Tommy GROORY (more)

Cause of Death: Asphyxia, pneumonia

Alias Tommy. It is thought the young man caught a chill while on police raids, which then developed into symptoms of concern that caused Corporal Cunningham to go for the doctor, who then accompanied him to the police station to see the boy. On arrival, the doctor found that he was suffering from acute pneumonia and at once prescribed for him. The patient's temperature at that time was lO4. Both constables being out of town on police duty, the corporal was unable to devote the time he would have wished to the boy. Instead, he engaged a man named Donovan to attend to him. Tommy was never left alone. The corporal stayed with him two nights and Donovan the other three. Doctor Crooke visited him daily, sometimes on two or three occasions. The boy showed no sign of improvement from the time he took to his bed and was delirious almost continuously until his death in the presence of Corporal Cunningham, Constable Douglas and Donovan, the assistant. Tommy had been with Corporal Cunningham for over seven years. He was with him at Derby and during the corporal's residence there accompanied him on many a trying expedition. Corporal Cunningham considered the deceased one of the best trackers in the State. On notice of his transfer to Lawlers, Corporal Cunningham applied to take his tracker with him but it took further negotiations with the Commissioner of Police, gave orders for the boy to be sent on and paid all expenses incurred in his transference. Tommy is buried in Plot 9 at Lawlers Cemetery.
