The deceased who succumbed to bronchitis, was married in Stawell 50 years ago ; and 10 years later moved to Brimpaen, where he settled till the end of his life ; leaving a family of seven sons and seven daughters and a widow to mourn their loss. The deceased was a very successful grower of excellent wool from an average flock of about 4000 sheep. Daryl Crabtree Gladstone Qld www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/goroke/
