Biography

Unknown male died of typhoid. The Hon, Mrs Candy was interviewed by the West Australian newspaper of 03 May 1894, stating: "I saw the hospital. There were thirteen men in it, and just before my arrival three men had died from typhoid-one, who had not been in the hospital, through sheer neglect."
Comments:There are two deaths recorded in 1894 of males simply known as Marcus and Antonio, one aged 40 years, one aged 30 years. The death registrations are consecutively numbered 390 and 391, which looks curiously as if they could be these two gentlemen.
