DEATH OF A BANDMASTER.
The local Salvation Army have sustained a great loss by the death of Mr. David Ashe (second youngest son of Mr. Richard Ashe, of Kemp-street, Granville. He was deputy bandmaster, and a man of upright and sterling character respected by all, and a capable musician whose place It will be hard to fill. Two weeks ago he was caught in the belting of the machinery where he worked, his left arm being, broken in two parts. Lockjaw set in, and tho young man passed peacefully away In St. Joseph's Hospital on Monday. On Tuesday the remains were laid to rest at Rookwood, leaving his father's residence. The cortege was a very long one, some 300 persons attending at the grave. Tho Salvation Army was well represented from the district',' and the band was made up from Parramatta, Auburn, Granvllle and Petersham. The Orange Lodges marched in regalia, their' service being conducted by Chaplain Wm, Bruce, 'and the Army service by Colonel Blrkcnshaw. Deepest sympathy Is expressed with the parents, as it 'is only a 'little over nine months since thelr youngest daughter, a bright girl of 16 years, was laid. to rest. The funeral arrangements 'were admirably carried out by Mr. Wm. Metcalfe. A memorial service will be conducted in' the local barracks next Sunday night.
