Obituary:

The death took place at Lilydale on Wednesday last of Mr Richard Black (should be Nicholls), an old and respected resident at the aged of 81 years. The late Mr Black leaves a grown-up family of five sons and five daughters, with whom sympathy is felt in their bereavement. [Lilydale Express 29-01-1915 pg2]

Correction:

In our last issue we inadvertently mentioned the name of Mr Richard Black as having died on 27th January at Lilydale. The name should have read Mr Richard Nicholls, of Black St, Lilydale. [ Lilydale Express 05-02-1915]
