'On the 1st instant the dead body of a man, named Thomas Wellsmore, was found in a gully near Cooma. It appears that he left his home on the 21st June, and was seen near home on that day. Mr H. Dawson, coroner, held an inquest on the remains on Monday last, the verdict of the jury being 'that Thomas Wellsmore came to his death by rupture of the heart; that there was no evidence to show on what day he died. A cheque for £8, and a bank deposit receipt for £ 04, were found on the body'. Sydney Morning Herald, 12 July 1876.
