Biography

Whilst driving on the Goongarrie - Davyhurst road, the deceased fell under the wheel of the cart in the vicinity of the Half-way Hotel and sustained painful injuries to the lower part of his body. He died in great agony at the Davyhurst Hospital some seven hours later. The post mortem revealed a rupture of the liver and spleen, followed by heart failure from haemorrhage. His father was the former publican at Ularring. Young Mr Lichberg left an estate valued at £171 14s 7d to Augustus Richard Lichberg. Just 11 years older than Cecil, it is not known if Augustus was an older brother or other relative such as uncle. The deceased had spent 14 years in New South Wales before moving to Western Australia.
