The death occurred on Wednesday last of Mr. Kirkby Seymour Creasey, who had resided in Bowral for 30 years. He was 66 years of age, and first came to this district as a dairyman and gardener at "Arrankamp," He stayed there until the death of the owner, the late Miss E. C. Brenan. Mr. Creasey then retired to live in Campbell Avenue, Burradoo.
