David Yates was the publican of the Racecourse Hotel, Keilor and by 1896, he and his wife Bessie were raising a family of six children.
In December 1896, Joseph, David Jr and Kenneth Yates and their companions James McAdam and Joseph Worrell, set out for a swim in the Deep Creek. McAdam got out of his depth while paddling and David Yates Jr., though unable to swim, tried to save him but was soon in difficulty himself. Joseph at once rushed to his brother's aid, but he too foundered and both boys disappeared under the water. McAdam meanwhile, managed to reach the bank. The alarm was raised and the bodies were later recovered by a young man named Claude Ely. The Yates boys are buried in grave 26-27D in the old Church of England section of the Keilor Cemetery. |
