• Notes

  OBITUARY We regret to announce the death of an old and respected resident, in the person of Mr. Thomas Oakley, which took place on Friday last after a comparatively brief illness. The deceased was a resident for upwards of a half a century, and was well known throughout the district. He was very industrious, and continued to be remarkably active when men of his years are usually laid aside by weakness and the infirmities of age. He followed public affairs with keen intelligence, and exercised the franchise on all occasions as a citizen's highest duty. He possessed musical talents, and was regarded as a master of the concertina and accordion. He leaves two sons (Charles and Horace) and one daughter (Mrs. A. Vickery.) Source: Portland Observer and Normanby Advertiser, Victoria, Monday 17 Jun 1918, Page 2. OBITUARY On Friday morning last, at the Portland Hospital, there passed beyond the vale a well known Portlander in the person of Mr Thomas Oakley. The deceased, who landed in Portland by the ship Frances Henty in 1862 had attained the age of 77 years. As an industrious steady member of the community, and as one who spent the greater port of his life here, Mr Oakley was well known and highly respected. The funeral yesterday was very largely attended. Source: Portland Guardian, Victoria, Monday 17 Jun 1918, Page 2.
