EDWARD FALLON OF ALBURY
Another respected colonist has passed over to the majority. On Friday week Mr. Edward Fallon, who for some time past has been suffering from an illness his recovery from which was never hopeful, died at his residence in David-street, Albury.
The deceased was a brother of Mr. P. E. Fallon and of the late Mr. James T. Fallon. He came to the colony in 1854 with Mr. P. E. Fallon, and for two years assisted him in the conduct of a general store at Yackandandah. Mr. P.E. Fallon then went to Albury in order to help in the management of the business of the late Mr. J. T. Fallon, which at this time had assumed large dimensions.
Mr. Edward Fallon continued at Yackandandah for four years longer and then removed to the Indigo Creek. He subsequently acquired a considerable property— some 2000 acres— at Barnawartha, where he remained for many years engaged in pastoral and agricultural pursuits.
During this time he was for a considerable period a member of the Yackandandah Shire Council. About five years ago he sold his Barnawartha estate to Mr. Conolly of Beechworth, and has ever since resided in Albury.
Mr. Fallon, beyond his service as a shire councillor, did not take an active interest in public matters, but as a private citizen he was deservedly popular. He was a man of strict integrity and genial disposition, a great favourite with all old residents of the district with which he had so long been associated.
He was a native of Athlone, Co. Roscommon, and 77 years of age. On Sunday night (says our Albury contemporary) the remains were removed to St. Patrick's Church, where Mass was celebrated on Monday morning.
The same afternoon the funeral took place in the Albury cemetery, the clergy present including the Very Rev. P. Dunne, V.G., and Fathers Fallon, Lane, Gaffey, Cowley, and Hickey. The funeral cortege was a very lengthy one. The deceased leaves two sons and two daughters.
