Newspaper Report of Death: Death at the Hospital : An old man, of 79 years, named John Stratton, died on Thursday at the Sydney Hospital. It appears that the deceased was a street-sweeper, and was knocked over by a passing horse and cart and much hurt. As the house surgeon has certified that old age had much to do with death following the accident, it is probable no inquest will be held. [ref: Evening News 25 November 1888 p6]
