  • 27 Nov 1946: Death Of Well-known Clyde Nth. And Harkaway Identity
    WE REGRET to record the death, at the Melbourne Hospital on November 21st, of Mr. Richard Daniel Gordon —better known as “Dick” —a popular and beloved identity of the Harkaway and Clyde Nth. districts for many years. Deceased, who was with Sister Jager and Mrs. Potter at both centres, was a very valued adviser and friend to them both. He had been ill for some time and had to undergo a serious operation at the Melbourne Hospital on November 18th. Unfortunately he failed to rally and three days later the end came. Many will mourn this loveable old character whom so many were proud to call friend. His remains were privately interred in the family grave at Cheltenham on Friday.11
