The Tumut and Adelong Times 3 Sep 1940
OBITUARY MR. HARRY LAST The sudden death of Mr. H. J. Last, of "Shaftesbury," Cootamundra, came as a great shock to the town and district. He had been suffering with a heavy cold and went to bed with it on Tuesday last. Pneumonia developed, and on Wednesday morning he was conveyed by ambulance to the Cootamundra District Hospital. The illness, however, proved too severe a strain for his heart, and he passed away at 2.30 on Thursday afternoon. Deceased is survived by his widow, six sons— Cecil, of Muttama; Malcolm, Coolac; Ken, Muttama; and Don. of the Bank of New South Wales at Newcastle; Les. and Eric, and one daughter, Irene. Mr. Albert Last, of Muttama, is a brother, and Mrs. George Clout, of Brungle, is a sister. The late Mr. Last was born at Hillas Creek, in the Gundagai district, and in 1902 he married Miss Elizabeth Lydia Burke, of Wagragobilly, at the Wagragobilly Church. For a long time he owned "Fernhill," Tumut, which property had been selected by his father. In 1933 he sold "Fernhill" and went to Cootamundra, acquiring "Shaftesbury," which is just outside the municipal boundary, on the Wallendbeen road, and he has lived there ever since; and later he also bought "Rawilla," Muttama, from Mr. Keith Richards. As a boy he was a great cricketer, and was renowned for his bowling. He played with both Tumut and Brungle. Always a keen follower of the turf, he raced quite a number of horses, the best of which was Lord Gaby, who won 18 races out of 23 starts in the southern districts. He was a committeeman of the Cootamundra Turf Club and also of the Southern Districts Picnic Race Club. In his younger days he was also a good tennis player, while for a time he played golf. In his later years he took to bowls, and played in Cootamundra's "A"-grade pennant team. He was also a keen member of the Cootamundry Club. Not only was he interested in politics, but he worked hard for the Country Party. Only the week before last he drove to Wagga for the Country Party Electoral Council meeting. Always a football enthusiast, he was at Murrumburrah on August 14 when Cootamundra regained the Maher Cup, and he saw the match between Cootamundra and Temora the following week. The sympathy of the town and district is extended to this well-known family in their loss. |
