Son of William and Bertha BLEAKLEY
BLEAKLEY.—On 24th July, in France, from wounds, Private Arthur J. M. Bleakley, fourth beloved son of William and Bertha Bleakley, of D'Aguilar and Wilston, aged 24 years.
Far from his sorrowing friends.
The chairman read a telegram from the military authorities announcing the death of Private A. J. Bleakley, who died of wounds received on the 24th July. The chairman referred to the sad news, as he felt for ex-Councillor Bleakley, who had lost two boys in the service of their country. He moved a letter of condolence. Cr. Power seconded, remarking he had known them since their baby day, and it was sad to think of the loss. The motion was carried, all members standing.
