DEATH OF MR. R. G. McCUTCHEON
DEATH OF MR. R. G. MCCUTCHEON
Mr Robert George McCutcheon, it will be learned with deep regret by a wide circle of friends, died suddenly on Sunday. Mr McCutcheon, who was born at Omagh, Country Tyrone, Ireland, in 1841, came to Australia in 1861. He had already learned his trade as a compositor and printer, and on arrival in Melbourne followed that occupation. He was in Port Fairy for some years, and then, returning to Melbourne, joined the firm of Mason, Firth and McCutcheon, of which his brother was a partner, and of which he himself subsequently became the head. In 1902 Mr. McCutcheon entered into politics, at the time of the Kyabram movement, and displaced Mr W H Williams for the St. Kilda seat in the Legislative Assembly. He continued to represent St Kilda until last year when owing to ill health he retired and did not seek re-election. He was for a while an honorary Minister in the last Peacock Cabinet. He was held in high esteem by his fellow members and was noted for his fairness in debate. He took his public duties seriously and brought a ripe experience and common sense to their discharge. Mr McCutcheon was a director of the Equity, Trustees Company. He was seriously ill last year but made a wonderful recovery, and seemed in good health but was seized with sudden illness on Friday evening and died yesterday. Mr McCutcheon leaves a widow, five sons, two of whom are on active service, and three married daughters. The funeral will be on Tuesday.
