The late Mr. George Pattison had resided with his son Timothy, at Posey Point, since 1910. Six weeks ago he was admitted to Holborne Hospital, Wagga, suffering with a weak heart. He left hospital on Friday and was spending a few days wit his daughter, Mrs. W. O'Connor, prior to returning to Collingullie. He went for a walk accompanied by his little granddaughter, and his medical advisor stated his heart failed and he collapsed into the water in which he was later found. He was born in Melbourne and was a son of the later Wm Pattison, of Moonee Ponds. He married Miss Mary O'Brien of Kailla, where he has been engaged in farming pursuits until 1913. He had been a devoted memeber of the catholic church and his quiet and unassuming manner had endeared him to a large circle of friends and neighbours by whom he was held in the highest respect - Wagga "Daily Advertiser". George is buried at Wagga Cemetery.
