  Notes	September 2008: From http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hcastle/transcripts/bev_edmonds/transcripts/page3.html (website containing newspaper transcripts): VICTORIA Melbourne, January 2 A sad fatality occurred near Murchison yesterday afternoon, two sons of Michael MINTER, of Dhurringile station, losing their lives. One of the youths named Geoffrey went into the water for a duck he had shot. He got out of his depth, and being unable to swim he sank. His brother Charles plunged in to his assistance, but was heavily weighted by leggings and shooting gear, and was unable to regain the bank. Both were drowned. The drowning incident was reported in at least three newspapers. Their reports include a great deal of detail about how the accident happened and include what are in effect obituaries of the two young men. Thanks to Tim Kendall I have copies of the 3 reports.
