From The North Midlands Times newspaper, Friday 10 May 1946:
"Obituary - J. M. Haig. A very largely attended funeral was conducted at Winchester Cemetery on Saturday morning, May 4, when the remains of the late John Maurice Haig of Carnamah and Winchester were laid to rest. Deceased who passed peacefully away at the North Midlands Hospital, Three Springs on Thursday last is survived by a widow and four sons and three daughters. The Rev. S. Coxon officiated at the graveside, the chief mourners present being Edward (son), H. Pope, Jnr. and A. C. Bierman (sons in law) and Brian Haig (grandson). The pall bearers were: Messrs J. K. Forrester, E. K. Wells, G. A. Raffan, J. L. Adams, … Bowman, R. D. Gell and W. …..on. The high esteem in which deceased had been held by all with whom he had come in contact, was well voiced by the Rev. Coxon during the course of a very impressive service. The Rev. Coxon considered that the late Mr. Haig had lived the life of a man with very high principles. He had been an inspiration to everyone, and his death was a sad loss to the district. The late Mr. Haig arrived in Sydney in 1880 from England where he was born on August 10, 1859. From there he went to Queensland after which he came to Kalgoorlie. Here he stayed for 12 years as manager of the Golden Link and Eclipse Mines. In 1898 he married Ada Rose Turner of Moralana Station, South Australia. In 1908 he left Kalgoorlie for South Australia where he had purchased a station. He returned to Western Australia in 1926 and took up a farm at Winchester. Of latter years, although still having an interest in the farm, he has been living at Carnamah. Vale one of nature's gentleman."
Note: it is unlikely he arrived in Sydney in 1880 as he was still in England in April 1881
