Deceased, who was born at Tumut 71 years ago, was the sixth son of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Carr. On completion of his schooling he was apprenticed to the late Mr. Robert Joyce in the building trade and in that capacity worked on most of the principal buildings in Tumut and Cootamundra and also in towns in the Irrigation Area.
