NORTHAM NEWS.
A DEATH FROM TYPHOID.
VISIT OF THE MINISTER FOR MINES.
(BT TELEGRAPH.)
[FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.]
NORTHAM, February 28,
Mr. Thomas Coyne, aged 27, died from typhoid fever today. Exactly a month ago his brother, aged 22, died from the same cause. The deceased was, like his late brother, amongst our most esteemed and energetic young farmers. Wide spread sympathy is felt for the surviving father and mother, who, as might be expected, are almost broken hearted over the loss of their two worthy sons.
