Thanks Ray. I've started writing up Henry's story already, I had the funeral notice so this is an extra. Even with his obit, I've not been able to find out much about the life of Henry Doane so far. I'm still digging. regards Denise ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joan" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2005 4:03 PM Subject: [HC] OMA 9-1-1886 > DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT. > Mr Henry Doane, who died at Reid's Creek on the 31stult., was a very old > residentof the Ovens district, he having arrived in Beechworth about the > year 1853, and was actively engaged in > mining up to the latter part of last year, principally at the Woolshed and > Reid's Creek. > Deceased was at the time of his death 63 years fo age and has left a widow > and three children > He was a native of Connecticut, United States. > > Cheers Ray.
