Coming to Orange three weeks ago on a health trip, Mr. John Evan Haworth, engineer to the Drummoyne Council, died at Dalton Street, on Saturday morning, at the age of 34 years. Mr. Haworth was no stranger to Orange, for at one time he was on the staff of the local branch of the Lands Department, add served his articles as a surveyor under Mr. E.  E. Sampson, of that department. He was born in Lancashire, England, and came to Australia 20 years ago. At the outbreak of the war Mr. Haworth enlisted from Mudgee, and  returned to Australia to concentrate on the profession of engineering. After being with the Main Roads Board for some time, he secured a position with the Woollahra Council as  assistant engineer, and from there he went to Drummoyne to take control of that municipality's road work. Mr. Haworth had not enjoyed good health for some time, and during  the three weeks he had been in Orange he was under the care of a trained nurse. He was a single man, and is survived by his mother, Mrs. Gillibrand. The funeral took place  yesterday, and the Rev. J. E.
