The Late Mr J. L. McLellan
Obituary
The district was shocked and grieved deeply at the news received here last Saturday of the death of Mr J.L. McLellan of "Dalmally" Bordertown. The deceased had not been particulary well during the past twelve months, though his outward aspect would not have given anyone that impression, He was attending the Narrocoorte Races and was taken seriously ill on the second day. On the following Monday an operation was performed at the Narracoorte Hospital for appendicitis and apparently good progress was made until Saturday, March 22nd when the patient had a relapse and did not recover.
Mr J.L. McLellan was born at Pine Hill, and was the second son of the late Mr Nicol McLellan, of Cove Station. and Mrs McLellan, of Manor House, Narracoorte. His early life was spent with his parents at Cove Station until he came to the Tatiara in 1893 to manage "Dalmally" since.
It is quite safe to say that there was not a better liked man in the whole district than Mr JL McLellan for his quitet but genial manner, open character and trust-worthiness had earned him a host of friends and aquaintances carried him through the South East and the Western District of Victoria. He was prominately associated with the racing clubs at Bordertown, Mundalla and Lockhart, and himself raced horses with considerable success at the various district meetings. He was good both at cricket and football in his earlier days, and always maintained his interest in these sports. As an officer of both the Tatiara and Mundalla Show Societies, Mr McLellan always gave valuable assistance; his interest in the Foresters Lodge was very keen, and he went through all the officers chairs; there was no institution in the disstrict which had for its object the progress of the district which could not command his help and interest.
The deceased leaves a wife and four young children, and much sympathy is felt for them, and for his mother, who lives at Narracoorte with two sisters, also Mrs J E Clark, sister of the deceased and three brothers, one of whom is at the front. The body was brought from Narracoorte to Bordertown on Monday noon, the arrangements having been in the hands of Messrs Platt Bros of Narracoorte and Mr T L Truman of Bordertown. The Rev R W McLean of Narracoorte officiated at the graveside, and the funeral was a very large one indeed.
