OBITUARY: MR. A. F. LEE-STEERE.
The death of Mr. Augustus F. Lee Steere, J.P., makes another void in the fast-diminishing ranks of the early settlers of this State. Mr. Lee Steere was the fourth son of the late Mr. Lee Steere, M.P., of Jayes Park, Surrey, England, and was educated at Marlborough College. At the age of 20 he came out to this colony, where he engaged in pastoral pursuits, in conjunction with the late Mr. S. P. Phillips, of Culham, and Mr. J. G. Thomson, formerly of the Blackwood. Soon after his arrival in Western Australia he married Ellen Elizabeth, fifth daughter of the late Mr. G. S. Roe, Surveyor-General of the Colony, by whom he had a family of three sons and three daughters. Mrs. Lee Steere died in 1887, but all his children survive him, except his youngest son, Algernon. In his younger days Mr. Lee Steere was an ardent supporter of cricket and a good batsman, having represented his county, Surrey. He was also a good judge of horses and a fearless rider, and at one time acted as judge at the Royal Agricultural Show in this State. He was much respected by those who knew him, and doubtless his generosity will be remembered by many. For the greater part of his life Mr. Lee Steere suffered from an illness brought on at first by an accident. Although the best medical advice was sought, both here and in the old country (for which purpose Mr. Lee Steere visited England in the sixties), nothing could be done, and, as he grew older, he became more and more of an invalid, and for several years had been almost completely con- fined to his house. The immediate cause of Mr.Lee Steere's death was paralysis, and the end, when it came, was sudden. He was taken ill on Wednesday of last week, and on the following morning passed peacefully away. The funeral took place on Saturday last, at 2 p.m., and was attended by a large number of relatives and friends.
Among the relatives who followed the sad procession were: Messrs. Herbert Lee Steere (son), E. A. Roberts (grandson), J. B. Roe (brother-in-law), Charles Lee Steere, John H. Phillips, J. C. Phillips, and S Burges (nephews); also R. G. Burges. M.L.A., W. A. G .Walter, P.M., J. F. Taylor. Mr. Ernest Lee Steere (second son of deceased) was unavoidably absent, being on the Murchison, also Mr E. A. P. Roberts (son-in-law), through illness.
