Death of a District Pioneer Mr Frederick Grinter, a very old colonist and a highly respected resi- dent of the Western District for nearly sixty years, died on Monday at his residence, Kolora, at the age of 80 years. The late Mr Grinter was born at Drayton, Somerset, England, and came to Australia in the early fifties. He landed at Geelong and went first to the Pleasant Creek gold diggings. After spending some little time there he came to the Western District and took up land at Fram- lingham. About fifty-eight years ago he removed to Kolora where he also took up land, and where he had re- sided ever since, except for an ab- sence of some months, about three years ago, when he made a trip to the Old Country. Tho lato Mr Grin ter leaves a grown-up family of three sons, Messrs Prosper, Fred and George Grinter. Death at Carpendeit. The death occurred on Tuesday last of an old and highly respected resi- dent of Carpendeit in the person ol Mr Henry Jones, senr. The late Mr Jones, who had reached the advanced aga of 83 years, had been for a very long period a resident of the Camper- down district and his demise removes one who was associated with the early days of the district and who had done much for the common good. Mr Jones lived a quiet, but useful, life and there will be many who will re- gret the passing of a citizen so highly and deservedly esteemed. He was predeceased by his wife some 20 months ago, but a grown-up family are left to mourn their loss, for whom sincere sympathy will be felt. The funeral will leave Carpendeit at 10.30 o'clock this morning, reaching the Camperdown Cemetery at 2 p.m., where the remains will be laid to rest in the Roman Catholic portion. Messrs Collie and Brennan have charge of the funeral arrangements. VaMietery at WMriM On Wednesday, November 14 a number of friends of Mr aud Mrs Donald M'Leod and family assembled at "Lehura," Woerite, to bid them good-bye, and to make presentations. Mr Lee, on behalf of those present, gave to Mr and Mrs M'Leod, as me mentos from their friends at Weerite, each a handsome arm chair, and to Miss Mary M'Leod a silver-backed hair brush and comb. In doing so Mr isM spoke of the many good qualities of Mr ?ad Mrs M'Leod and family, and hoped that they would live long and b? able to enjoy the full benefits of quiet repose in the arm-chairs. He had known Mr and Mrs M'Leou for 17 years, and could 6ay that Weerite was losing an estimable family. Mr Axford also spoke. His acquaintance with the gueats did not go back quite as far as that of Mr Lee, but for 15 year* be had had the. pleasure of their friendship, and in that period bo had had many dealings with them, and could speak of their worth with every confidence. Mr M'Leod briny thanked the donors for their gift's and the spokesmen for their good wishes. It all came as a great sur prise to him and his family. He was not a public man, but he had always striven to get on well with his neigh bours. He was not leaving Camper down district, and he hopvd to retain their esteem and friendship. Mr and; Mrs M'Leod have purchased a farm adjacent to Camperdown, where they intend to reside in future. Ttoe Laaai MUk Supply. .
