USHER, W O

Advertiser Monday 11 December 1905

The news of the death in London of Mr. W. O. Ussher, of the Bank of Australasia, has been received with much regret.  Mr.
Usher was born at Clare, South Australia, in 1862, and he was a son of the late Rev. P. R. C. Ussher.  He entered the Melbourne office of the Bank of Australasia in 1882, and was appointed branch manager at Portland in 1891 at Ulverstone, Tasmania, in 1893, and at Townsville, Queensland in 1894.  In 1898, on the opening of the Toowoomba branch, he was appointed
manager at that place.  A few months later, after being for a short time on the New South Wales inspecting staff, he was 
transferred to the London office, of which he was appointed secretary.  This position he held for seven years.  Recently
he was appointed sub-manager of the Melbourne office, and intended to leave London for Melbourne this month, but was attacked by pneumonia, to which he succumbed.
