Queenstown Free Press – 1888 – July - September http://www.eggsa.org/newspapers/index.php/queenstown-free-press/956... Written by Sunelia Heath Tuesday July 10, 1888 OBITUARY - That grim master "Death" has been rather busy in our midst during the past ten days, and on Saturday morning last claimed for its victim Mr Leonard WIGGILL, a farmer of Bongolo, who died in town at Mr JAMIESON's residence. He was a young man of about 30 years of age. We are informed he had suffered for some time from Asthma and Congestion of the Lungs, and on the top of all this he was attacked by the measles, which with the other complaints, proved fatal. He was interred in the Cemetery on Sunday afternoon and the remains was followed by a large concourse of people. He leaves a wife and three young children to mourn his loss, to whom we tender our condolence and sympathy in their very sad bereavement. The Rev. RITCHIE, Scotch Church, officiated at the grave.
