Obituary - Mr Hughie McNeil - A Useful Life Ended (From our Arrino correspondent)
"Quite a gloom was cast over the district on Tuesday last when it became known that Mr H. A. F. McNeil, an old and respected citizen, had passed away at a late hour on Monday night. With his wife and family, the late Mr McNeil came to the Arrino district from Dalwallinu some seven years ago, and during that time he has been engaged in farming pursuits at his well known property at "York Valley". He was born at Raywood (Victoria), but came to the Dalwallinu district when quite a young man, and taking up land there, he was one of the pioneers of the district. Although a comparatively young man, being only in his 49th year, the lat Mr McNeil had been in a failing state of health for the past nine years and when the end came it was not entirely unexpected. He was admitted to the North Midlands District Hospital at Three Springs on Saturday night, and although everything possible was done by Dr Mayrhofer and the nursing staff, his condition steadily became worse. On Monday night it was realised that he was almost beyond all human aid and his wife and family were summoned. Soon afterwards his long, weary suffering gave place to a sweet state of unconsciousness. Just a little later, while his wife and daughter (Annie) were at his bedside as he lingered on the border of life and death, he passed peacefully away. Thus ended a life which had been full of usefulness and success, the late Mr McNeil always taking a keen interest in the district and its affairs. As a young man he was a notable athlete and footballer, a large collection of medals and trophies strongly testifying to his successes in this direction. During late years he has been one of the keenest supporters of the sport in this district. On Wednesday afternoon the Anglican Church at Three Springs was taxed to its fullest capacity when the Rev. Chard conducted a short service. Those present joined in singing the beautiful hymns "Abide With Me" and "Peace, Perfect Peace", Miss B. Fogarty presiding at the organ. After the service, about thirty cars followed the remains of a highly respected friend to the Three Springs cemetery, where they were interred in the Anglican section, the Rev. Chard officiating at the graveside. The chief mourners were: Mrs McNeil (widow), Annie, Ethel, Phyllis, and Doris (daughters), Norman and Thomas McNeil (sons), and Messrs C. & S. McNeil (Dalwallinu), brothers of the deceased, Mr C. McNeil and his son Reg made the journey from Dalwallinu to be present, but Mr J. S. McNeil was unable to be present on account of ill-health. The pall-bearers were Messrs H. G. Townsend (Arrino Race Club and North Midlands Football Association), C. Maley (Arrino P.P.A. and Hall Committee), W. J. Turner (Three Springs Road Board and Arrino Tennis Club), J. R. Sheppard (Dudawa), John McCagh (Arrino), R. Laffan (Carnamah) and V. Ferguson. Many beautiful floral tributes were laid upon the grave, including those from the following: Mrs McNeil and family, chairman and members and secretary of the Three Springs Road Board, Mr & Mrs John Turner and Mr John McCagh, Mr and Mrs Walters and family, matron and staff of North Midlands District Hospital, Dr Mayrhofer and Miss A. Byrne, Mr & Mrs S. Stokes and family, Mr & Mrs E. Hart and family, Mr & Mrs Black and family, Mr & Mrs R. Shaw, Mrs Angle, Arrino Wheat Lumpers, Mr & Mrs C. Maley and family, Mr & Mrs A. Hunter, Mrs S. J. Howard and family, Mr & Mrs J. R. Sheppard and family, Mrs E. T. Turner and Miss Carol, Mr & Mrs E. Pearce, Mr E. Pearce jun, Mr & Mrs Tunbridge and family. All those above mentioned were present at the cemetery, and in addition the following were also at the graveside: - Mr O. S. Sowerby, Mr R. Shaw (E. S. and A. Bank), H. Barnett (North Midlands Co-Operative Co Ltd), C. S. McDonald (National Bank), A. R. Barr ("Irwin Index"), Mr & Mrs Tunbridge, Mrs Lewis, Mr A.E. Saggers, Mr W. Howard, Mr and Mrs W. A. Rogers and Miss R. Rogers, R. Barnhart, T. Young, W. Mutter, E. K. Byrne, L. S. Lloyd, Mr A. A. Smith, Miss S. Stacey, Mr & Mrs N. E. Stokes, Mr V. Stokes, W. H. Cousins, A. H. Cousins, A Cousins Miss Eunice Cousins, R. W. Connolly, Misses Alice and Elvie Connolly, D. Ferguson, A. & W. Durack, Mrs Bowtell and family, Mrs Lewis, Rev. S. Lewis, H. J. W. Sweetman,, C. Dodd, J.

S. Smith and H. C. Stacey. During the afternoon many of the business houses of Arrino and three Springs closed their doors as a mark of respect to the late Mr McNeil and his family. Mr I. Wallace had charge of the funeral arrangements."
From The Carnamah-Three Springs Times & Arrino Advertiser newspaper, Friday 2 December 1932:
"Death at Three Springs - On November 28th, Mr. H. A. F. McNeill, who has been farming at York Valley in the Arrino district for the past seven years, died at the Three Springs District Hospital at the age of 49 years, after a long illness.

The deceased was the son of Mr. and Mrs. S. Morgan, who own a farming property a few miles from the town. The accident occurred about six o'clock in the morning. The young man had gone out on his pony, riding with only a bridle and no saddle, to bring in the team horses. When attempting to mount his horse while he was doing this he fell on his head. He felt all aright, however, and was bale to bring in the horses and feed them. Mr. Morgan, on returning to the house, mentioned to his mother that he had had a fall, but it was not till later that he began to feel any ill effect. On his condition becoming worse Dr. Mayrhofer was summoned and the injured man was taken in the Three Springs hospital. Here he passed away shortly after midday through haemorrhage resulting from a fracture of the skull above the right temple. The deceased, who was a prominent member of the Three Springs football team, was the eldest boy of the family, and he and his sisters have been frequent visitors at Carnamah dances. The funeral will take place this (Friday) afternoon at 3 p.m."

His mother a real battler moved to Dongara for several years, thence to Fremantle and Perth, where he grew to manhood. Returning to the district he worked for some time on Mr T. R.

Going to Three Springs with the early rush he quickly made good and was always conceded the most useful and respected citizen of that thriving centre. Living usefully and unselfishly he has left an enduring monument to his memory."
