Obituary

Our Creswick correspondent writes:-

The death of two old and aged residents of the town have occurred during the past two days in Mrs Bowker and Mr Romeo. The former was 77 years of age, and the relict of the late J.C. Bowker. Both the deceased were well known and respected residents. The later Mr Romeo was a well – known football enthusiast in his more youthful years, and was well known to all old Creswick boys as an ardent “Barracker.”[3]
