Bendigo Advertiser Victoria -3 March 1899, page 2
A SAD DEATH.—On Wednesday last, Mr. E. Craddock, an old resident of Golden Square, received the sad news of the death of his third son John, aged 23, from heat and exhaustion in Western Australia, where he had been for the last three years. The deceased left a place called Nannine on his bicycle to convey a message to a party of prospectors at Burakoona, about 14 miles distant, and neglected the precaution of taking a supply of water with him. The following day a hawker found the deceased lying in an exhausted condition by the side of his bicycle, both tires of which were punctured.

When found he was lying in the full glare of a scorching sun and had lost his hat. Being unable to take a drink, some water was poured on his face, which revived him sufficiently to say that he came from Bendigo, and was dying. He was then conveyed by the carter to a camp called Stakewell, where he received every attention from Mrs. L. Leitch (a former resident of Bendigo, with whom he was acquainted), but without avail, as he expired shortly after being brought in.
The next day his remains were interred in the cemetery at Nannine, the funeral being, attended by a large number of residents, and the manager and men of the mine where he had been employed. It is surmised that the young man had missed the track and perished from heat and exhaustion, as the body was found on a side track which is generally avoided by travellers on account of the scarcity of water. The deceased was well-liked and respected by all those with whom he came in contact, and was a member of the Laurel Tent I.O.R. Lodge. Much sympathy is felt for his parents and family in their sad and unexpected bereavement. What makes the case more pathetic is that the news of the occurrence was received on the day of his brother's marriage to a young lady at Geelong.
