Details: DEATH OF MR. HENRY BUCHANAN AT half past 5 o clock yesterday morning, Mr. Henry Buchanan, of the Criterion Hotel, one of our most enterprising citizens, passed away at the age of 48. Mr. Buchanan had been ill for some days, but it was not until Friday that symptoms of sufficiently serious a character to cause anxiety to his most intimate friends were noticeable. On Saturday the patient became rapidly worse, and despite the efforts of four medical gentlemen, including Dr. Knaggs, of Sydney, and Dr. Beeston, he gradually sank, and for the twenty-four hours previous to his death he remained unconscious. Mr. Buchanan was born near Glasgow, Scotland, and at the age of 18 years he came to this colony with his parents. His father died only some nine months ago, in this city. After landing in the colony Mr. Buchanan lived for some years in the North Coast district, and 20 years ago came to Newcastle. For a short time he was engaged in coal mining, and then took a hotel in Wallsend. In 1878 he entered into possession of the Criterion Hotel in this city, and conducted it until his death. He leaves a widow and a family of a son and daughter to mourn their lose., His mother-in-law, Mrs. Duncanson, a lady now in her 80th year, was present at his death. Until last month, Mr. Buchanan for several years represented the City Ward in the municipal council. He was twice chosen Mayor of the city, and held the position with honour during the years 1889 and 1890. Owing to ill-health and pressure of private business, Mr. Buchanan resigned his seat in the council come weeks ago. Being endowed with a great amount of energy and per severance, Mr. Buchanan acquired a large amount of property in the city, and being convinced that Newcastle was destined to be a large and prosperous centre, he had erected a great many superior buildings. Besides taking a deep interest in all public and political matters, the deceased was a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity and an officer in the recently formed Caledonian Society. As a token of respect to the departed, the principal places of business and the shipping in the port had flags hoisted half-mast high yesterday. The remains of the deceased will be buried in the Sandgate cemetery this afternoon, the funeral starting from the Criterion Hotel at 8 o clock.
