Late Mr J P Carson Harly Associations With Geraldton
The death occurred during the night of Wednesday last of an old North-West and Murchison identity in the person of Mr. James Patrick Carson. He lived at Chaldton since last year and was found dead Thursday morning after apparently mourning through the previous night. He was about 78, son of the late Mr. James Curran, associated with Imperial Forces in Western Australia. He worked in building trades, helped bail Mt. Gould police station, built homestead and sheds for Noongermurra and Merringarri, and later mined with Mr. G. Rowe in Marble Bar and the Murchison. He claimed to have formed gold on the Murchison and shared memories of early Geraldton days. Survived by two sisters and two brothers, a married son and daughter in Perth. Funeral was Friday, with interment at Dunkarra Catholic cemetery. The obituary lists many Meadowcroft relatives and friends as mourners and pallbearers.
