OBITUARY.
MR. HENRY QUINN.
The death occurred during last Monday night of a very old resident of the Gundagai and Tumut districts in the person of Mr. Henry Quinn, father of Mrs. William Watson, Simpson street, Tumut, at the age of 79 years. The late Mr. Quinn, who lived out at Midway, had not been well for some time, but, as is the case with the majority of the pioneers, would not give in, and it was only about a fortnight ago that he yielded to his daughter's entreaties and went to Tumut for medical treatment, which was given him by Dr. Mason for heart trouble, and the care and attention of Mrs. Watson and her family, Mrs. Quinn (who was formerly Miss K. Sullivan) being at present in Sydney. Mr. Quinn appeared to be making good progress, and on the Monday was able to sit out in the sun.
