He had been a resident of Wagga and district for over 50 years After his retirement from the position of stock inspector in 1922, he still kept an active interest in the affairs of the district, and was a familiar figure riding his bicycle in the streets of Wagga up to a week before his death. He suddenly became ill on Wednesday night, and died at 4 o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. Lyne was a very old member of the Riverine Club, Wagga, and was held in high esteem by all who knew him.
