DEATH OF MR. K. L. COLLEY
The very many friends of Lady Stirling, of 'The Lodge,' Strathalbyn, will regret to hear of the sudden death of Mr. K. L. Colley, who died on Friday last at the age of 49 yeas. He had lived in the Clare district for about 80 years. He owned a fruit garden, and was interested in farming. A keen sportsman, Mr. Colley had played polo, and formerly hunted as master of the hounds. He married the eldest daughter of Sir Lancelot Stirling. Messrs. Neville (Broken Hill) and C. L. Colley ( Clare) are brothers. The funeral left the home of Dr. Ernest Good on Saturday afternoon for the North Road Cemetery.

THE LATE MR. K. L. COLLEY.
Great regret was expressed when it was learned that Mr. K. L. Colley, of Stanley Flat, Clare, had passed away suddenly on Friday morning last. He had not been in good health for some time. Mr. Colley
was of a kindly disposition, and had many friends throughout the district.
He took a keen interest in public matters, and for several years was a director of the Clare Dried Fruits Association, retiring from that position about two years ago. He was fond of sport of all lands, a member of the Clare polo club, and acted as judge of various sports on several occasions on the Clare oval, and judged the horse events at the Country Women's Association's Show at Spalding in April last. Mr. Colley was educated in England, and prior to coming to Clare was engaged with Elder, Smith & Co., in Adelaide. He was master of the Adelaide Hunt Club, and a member of the Adelaide Polo  Club. Mr. C. L. Colley, of Clare, and Mr. N. Colley, of Redan Station, Broken Hill are brothers. Much sympathy has been expressed for his widow, who is a daughter of the late Sir Lancelot Stirling. The  funeral took place at the North Road Cemetery, Adelaide, on Saturday afternoon, in the presence of a large number of friends, Mr. F. W. Forsaith, in conjunction with a city firm carrying out the arrangements.
