Edwin Stanley Dusting (1891–1963)

More than 200 people attended a memorial service at the Methodist Memorial Church, Canberra yesterday for the late Edwin Slanley Dusting, of Forrest, who died suddenly in Perth on September 18.

Mr. Dusting died while on holidays with his daughter, Mrs. Beth Doust, of Perth.

The cremation service was conducted in Perth last Friday by the Rev. Harold Cox, former minister at the Reid Methodist Church.
