OBITUARY
MR. H. O. C. MADDRELL
'Mr. Henry Onyx Coghill Maddrell, aged, 41, a prominent Braidwood district pastoralist, died at his station home, "Mona," Braidwood, early thls morning. He had experienced indifferent health for the past 12 month's, but news of his death will come as a great shock to his many friends.
The late Mr. Maddrell was born at Braidwood and was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry Maddrell, pioneers of the district, and had been engaged in pastoral pursuits for many
years. Enlisting as a second lieutenant in 1914, he saw active service with the 7th Light Horse Regiment, returning to Australia in 1919. He held a commission as captain in the regiment for some time after the war.
He was a prominent and popular figure at Braidwood, where he identified himself with almost every movement for the welfare of the town and district. He was a member of the P. and A. Association and displayed a keen interest in the society's activitities.
Besides a widow and an eighteen-months-old son, Henry, he is survived by one brother, Mr. Garnet C. Maddrell, of Braidwood, and three sisters, Mrs. Minnett, Mrs. Robertson, and Miss Ruby Maddrell, all of Sydney.
The funeral will leave his late residence to-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock.'
