OBITUARY
MR. AUBREY JAMES NAUGHTON
When on Friday week last, death claimed Mr. Aubrey J. Naughton, there passed away in the Gundagai District Hospital, one of the best known graziers in the district— a man who, from small beginnings, and by dent of perseverance and hard work, had become one of the biggest graziers in the Gundagai Shire.
The late Aub. Naughton came to the Gundagai district about thirty years ago. His capacity for work was soon in evidence, and after being successful as a share farmer in a maize growing venture he purchased the Wagragobilly property from P. Mulqueeney. An astute judge of sheep and cattle, deceased quickly won recognition as a dealer and as breeder of good quality wool and beef.
As the years went by he expanded his property, which today is one of the best in the district. The late Mr. Naughton worked hard during his lifetime, and finally his health caused some concern to his family. Some little time ago he consulted a specialist, and was advised to take things easily. But to a man who had always been active and keen and one who loved nothing better than to work on his property amongst his stock, it was hard to keep strictly to doctor's orders.
On Wednesday of last week deceased suffered a stroke, and was admitted to hospital in a critical condition, and on Friday morning his life closed. The late Aubrey Naughton was 60 years of age at the time of his demise, and leaves a widow and three children — two girls, Elsie and Clare, and one son, Herbert. One brother, Hughie (Sydney) and one sister, Lilly (Sydney) also survive. Living in the Gilmore district are three step-brothers, Thomas, Victor and James Naughton.
During his lifetime deceased assisted with public and patriotic affairs, his woolshed on his "Tarraweena" property often being used for social functions in the drive to raise funds for the Gundagai Red Cross and the Returned Soldiers' League. Deceased was associated with the Gundagai P. and A. Society, and in addition was at any time guide, philosopher and friend to the Brungle Cricket Club. At one time he captained the village team, and although he was never a great cricketer, he loved the game, and was instrumental in keeping the club functioning during a difficult
period.
On the Saturday afternoon, after prayers had been said in St. Patrick's Church, Gundagai, the funeral left for the Catholic portion of the Wagragobilly Cemetery, where deceased's mortal remains were laid to rest. Very Rev. Father Deegan read the prayers at the graveside, and the pall-bearers were Messrs. Hughie, Tom, Vic and Jim Naughton, Frank
Lynch and C. A. Gardiner. Mr. W. Dennis, of Gundagai, conducted the funeral arrangements.
