  Obituary	15 Aug 1896	Ovens and Murray Advertiser, Beechworth, Victoria
  	Obituary.-The death roll of old district residents has received an addition by the passing away on Wednesday morning of Mr. William Dale, of Wangaratta, who for many years past has been identified with that town and neighborhood, both as a farmer and as the proprietor of an extensive butchering establishment. Mr. Dale was a native of Bathurst, in New South Wales, where he was born on the 10th of February, 1819, so that he was in his 78th year at the time of his death. He was educated at Parramattta, and after passing through an active youthful time he was engaged on a station at Blogalara. In 1852, just before the occurrence of the great flood at Gundagai, he came over to Victoria, bringing with him 75 horses and 127, head of cattle, which he sold in Melbourne to a Mr. Payne, and some idea may be formed of the alteration in values which has since take place when it is mentioned that the price paid for the stock was at the rate of 12s. 6d. per head. Bendigo was just then the great attraction, and thither Mr. Dale, in company with his brother, repaired. They had two very prosperous years, at the end of which Mr. Dale betook himself to Sydney, but did not long remain in the New South Wales metropolis. Coming overland to Victoria he stopped at Wangaratta, and engaged first in cattle dealing and then in farming. He was a purchaser of a farm at Oxley at the first land sale, and built on it a residence for his brother, who subsequently died there. In 1853 Mr. Dale settled in Wangaratta, in the vicinity of which he acquired about a thousand acres, of which he leased some 200 acres, the balance being utilised for grazing purposes in connection with the large butchering business which he successfully carried on in the town. Mr. Dale was married in Sydney to Miss Anne Berringer, and leaves a family of four sons and two daughters, all of whom are married. It will he seen that the life of the deceased was an active and adventurous one. In fact, Mr. Dale was one of the third party who followed Stewart's exploration from Sydney to Hobson's Bay, and we might mention many episodes in his career tending to show the spirit of active, energetic enterprise by which he was animated in his earlier and more vigorous years. Latterly he was attacked by severe illness, and to this he succumbed, after a life full of usefulness, on Wednesday. Deceased was very much respected by all who knew him. For many years he was a member of the Wangaratta Borough Council, and for ten or twelve years was a justice of the peace. He always took an active interest in the welfare of the Wangaratta Turf Club, and other local institutions derived benefit from his support. Nor was it only in temporal and material matters that he found a field for his well directed energy. He was a consistent member of the Church of England, and was one of the guardians of Holy Trinity Church. He was a member of the Masonic body, and in other directions Mr. Dale's death will leave a gap which will not readily be filled. The funeral will take place to-morrow ( Friday) afternoon.
