  • 16 Mar 1923: BENEFIT UNDER MOTHER'S WILL. Son Cannot be Found.
    Before Mr. Justice Weigall, in the Practice Court yesterday, the Equity Trustees, Executors and Agency Company Limited, for whom Mr Walker (instructed by Messrs Leach and Thomson) appeared, applied for permission to administer the estate of Rachael McDonald, a widow, late of Beaconsfield, who died in December, 1919, leaving personal property valued at £2,616 to her two sons, John Neville McDonald, and Duncan McDonald. Mr. Kelly (instructed, by the curator of intestate estates) appeared to oppose the application.
    Mr. Walker said that before her death testatrix lived with her brother, Samuel Neville, a bachelor. One of her sons, John Neville McDonald, died in the Alfred Hospital in March, 1915. The other son, Duncan McDonald, went to live in America about 14 years ago. He communicated with his mother up to the time of her death. On January 8, 1920, Samuel Neville, who had since died, wrote to Duncan McDonald, informing him that his mother had died. The letter was returned unclaimed. Attempts to discover the whereabouts of the missing son by advertisements were unsuccessful. None of his relatives in Victoria had any knowledge of his whereabouts.
    After hearing argument Mr. Justice Weigall decided that the estate should be administered by the curator of intestate estates.13

    On Saturday, 22nd September, the death occurred of Mr. John Mulcahy, one of the oldest identities of the Pakenham district. Born in Pakenham about 78 years ago, he had been a resident for that long period, and had been keenly interested in and associated with the progress and development of his birthplace.

He will be sadly missed from his accustomed place in the church.

The remains were conveyed to St. Patrick's Church, where prayers were recited by Rev. H. Lynch, assisted by Rev. .J. S.

Kelly, and R. Webster (Pakenham). Mr. Mulcahy left a widow and three daughters to mourn the loss of a kind husband and devoted father. R.I.P.10
