Kōrero taurongo
- 'Lieut. E. Farnsworth, Masterton'
It is with regret writes our Masterton correspondent, that we learned of the loss of one of our most respected members, Mr E. Farnsworth, who was killed in France on September 12th. He went away in the 9th Reinforcements in No.3, Ambulance Brigade, distinguished himself, and was awarded the Military Medal. Things were apparently too slow in the Ambulance for his pushing disposition, and he joined the Infantry, got his lieutenancy on the field, and did good work after receiving his commission. He was of a genial disposition, and exceedingly good-natured. He was always active at Branch Meetings, and had just completed a term as Chairman before enlisting. It is with deep regret we have to write him off as “Killed in Action.” He leaves behind a widow and one boy aged 7 years. To the widow, the Branch expresses its deepest and lasting sympathy in her sad loss. A letter of sympathy has been sent from the Branch Members.

J. Day, Murrumbeena), Lilly (Mrs. B. Hubbard, Seymour), and Leslie, after 3 years' service, aged 35. New Zealand and Adelaide papers please copy.
(Inserted by his sorrowing mother, father, sisters and brothers, Railway Station, Yarra Glen)
The brother noted as on active service was 50503, Percy George Farnsworth, returned 10 March, 1919. One of the references to the family suggests a sister, Lilly married a brother of Alfred Clarence Hubbard, rather eerily also killed while serving with a New Zealand unit.Public - Brian - Researcher - 27 May 2016 - Death Notice : The Argus : http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/1411998 - Urupā
