Biography

The deceased was buried by H Pegden. Witnesses present at the burial were James Rayner and Police Constable Peter Lynch (Regimental Number 394). His death was certified in writing by his father, John Cain, of Condon. The port of Condon was established to service the pastoral leases such as DeGrey and Muccan Stations. Its population increased when gold was discovered further inland. However, by 1908, Condon was well past its heyday.
