From The Irwin Index newspaper, Saturday 26 November 1932:
Obituary - Mr Hughie McNeil - A Useful Life Ended  (From our Arrino correspondent)
"Quite a gloom was cast over the district on Tuesday last when it became known that Mr H. A. F. McNeil, an old and respected citizen, had passed away at a late hour on Monday night. With his wife and family, the late Mr McNeil came to the Arrino district from Dalwallinu some seven years ago, and during that time he has been engaged in farming pursuits at his well known property at "York Valley". He was born at Raywood (Victoria), but came to the Dalwallinu district when quite a young man, and taking up land there, he was one of the pioneers of the district. Although a comparatively young man, being only in his 49^th  year, the lat Mr McNeil had been in a failing state of health for the past nine years and when the end came it was not entirely unexpected. He was admitted to the North Midlands District Hospital at Three Springs on Saturday night, and although everything possible was done by Dr Mayrhofer and the nursing staff, his condition steadily became worse. On Monday night it was realised that he was almost beyond all human aid and his wife and family were summoned. Soon afterwards his long, weary suffering gave place to a sweet state of unconsciousness. Just a little later, while his wife and daughter (Annie) were at his bedside as he lingered on the border of life and death, he passed peacefully away. Thus ended a life which had been full of usefulness and success, the late Mr McNeil always taking a keen interest in the district and its affairs. As a young man he was a notable athlete and footballer, a large collection of medals and trophies strongly testifying to his successes in this direction. During late years he has been one of the keenest supporters of the sport in this district. On Wednesday afternoon the Anglican Church at Three Springs was taxed to its fullest capacity when the Rev. Chard conducted a short service. Those present joined in singing the beautiful hymns "Abide With Me" and "Peace, Perfect Peace", Miss B. Fogarty presiding at the organ. After the service, about thirty cars followed the remains of a highly respected friend to the Three Springs cemetery, where they were interred in the Anglican section, the Rev. Chard officiating at the graveside. The chief mourners were: Mrs McNeil (widow), Annie, Ethel, Phyllis, and Doris (daughters), Norman and Thomas McNeil (sons), and Messrs C. & S. McNeil (Dalwallinu), brothers of the deceased, Mr C. McNeil and his son Reg made the journey from Dalwallinu to be present, but Mr J. S. McNeil was unable to be present on account of ill-health. The pall-bearers were Messrs H. G. Townsend (Arrino Race Club and North Midlands Football Association), C. Maley (Arrino P.P.A. and Hall  Committee), W. J. Turner (Three Springs Road Board and Arrino Tennis Club), J. R. Sheppard (Dudawa), John McCagh (Arrino), R. Laffan (Carnamah) and V. Ferguson. Many beautiful floral tributes were laid upon the grave, including those from the following: Mrs McNeil and family, chairman and members and secretary of the Three Springs Road Board, Mr & Mrs John Turner and Mr John McCagh, Mr and Mrs Walters and family, matron and staff of North Midlands District Hospital, Dr Mayrhofer and Miss A. Byrne, Mr & Mrs S. Stokes and family, Mr & Mrs E. Hart and family, Mr & Mrs Black and family, Mr & Mrs R. Shaw, Mrs Angle, Arrino Wheat Lumpers, Mr & Mrs C. Maley and family, Mr & Mrs A. Hunter, Mrs S. J. Howard and family, Mr & Mrs J. R. Sheppard and family, Mrs E. T. Turner and Miss Carol, Mr & Mrs E. Pearce, Mr E. Pearce jun, Mr & Mrs Tunbridge and family. All those above mentioned were present at the cemetery, and in addition the following were also at the graveside: - Mr O. S. Sowerby, Mr  R. Shaw (E. S. and A. Bank), H. Barnett (North Midlands Co-Operative Co Ltd), C. S. McDonald (National Bank), A. R. Barr ("Irwin Index"), Mr & Mrs Tunbridge, Mrs Lewis, Mr A.E. Saggers, Mr W. Howard, Mr and Mrs W. A.
