The death occurred yesterday of Mr Henry Hannington, one of the very oldest pioneers of the district, at his residence at the corner of Crompton and Gregory streets. The deceased was a native of Derry, Ireland, and had been on what is now Ballarat in 1844. At that time he was driving a team of bul locks for Mr Duncan Cameron, of Pasive Vale, from his station. Mr Hannington finished his duty, and delivered the cattle, and visited the Ballarat district in 1845. He was sub sequently with Mr Edward Parker, the pro tector of the blacks at Jim Crow Creek (Daylesford). For many years deceased has been a resident of Ballarat, and he had reached the ripe age of 73 when his death occurred as stated. The flag at the Old Colonists’ Hall was yesterday flying half mast. The remains of the late Mr William M'Hutchison were interred in the Ballarat New Cemetery on Sunday afternoon, when the respect in which deceased was held was manifested by the large number who joined in the funeral procession. The service at the house was conducted by Mr Charles Morris, of Bridge street, while the burial service was read by a member of the Disciples of Christ. The mortuary arrangements were carried out by Mr C. Morris.[4]
