The Late Mr. Edgar David Doig.
The funeral of the late Mr Edgar David Doig youngest son of Mrs Mary Fraser Doig of 56 Fothergill-street, Fremantle, and the late John Alexander (Hooky) Doig of the 44th
Battalion, A.I.F., took place in the Presbyterian portion of the Fremantle Cemetary on Saturday afternoon. The Rev. A.E. Brice, of the Scots Church, Fremantle, officiated at the graveside in the presence of a very large and representative gathering. Mr. Doig was born at Midland Junction and after completing his education at the Fremantle Boys School, entered his apprenticeship as motor engineer with the Shell Company of Australia, Ltd., at North Fremantle, and had only finished his time about twelve months, ago. He was an enthusiast in sport. He played football, cricket and tennis, and was particularly prominent in football. He first played with the East Fremantle 'B' team and later was transferred to the league team, in which he had played for two years with credit. He was of exceptionally bright and cheerful disposition and held in high esteem by a wide circle of friends, and his untimely demise will be a source of regret to many. Mr Brice, in the course of an address at the graveside, paid tribute to the sterling character of the deceased; particularly his devotion and. attention to his widowed mother. The chief mourners were Messrs. Norman' and William Doig (brothers), James, Charles. Normal, and Cleave Doig (uncles), James Doig jr, David, Charlie, George and Dave Doig (cousins).
