Mr. Bert Heard
A native of Gulgong, Mr. Bert Heard, died suddenly at his home on Monday night last, aged 52 years.
Deceased was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Heard, who were prominent in the public life of the town in its early days.
The news of Mr. Heard's sudden demise shocked the whole community. He had been in ill-health for some years, but during recent times had been making a steady recovery and had put on weight.
About 10 o'clock on Monday night he sat reading, when a blood vessel in his throat burst, causing his death within ten minutes. The deepest sympathy is felt for Mrs. Heard and family.
During the past few years the late Mr. Heard was in business in Herbert street, his residence adjoining his premises, and he was highly esteemed, being a straight going, conscientious man.
A widow and the following family is left to mourn: — Mr. Robert Heard, Mrs. H. Rush, Misses Lily Heard, Laura Heard and Bride Heard.
Ald. F. W. Heard is his only brother.
The funeral took place yesterday afternoon, the arrangements being carried out by Mr. R. S. Bayliss.
Our sympathy is extended.5
