OBITUARY
Mr. R. D. CORBEL.
The death of Mr. Roy Dunn Corbel of Rudduck street, Dandenong, occurred on Monday, at the age of 45 years. Deceased had not been in the best of health for some considerable time, and when it was made known that he had passed away there were many expressions of sympathy extended to Mrs. Cordel and her family in the loss of a husband and father who was well liked and esteemed by residents of Dandenong who had been in contact with him. Roy, as he was more familiarly known, was employed by the State Electricity Commission, and was closely connected with movements in Dandenong, prominent among them being Dandenong Mark Lodge, Dandenong branch A.N.A., and Hope of Dandenong Tent I. He was also a Past Master of the Lord Kitchener Masonic Lodge.
The remains were cremated at the Springvale Crematorium today in the presence of a very large number of relatives and friends. As deceased was a returned soldier the Union Jack was used as a pall. Revs. E. J. Hateley and Muller officiated both at the home and the crematorium. The pall bearers were Messrs. L. Birchill, J. M. Hall, H. Shepley, F Aumann, R. Nunn, F. A. Singleton, J. Airdrie, G. Westmoreland, R. Brooks and J. Griffiths. The-Masonic service was read by Rev Muller; the soldiers’ service by Mr. Birchill, and the “Last Post” was sounded. The mortuary arrangements were carried out by W. J. Garnar
