Obituary:

The later Mr Harry Walker J.P. A sense of loss and bereavement has fallen upon the settlement of Mt Dandenong due to the sudden death of Mr Harry Walker J.P. In the middle of an active life he was suddenly stricken down, and after a short illness died on Friday morning 10th October at the comparatively early age of 56. Of a quiet and retiring disposition, Mr Walker was yet ready to lend his help in every social or public effort for the improvement of the district. He took a deep interest in the Methodist Church of which he was treasurer . . . The deep respect in which Mr Walker was held by the residents was clearly shown a short time ago when the want of a local honorary magistrate was felt. He was selected by a large majority as the best fitted for that positon. Mr Walker was one of the original settlers when the Mt Dandenong forest was opened for settlement, moving up here from Montrose, where he was brought up. His raspberry garden has often been photographed as one of the show gardens of the mountain being beautifully situated and always well kept . . . Mr William Walker, the eldest son is at present at sea, returning after four years active service abroad, and will not hear the sad news of his father’s death until his arrival in Australia.

Susan Walker

Obituary:

On Sunday, August 24th, the pale horse and its rider visited Montrose and removed one of the oldest residents of this district in the person of Mrs James Walker, senr. (relict of the late James Walker). Close on 40 years ago the deceased lady settled in this district and to talk to her of the early history of this district makes realise how much the pioneers had to put up with . . .

Lionel Whisson

Obituary:

Mr Whisson was a son of the late Mr and Mrs Whisson, who conducted the coffee palace at the corner of Clarke and Main streets about thirty years ago. Deceased made a study of electrical and radio science, and his weekly articles in the “Express” on these subjects evoked much favourable comment. He established an electrical business in Lilydale which he later disposed of to the present owner (Mr W.J. Bennett) in order to take over a similar concern in Adelaide, in conjunction with a picture theatre. Failing health and a desire to return to his home town caused him to relinquish this enterprise. His sojourn here was of short duration, as his strength gradually faded away, and the end came peacefully on Thursday last. . .  Sincerest sympathy is extended to his bereaved wife, son and daughter.
