Dubbo Liberal 23rd October 1914
Death has claimed another victim at Eumungerie in the person of Mrs. J. Foster, sen., a highly respected resident of the town. The late Mr. Foster was stricken down with a paralytic stroke on last Tuesday evening. Dr. Burkitt was summoned, but at once it was evident that the case was very serious, and little hope was entertained for recovery. In spite of careful attention the end came on Sunday morning. To the grief-stricken husband and family a large circle of friends extend most sincere sympathy. The remains were interred in the Gilgandra cemetery yesterday afternoon.

Thomas Furney 1934
One by one, the old pioneers of the Dubbo district are passing on. Another link with the past was snapped in Sydney on Friday, when Thomas Furney (father of Mr. Alf Furney, of Gilgandra, who first came to Dubbo in 1863, went to his rest. The late Mr. Furney was associated with Dubbo while the town was still in its swaddling clothes. Born in Ireland in 1849, he came to Dubbo when the embryo city of today was only a small settlement of isolated dwellings. Many a time had he told his friends of the days when he used to shoot ducks on a reed-covered swamp, which extended along Talbragar Street, and over the land where the Court House now stands. He did well in the town, and acquired a large area of country in its environs, but it passed to others as the years went by. He eventually settled down at Eumungerie, where he carried on business as a saddler, until he retired about five years ago, and went to live in Sydney. A fine type of man. and one who made many friends, the deceased was generally liked, and the news of his death will be learned with regret. His wife predeceased him four years ago, but he is survived by two daughters and five sons. The daughters are: Mrs A. S. Enderby (Dubbo) and Mrs. W. Kennedy  (Ashfield), and the sons George (Sydney) Alfred Gilgandra), Ernest (Sydney), and William (Dubbo). The body was taken to Dubbo on Saturday and then to Holy Trinity Church, the funeral leaving for the Church of England portion oi the cemetery at 2 p.m. on Saturday afternoon.

Walter Farragher 1910
Mr. Walter Thomas Farragher, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Farragher, of Eumungerie, died on Thursday night last as the result of pneumonia supervening upon measles. Measles were in the house, and on Monday deceased was well, but in the evening he developed symptoms of the same disorder, and rapidly became worse, so that on Wednesday medical aid was sought, and the following afternoon he was removed to the hospital but died the same evening. Deceased was only 21, and his parents will have many sympathisers in their loss. Interment took place on Saturday in the Church of England portion of the cemetery, the Rev. C. W. Leavers conducting the service.
