Obituary:

Death – Croydon has sustained another great loss in the death of Mrs J. Saunders, wife of the head teacher of the Croydon Stat School. Mrs Saunders received a great loss just before Christmas, when she lost her mother suddenly, and had a serious illness. After an apparently good recovery, Mrs Saunders took an active interest in the affairs of the township, especially in the kindergarten department of the Anglican Sunday school. Then a fortnight ago she was laid aside with a heart affection ….. Much sympathy is felt for Mr Saunders and his little six-year-old daughter. [Lilydale Express 29-05-1914 pg3]

George Frederick Savage

Obituary:
A fatal accident occurred on the property of Captain A.E.T. Payne, “Yarraview” Lilydale ….. One of the shepherds … Charles Edward Savage, at about 4 o’clock in the afternoon was getting through the window of an outbuilding with a lamb in one arm and a gun in the other. The gun must have been jarred, for it was discharged, the shot penetrating the heart. Death was almost instantaneous. Deceased was 37 and leaves a wife and young family.
