"Late Mr. E. J. Duffy - Death at Three Springs - A Valuable Citizen. After a long illness Mr. Edward James Duffy passed peacefully away at his home in Railway Parade, Three Springs, on Thursday morning at the age of 61 years. The deceased, who with his wife and son (Edward) came to Three Springs and commenced business in 1914, has been closely associated with the many activities in connection with the district's progress. He took a keen and prominent part in sporting and social life. For his work for the old Progress Association and his aims and achievements, and also his work for the Three Springs Football Club Mr. Duffy will ever be remembered as a valuable citizen. The deceased was born in Stawell, Victoria, but lived in Western Australia the greater portion of his life. A severe attack of pleurisy necessitated Mr. Duffy's removal to hospital several weeks ago and although he showed some improvement when discharged little hope was held for his recovery owing to severe pulmonary troubles, this being the third time Mr. Duffy had been seized with an attack of pleurisy. His sister, Miss E. Duffy, of Stawell, who was in Kalgoorlie at the time, was sent for. Throughout Wednesday night Mr. Duffy gradually became weaker and passed peacefully away in the presence of his wife, son and sister at about 9 o'clock on Thursday morning. Requiem Mass will be held at the Roman Catholic Church at 9 a.m. this Saturday morning, and the funeral is expected to leave the church this morning at 10 o'clock for the Roman Catholic portion of the cemetery where the Rev. Father M. Lynch will perform the last rites."

"Late Mr. E. J. Duffy - Death at Three Springs - A Valuable Citizen. After a long illness Mr. Edward James Duffy passed peacefully away at his home in Railway Parade, Three Springs, on Thursday morning at the age of 61 years. The deceased, who with his wife and son (Edward) came to Three Springs and commenced business in 1914, has been closely associated with the many activities in connection with the district's progress. He took a keen and prominent part in sporting and social life. For his work for the old Progress Association and his aims and achievements, and also his work for the Three Springs Football Club Mr. Duffy will ever be remembered as a valuable citizen. The deceased was born in Stawell, Victoria, but lived in Western Australia the greater portion of his life. A severe attack of pleurisy necessitated Mr. Duffy's removal to hospital several weeks ago and although he showed some improvement when discharged little hope was held for his recovery owing to severe pulmonary troubles, this being the third time Mr. Duffy had been seized with an attack of pleurisy. His sister, Miss E. Duffy, of Stawell, who was in Kalgoorlie at the time, was sent for. Throughout Wednesday night Mr. Duffy gradually became weaker and passed peacefully away in the presence of his wife, son and sister at about 9 o'clock on Thursday morning. Requiem Mass will be held at the Roman Catholic Church at 9 a.m. this Saturday morning, and the funeral is expected to leave the church this morning at 10 o'clock for the Roman Catholic portion of the cemetery where the Rev. Father M. Lynch will perform the last rites."
