With lonely old graves where departed souls sleep,
Where a merciful god a vigil must keep
Till the trumpet is heard on that final last day
Let us never disturb them, just leave them that way.

On Monday October, 30th, Mr Arthur Nicholas Kewley, aged 33, died from consumption. Mr. Kewley was a recent arrival, being only two months on the field, and during that time he was staying with his sister, Mrs. A. Ireland, who attended to him. Mr. Kewley was well known in Fremantle and Northam. In the latter place, he was in business as a tinsmith. He took a great interest in sport and gained the esteem of those with whom he came into contact. The funeral, which took place on Tuesday, was largely attended. Lake Way has a record, as this is only the second death since the place was first formed.
