MR. GRANT FIELD
The death occurred on Friday last of Mr. Grant Field, one of the best known and popular men in the Bedgerabong district, having resided there all his life.
The late Mr. Field was 56 years of age, and is survived by a widow and family of six daughters and one son: Henry, Rita, Edna, Alice, Dorothy, Phyllis and Joan.
Messrs. Orton and Henry Field, of Bedgerabong, are brothers of deceased, and a sister-in-law, Mrs. W. W. Field, lives at Manly. Mr. A. H. Field, optician, Forbes, is a nephew.
The late Mr. Field had been engaged in some clearing work on Carraboblin Station, with Mr. Stanley Neilson. When he failed to return to his quarters on Friday night, his companion became alarmed, and a search party was organised. Several cars engaged in the search, and the body of Mr. Field was located about 8.30 p.m. lying in the vicinity of the spot where he had been working that day. Early in the afternoon, Mr. Neilson had had a conversation with deceased, and he then appeared to be in excellent health.
