    Obituary Transcript

    January 28 - Mr. John Garland died at his residence on the 11th line of Goulburn on the 26th inst. Deceased was well known in the county, being of such a disposition as to make and hold friends.

    He was a man of powerful physique, standing over six feet in height, and weighing over 250 pounds. In politics he was an ardent Conservative, until the Jesuit question came up, when he endorsed the Equal Rights platform.

    His parents were among the first settlers of the township of Goulburn, his mother dying about two months ago, at the advanced age of 93 years. Four daughters and one son are left to mourn over his demise.

    His popularity as a citizen was evidenced by over 100 vehicles attending his funeral, the services of which were conducted by Rev. Mr. Coleman at St. John's, Ashton, in the absence of the incumbent, Rev. Mr. Robertson.
