Mr. Phillip McLennan
News of the death of Mr. Philip McLennan, of 'Forest Lodge,' Morundah, in St. Even's Hospital, Melbourne, on Thursday evening, 22nd December, came as a shock to his relatives and many friends in Morundah and Narrandera. He went to Melbourne for treatment only a few days previously.
Mr. McLennan was aged 79 years. He was the youngest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Donald McLennan, of 'Aloe Hill,' Morundah. He was born at Lake Moodsmere, Rutherglen, Victoria, and at the age of 10 came with his parents to Morundab, where he remained until his death - a period of 69 years.
There were few better known or more highly respected residents of Morundah than Phil McLennan. In his younger days he took a very active part in district affairs. He was the first hon. secretary of the Yanko Creek Picnic Race Club (now Morundah Picnic Race Club), and he continued his association with the club up to the time of his death. In recognition of his work on behalf of the Club he was made a life member. He was returning officer at Morundah for 37 years, and was one of the original members of the Morundah Catholic Church.
Mr. McLennan married Miss Minnie Sweeting, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Harry Sweeting, pioneer residents of Corobimilla. He is survived by Mrs. McLennan, four daughters and one son.
