Article* | 27 December 1879 | "The Sydney Morning Herald", Sydney, NSW; The Dubbo Dispatch reports that, on Tuesday afternoon, as Mr. G. Morris, brother of Mr. Grant Morris, of Piere Pere, was engaged in cutting out cattle on that run, a weaner crossed his track, and a collision ensued, by which he was thrown from his saddle with violence to the ground, his horse rolling over him. When picked up by the two men who were with him, he was quite insensible, and a cart had to be procured to convey him to the station; subsequently he was brought into Coonamble for medical aid, but during the journey, of over 50 miles, he never recovered his consciousness. The unfortunate gentleman lingered through the day, but he never spoke until his death, which occurred about 10 p.m. the same day. Mr. Morris has left a widow and six children.9 |
