Obit - Street - Death of a Popular Streetonian
It was with deep regret that people heard on Monday of the passing of Mr. Joseph Carey, who died at his home, No. 3, Bowling Green, aged 68 years. He would have celebrated his 69th birthday next month had he been spared. He had been suffering from an illness lasting a month. "Joe Carey," as he was more familiarly known to Street folk, was a personality. He had worked at the Avalon Leather Board Factory for upwards of 50 years, retiring about seven years ago on account of ill-health. He was a strong robust man in his younger days, played for the old "Dreadnought" Street football team, and took a great interest in other forms of sport. He took a keen interest in politics, and kept himself well informed. A Liberal in his younger days, he joined the Labour Party in the days of its early formation, and had been one of its keenest members ever since. Genial, brusque and outspoken, he was always ready for a political talk with any party politician, and brought to bear the hard practical knowledge he had acquired. He rarely missed a meeting, social or bazaar of his party, and his presence will be missed during the coming season's activities. He leaves a widow and six children, three sons and three daughters, to mourn their loss. Another son was killed in the Great War, and two sons are at present in Alberta, Canada. The funeral was arranged for Thursday at 2:30 p.m. at the Street Parish Churchyard.

The funeral of the late Mr. Joseph Carey, who passed away at his home, 3 Bowling Green, on Monday last week, aged 68 years, took place on Thursday last at the Street Parish Churchyard amid many manifestations of sympathy and respect. The Avalon Leather Board factory, which is situated opposite the residence of Mr. Carey, was closed during the time the funeral was taking place, and the employees lined up outside as the cortege passed. The coffin was of unpolished oak with brass fittings, and was borne to the grave side by six of the employees of the Avalon Leather Board factory, where Mr. Carey had worked for upwards to 50 years. The bearers were Messrs. E. Hockey, F. Badman, W. Ackerman, G. Barber, W. Hembury and J. Culliford. The service was conducted by the Rev. W. Bromham, curate of the parish. The principal mourners were Mrs. J. Carey (wife), Mr. G. Carey (son), Mesdames F. Lee, J. Hines, S. Martin (daughters), Messrs. F. Lee, J. Hines, S. Martin (sons-in-law), Mrs. G. Carey (daughter-in-law), Phyllis, Margaret, Joan, Graham (grandchildren), Messrs. & Mesdames Trowbridge, Wright, Williams, G. Heal, Marchant, Andrews, Messrs. Horace Broughton, Clifford Wright, S. Godfrey, Mesdames Dyer, W. Dyer, S. Broughton, H. Broughton, G. Broughton, Hobbs (nephews & nieces), Mesdames S. Phyllis, Pike, A. Taylor (Walton), Fisher, Hopkins, Stacey, Barnes, Webb, Porter, T.
