The Cessnock Eagle and South Maitland Recorder notified on July 7, 1950, the passing of Mr. Walter Edward Horder of Ann Street, Cessnock, who collapsed at his home and died a few hours later in the Cessnock Hospital on June 27 at the age of 57 years. At the time of his death Mr. Horder was employed at Aberdare Extended Colliery.
When the Cessnock Sportsground was first constructed the deceased left his employment as a mineworker to take on the job as caretaker, later relinquishing the position to return to the mines.
He was keenly interested in Rugby League and was a past secretary and a life member of the Cessnork Football Club.
He was a very well known and respected citizen of the district and was regarded as one of the men who helped to put Cessnock on the map as far as Rugby League was concerned.
Mr. Horder leaves a wife, Elsie and one son, Max.
