DEATH OF MR. J. C. DALGLISH
In Goulburn Last Night
The many friends of Mr. James Campsie Dalglish, better known to his intimates as "Jock," regretted to hear of his passing last night. Mr. Dalglish was admitted to the Goulburn District Hospital on Friday last, and his health took a serious turn, death  occurring at 6 o'clock last night. Mr. Dalglish was born at Goulburn and was 49 years of age. He was a son of the late Mr. A. A. Dalglish and as a lad was a student at Riverview College. Immediately on leaving college he enlisted and served with the A.I.F. in France in the First World War. On his return he secured a property at Armidale, but returned to Pomeroy on the death of his father about 20 years ago. Since then he had been actively in charge at Pomeroy. and took a keen interest in the breeding of both cattle and sheep. He was also dceply concerned about the future of the returned men and assisted practically in making the way easier. Some five years ago he became interested in the propisal to form a league for the direction of public interest to the necessity of developing the Southern Tablelands. He became president of the Southern Tablelands Development League and remained in that position for three years, when ill-health compelled his retirement. He made the league his first interest in life
and by his personal contacts with Ministers and officials compelled them to give heed to the claims of the league. Time, energy and petrol or, in those days, charcoal, were no object to him when his determination led him to take any road which he believed would lead to achievement.
Those who had the good fortune to work with him in those days will always remember him as a kindly, energetic and genial person. He was one of those unusual persons who never had criticism for anyone—he could always fine some reason for human nature's fallibility. He was president of the Goulburn Race Club a number of years ago.
Mr. Dalglish was a direct descendant, fourth generation, of Sir Walter Scott, and a second cousin of the Duke of Norfolk. He was also a nephew of Rear-Admiral Dalglish, who commanded the Australian station from 1932 to 1934, in which year he died.
He leaves a wife and four children, Angus (in the Army), Mary Josephine, John and Charles. The remains are to be cremated at Rookwood at 2 o'clock to-morrow. The ashes will be returned to Goulburn for interment on Pomeroy at a date and time to be announced later.

OVERLOOKING THE VALE
An unusual and beautiful service took place at Pomeroy on Friday. afternoon when the remains of James Campsie Dalglish were laid in a cairn overlooking the Valley and the home he loved so well. More than a hundred were present and the vale had never
looked more beautiful after the recent rains, with the sun gleaming bright on a greenness everywhere. The cairn for the casket had been built on the side of the hill to the north of the homestead which it overlooked. All in this world had their faults, said Rev. H. P. Reynolds, at the service marking the interment.
The man they were honouring had faults common to all of them but he also had virtues that were not so common and not so generally expressed by men.
A tablet would be laid there, engraved "One who loved this Vale." There was no doubt that "Jock" Dalglish loved the soil and the good earth. His whole life, his emotional roots were grounded in the soil from which man got his bread and sustenance of life. There could not be much wrong with a man who so dearly loved the soil, these things of the earth. They sprang from the earth and they. returned to it and, it was that attribute, his sense of the brotherhood of man, irrespective of class or creed that made him interested in his work as a citizen. 
A TYPICAL AUSTRALIAN
He was in many ways typical of the true Australian."'He could be casual with a lot of things which might be felt to be important. There seemed to be in the Australian make-up a certain carelessness and Jock Dalglish with a rugged exterior, and sometimes abrupt manner isms, made one think of that Australian, going to that undreamed of destiny that Bartlett Adamson spoke of in a poem of his. He loved this vale and he showed that love by devoting himself to the interest and welfare of the vale. In a  faltering way he (the speaker) paid a tribute on their behalf and his own to the memory of the man. He knew that, memory would live long not only in this place but in the hearts of marny people other than those privileged to be there that afternoon to pay tribute to his memory and virtue. Apart from members of the family and personal friends, among the various bodies represented were: A.P. and H. Society, Mr. Eric Poue; The Graziers' Association, Mr. Irwin Maple Brown; Goulburn Club, Mr. W. M. Chisholm; City Council, Alderman Darcy and Mr. W. I. Muntz; Empire Society, Mr. J. Green; Southern Development League, Mr. H. F. Prell; Goulburn and District. Ambulance, Messrs. M. H. Dart, A. Goodhew and S. O. Lambert, and Deputy, Superlntendent B. Mann and Ambulance Officer J. Storrier; former members of the V.A.O.C., Rotary, Mr. T. Williams as. well as members of the staff of Pomeroy.
