The death of Mr. William R. Winsor occurred rather suddenly yesterday morning. On Sunday morning deceased attended service with the Brethren in the Town Hall. He became seriously ill the same night. Alarming symptoms set in on Monday and his relatives were sent for. Medical skill proved unavailable and he passed away from internal hemorrhage. Mr. Winsor, who settled here from Launceston some six years ago, was a builder of the old school. As he did all his own joinery, rather than use factory material. He was employed on the job of converting Barratt’s corner into its present modern style. He was verging upon three score and ten and leaves a widow and grown up family. The funeral takes place this afternoon at the Bluff Cemetery.
