Deceased, who was the youngest son of those grand old pioneers, the late Mr. and Mrs. William Coman, of Eurobodalla, was a native of the district, having been born at Eurobodalla 60 years ago. After his marriage, with Miss Dora Flanagan, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Flanagan, of the Burra, Moruya, he acquired property on the Wagonga River, and engaged in farming pursuits.
