The death took place last Thursday in the Alfred Hospital, Melboune, of Mr. Ray Reid, son of Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Reid of Boolarra South. As we stated last week, Ray (known as Sam to many), had been operated on a fortnight earlier for a tumour on the brain. A few days before he passed away. his father received word that the patient was doing well, although still in a serious state, and the family got a big shock when they were notified that death had taken place. The young man since a lad had had trouble in the head, and about 14 years ago was in St. Vincent's Hospital under treatment. but the surgeon there would not operate, as the case was too critical. Ray then returned home and until lately appeared to be in sound health, and it was hoped the trouble had passed away. However, such was not so. and some weeks ago he had to return to Melbourne to under go treatment, and finally went under the operation from which he did not recover.
Deceased was a very highly respected young man, and was a most industrious worker. It is only a short time ago since he left the employ of Mr. T. Bollard. Mirboo North, after working for him for about 21 years.
The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon, the remains being interred in the Mirboo North cemetery. A large number paid their last respects to the young man, and there were several handsome wreaths placed on the grave. Rev. N. A. Holdsworth conducted the service at the graveside.[1]
