Menindee magistrate George Fullerton, 39, left town for Mount Gipps, about 150 kilometres away, on court business, but did not make it home alive.
”’Was brought back a corpse” is how the South Australian Weekly Chronicle and a number of other papers reported the death of the popular father-of-five in August, 1882.
An inquest determined he died from natural causes.
