Biography

Died about 28 January 1906 Previously, he had been employed at the Princess Alix Mine at Murrin and left his camp in late January, 1906, presumably to go out prospecting. When he failed to return, a search party was organised, numbering about 40 - with no success. The police were informed and Constable Woolf and a black tracker left to conduct a search. His highly decomposed body was found by a shooter 22 September that year about 14 miles north-west of Murrin and two miles from the Federation Well. It was identified by the hat and clothes.
