OBITUARY.
M. Bolger.
Another link with the past has snapped in the lamented death of Mr Martin Bolger, at the age of 59, on Wednesday last, from hemorrhage of the brain. Deceased had been ailing for about 12 months, but the end came so suddenly as to cause a great shock to the family and his many friends. He was paying a visit to Mr Grimison, at whose residence the death occurred, without any warning. Mr Bolger was a native of Geelong, and after carrying on business at Moama for many years as representative of Watson and Co., Bendigo, stock and station agents, he migrated to the Balranald district some six years ago, first residing at Emu Park, and afterwards moving to Condoulpe, from which place the funeral started on Friday. Deceased was very-popular with all classes, and deep sympathy, will be felt for his widow and, family of five sons and four daughters, whose loss is a heavy one. He also leaves a sister (Mrs Sprewan, of Echuca) and two nieces, Mesdames McBean and McVean, late of Moulamein, and another relative is Mr P. Byrne, first cousin. Mr Bolger took an active interest in all local matters, and was a member of the P. and A. Society committee. He was, without doubt, "a good sort", and his absence will be keenly felt for many years.

Martin married Elizabeth Rebecca LISLE [794] [MRIN: 234] in 1879 in Mt Hope, VIC, Australia. (Elizabeth Rebecca LISLE [794] was born about 1859 in Toronto, , Canada and died in 1942 in Seymour, Vic, Australia.)
