Henry Buttsworth (1822–1900)

We have this week to report the death of a very old and respected resident of Currency Creek, in the person of Mr. Henry Buttsworth, which event took place on Friday last. Deceased had been ill for a long time, and at the time of his death was 78 years of age. He was a native of the district, and had resided here nearly all his life.

Newton conducted the funeral service, and Mr. E. W. Dunstan carried out the funeral arrangements.
