Convict Notes
Mr. John Wynn died at his residence, '* Winstay Cottage," on Friday morning last, after a long and lingering illness. The deceased was suffering from paralysis; he has been a great invalid for the past two years, and nought but the most tender nursing and loving care has kept the feeble spark of life so long flickering in its socket. That dark angel, whom face to face some of us have not yet known, has stood on the threshold of that home for some months past. But one true heart put bravely back her trouble and her pain into those quiet chambers where all great griefs go, to minister with her own hands to his every need; but even love is powerless to hold back the fleeting spirit when the feet touch the dark river. ...

OBITUARY - Death came to him peacefully, painlessly like a tired child he fell asleep, we trust to wake on the bosom of his God. He has passed the Bourne: he has gone "where beyond these voices there is peace". The deceased, who was 78 years of age, was a native of England, but an old resident of this colony; he was of a genial disposition, well-known, and highly respected. The good that men do lives after them. Many now living can testify to the kind hearted acts of the deceased in his business capacity in times of depression from sickness or flood. He was for many years an energetic member of the road trust, he held that position until road inspectors were appointed. He was one of the trustees of the Woodville School of Arts. He occupied the position of churchwarden at All Saints' Church until sickness rendered him unable to fulfil the duties of his office. He leaves wife and a large family to mourn their loss. The funeral was on Saturday. The mortal remains of the deceased were carried into the church and alongside the aisle where his feet had trodden Sunday after Sunday for many a year. A number of personal friends had assembled there to pay this last tribute of respect to the departed.
