OBITUARY. It will be seen with deep regret from a telegram appearing elsewhere that Dr. Heuston, Resident Magistrate and Medical Officer at Derby, died January 6, after a very brief illness. Dr. Heuston arrived in the colony in 1886, and was shortly afterwards appointed Resident Magistrate and Medical Officer for the Murray District. He was transferred from there to the Vasse in the same capacities, and but a few months ago received the more important appointment at Derby. Dr. Heuston, who leaves a widow and several young children, was highly popular and respected wherever he was stationed in the colony.

OBITUARY. MR BENJAMIN TYDD HEUSTON. We have sadly to record the death of Mr Benjamin Tydd Heuston, L.RC.S.E. and L.R.C.P.E., of Derby, Western Australia. He was a native of Tipperary, and possessed many of the finer and attractive characteristics of an Irish gentleman. From 1867-71 he was a well-known and favourite College of Surgeons man, enthusiastic and impetuous in work as well as fun. After gaining some experience in general practice in this country, he joined the Colonial Medical Service, and for six years was stationed in the Falkland Islands. After a short furlough he was transferred to Western Australia, where his energy and abilities had wider scope. From Bussleton he was soon removed to Pinjarah, where he received the additional appointment of Resident Magistrate. His active habits and sound judgment attracted the attention of the Premier, who urged upon him to take the higher appointment at Derby. He had held this post for only fifteen months, when a useful and prosperous career was suddenly cut short by apoplexy. Much sympathy has been manifested for his widow and young family, and it is to be hoped that the Government will grant them some substantial proof of the esteem they held for a valuable public servant.

Death of Spouse: 31 Jan 1927, Cardigan, St. George's-terrace, Perth, Western Australia, Australia
