We regret to have to announce to-day the death of Mr J. H. Dodson, fourth son of Mr George Dodson, of Spring Creek. The deceased was attacked with that terrible disease diptheria, and had only been ill for nine days, and died yesterday afternoon at the early age of 29 years. The late Mr Dodson was a married man and leaves a widow and two children, and much sympathy is expressed for this unfortunate family, as no less than four deaths have occurred within a few weeks.^[5]
