R.I.P. 16/8/1896: Daniel Gleeson, aged 81, died of Senility and Pneumonia, listed as a farmer. Death registered at Deloraine. Son, Dennis Gleeson of Redlands was the informant, he signed with his mark.
Daniel Gleeson was a tenant farmer at West Park, it says on his death registration that West Park is at Westbury, this is incorrect. West Park is at Dairy Plains which is near Deloraine. He married Bridget Hayes (John Calvin) from Tipperary Ireland, she died 6 June 1890 and was buried in the Catholic Cemetery at Deloraine which is very near to the Catholic Church and it is highly likely that Daniel was buried with Bridget.
