Profound regret was occasioned at Sebastopol this (Friday) morning, when it became known that a well-known young man, named Arthur Samuels, was dead. The sad event took place at a small township near Horsham, where the deceased young man was engaged as head teacher of a State school. He has since his childhood until about 11 months ago resident at Sebastopol, when he left for the purpose of occupying his late position. He was formerly assistant of the Redan State school, at which place be was greatly liked, and was on his departure presented by Mr L. Whyte with a neat present as a token of his regard. In local musical circles the late young man was well-known and had on several occasions displayed great aptitude as a leader. He was leader of the local Baptist Church choir, and his efficiency as such won for him the respect and regard for all connected therewith. He was also secretary of the local Good Templars’ Lodge, and to his untiring energy prior to his departure was the success of the lodge meetings often attributable. The interest taken by him in the Juvenile Lodge won for him the love of the members. The cause of death was typhoid fever, from which he suffered for about three weeks. His remains will be buried in the Horsham Cemetery on Sunday next."
