THE LATE
MR WILLIAM URLWIN
By the death of Mr William Urlwin on February 11 the residents of
Salisbury and its neighbourhood have lost one of the best of settlers.
Mr Urlwin arrived in the colony in 1849 and first settled in Dry
Creek. He subsequently removed to Salisbury, where he lived for
many years, actively devoting himself to business. Of late years
he had retired and engaged in farming in a small way. He was a frequent
exhibitor of dairy produce at the Adelaide Shows, and was the winner
of prizes for his excellent bacon. As a competent judge of stock
he was in great request at various country shows. Mr Urlwin was
a man of some individuality; and his superior mental qualities induced
a feeling of respect from all. He took a lively interest in politics
and local subjects, and for several years was chairman of the District
Council of Yatala North. He also greatly interested himself in the
affairs of St John's Church, Salisbury. The large funeral at the
Salisbury Cemetery well attested the high opinion held for the deceased
by all classes. Mr Urlwin, who was sixty four years of age, has
left four sons and three daughters. |

COLAC
SAWMILLER'S TRAGIC DEATH
Mr Stanley
Westwood Killed by Falling Timber A well known Colac man, Mr Stanley
Westwood of Church Street, Colac, lost his life as a result of an
accident while timber getting at Gerangamete on Monday. It appears
that Westwood, accompanied by his brother, Charles and Basil Bamford,
went from the mill to a spot where they had been felling trees about
three months ago. On that occasion the top of one of the felled
trees had caught on the top of another. Nothing was done about it
at the time. On Monday, according to a statement by Bamford to the
police, deceased on Monday proceeded to pull away the part of the
tree that was caught in the other. He was using a steel and draw
bar of the tractor. The rope which he had tied to the butt of tractor
was ten feet away from the butt when the pulling commenced. A green
limb snapped off the standing tree and struck Westwood on the head,
and rendering him unconscious. The accident occurred about 10.30
am and the victim was taken to the Colac Hospital suffering from
severe head injuries. He died early in the afternoon. Sincere regret
will be felt throughout the town and district at the tragic death
of Mr Westwood, who was held in high esteem as a business man. He
has been engaged in sawmilling and timber getting business for many
years. He was an active member of the Colac Tennis Club and helped
the club in its rebuilding operations, in a voluntary capacity in
many ways. He was 44 years of age at the time of his death. He leaves
a widow and a family of five to mourn his loss, and the utmost sympathy
will be extended to them in their bereavement. |
