COOGAN story

appearing in "Queanbeyan Age" [NSW, Australia], 12 SEP 1872, PAGE 2:

FOUND DEAD IN THE BUSH

On Saturday, 24th August, a free [selector], named Coogan, came into
Murrurundi with his wife, and on their return previous to reaching
home, Coogan said he would go into the bush to drive in a cow, which
he accordingly did, leaving his wife to go home alone.  He did not
come home on the Saturday evening (says the "Times") when search was
made for him by some of his neighbors the greater part of Saturday
night, all day on Sunday, till Monday at four o'clock, when he was
discovered quite dead.  The unfortunate man was found under a tree,
and had by appearance, been dead for some time, as his limbs were
quite rigid.  He had been ailing for some time from disease of the
heart, and had been attended by a medical gentleman from Murrurundi,
who informed him that he would die a sudden death before long.
