Thomas Murrin -
We were indeed sorry to hear of the death of one of our classmates on Monday of this week. Tom Murrin was only forty, married, and with five children. He was indeed a splendid chap, a good worker, quiet, friendly, moderate and likeable. Although a severe malady struck about two years ago, Tom was ever cheerful, and there must have been many times when he had reasons not to be. But Tom was like that, even if he were fighting a losing battle. To his widow, his children, his father and step-mother (Mr. and Mrs. John Murrin), his sister, Dorothy (Mrs. Gordon Hindy), his stepsister, Daphne (Mrs. Ray Dooley) and to his stepbrother, Lorneo, we offer sincere and heartfelt sympathy.
May his soul, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

All the graves their dead restore;
Father, sister, child and mother
Meet once more."
