OBITUARY MR. ROBERT DANIEL FRENCH An old identity of the Tumut and Brungle districts passed away in a Sydney hospital on November 7 in the person of Mr. Robert Daniel French, at the age of 90 years. Deceased, who was the last of a family of eight, was a son of the late Mr. William French, of Bungle, the first white child born at that centre. Mr. Robert French carried on his father's property 'Oakview', on the latter's death, and as time went on extended the original area of 40 acres by another 3000 acres. The late Mr. French was twice married. His first wife was Miss Martha Kell, of Lacmalac. who predeceased him.

Young, Mittagong). One son Willie died in infancy. There are also nine grandchildren and nine great grandchildren surviving. The only grandson carrying the name of French, Herbert, died three years ago. In 1920 Mr. French sold his Brungle property where he had lived all his life and went to Cootamundra to reside.

If you find errors - anything incorrect (dates, places, wrong parents, wrong children), and you have evidence, I would love to fix them. Or, if you have information that would extend my projects, do not hestiate to contact me on the email link below. I do not publish information on living people - which means I'm not much interested in people born after about 1920, and I usually distrust material from before about 1770 without extremely good sources. g.bell@bigpond.net.au When you click the mail address abouve, if it does not open your email app, copy the address on the screen.
