four children by this marriage, three of whom survive him. In 1877 Mr. Rawson married Miss Amelia Faulkner at Geelong, and she predeceased him in July, 1933. There were no children of that marriage. He came to New South Wales in 1876, and until his retirement 14 years ago, was successfully engaged in farming and grazing pursuits in the Lockhart and Jerilderie districts. Children surviving are Mr. John Frederick Rawson, of Milbrulong, who is visiting England for the Coronation festivities; James Alfred, of Trundle, and Annie (Mrs. J. Rawson), of Dubbo.

JOHN RAWSON
After having reached the great age of 98 years, Mr. John Rawson, of Wagga, passed peacefully away on Saturday morning, 24th April. Born at Sunderland, Durham, England, he came to Australia with his parents when only a boy, making the memorable trip on the barque "British Empire," and landing at Geelong on 14th March, 1853. Mr. Rawson came to
New South Wales in 1876, and until his retirement 14 years ago, was successfully engaged in farming in the Lockhart and Jerilderie districts.
Born in the Victorian Age, John Rawson governed his life largely by Victorian standards. He was a man of strong, religious convictions, a keen Bible student, and a man with a well-furnished mind. Failing eye-sight and hearing handicapped him in his later years, yet he maintained by "listening-in," an up-to-date interest with the world in which he lived.
John Rawson was a good man and honoured by all who knew him as one of "God's gentlemen." He was also a generous man. The Lockhart Parsonage costs were half paid for by him, and the Wagga Sunday School, and the Wagga Hospital received of his generosity. Much of his giving was quietly done, and children's institutions and families in distress were the recipients.
John Rawson met death unafraid, for his faith in Christ as Saviour was very beautiful and definite. Rev. A. J. Gould conducted a service in the Wagga Church on Anzac Sunday, and read the committal at the Lockhart Cemetery paying a worthy tribute to a friend whom he had known for 22 years. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Rawson (Lockhart), Mr. J. A. Rawson (Trundle), and Mrs. J. Rawson (Dubbo) survive him, and with their children are in fellowship with the Christian Church. - A.J.G.

RAWSON PRIVATE HOSPITALRAWSON PRIVATE HOSPITAL NEW NAME FOR SPECIAL UNIT AT WAGGA BASE HOSPITAL Perpetuates Memory of Late John Rawson To perpetuate the memory of the late John Rawson, of Milbrulong who was the chief benefactor for manv years to the Wagga District Hospital it has been decided to name the private and intermediate section of the Wagga Base Hospital, the 'Rawson Private Hospital.
This decision was unanimously reached by the board of the hospital last night, and it was decided to seek the approval of the family of Mr Rawson. The chairman (Mr. A. O. F. Robinson) said that Mr. Rawson had been a wonderful benefactor. Year after year he had made donations of £50 or more, and one donation alone was £500. If the unit were named Rawson Private Hospital, the memory of a great man would be perpetuated and the institution would derive a certain prestige.
Judging by the recent demands on the private and intermediate wards, it might be necessary to extend that unit Mr. J. N. Small said that he had seen Mr. Rawson visit the secretary's office in years gone by, hand in a donation in an envelope, and with a- quiet 'good morning,' would leave. On no account would be allow any publicity to be made of his donations. Frequently he had come to the rescue of the institution when it was in difficulties. Other members of the board agreed that the suggestion was a happy idea, and it was unanimously adopted.

A Trundle Tragedy.
Mr. Samuel Rawson, who was thrown from his horse and killed on his father's property, Mareetha, at Trundle, was one of the best known graziers of the district, and a cricketer of note. Rawson left his home on Saturday morning to ride over the run. but some time later his horse came home without him. His young wife, fearing a tragedy, set out to look for him, and her worse fears were realised when she discovered her husband lying in the bush with a broken neck and a fractured skull. The occurrence cast a gloom over the whole district when it became known, and cricket match which was to be played between Forbes and Trundle on Sunday last was abandoned. A widow and two young children are left
