wore married at Dight's Forest in 1866,
and had resided in the Jindera district
from that time. The deceased lady was
closely identified with every charitable
movement in the district, and by her kind
and generous disposition had made for
herself a large circle of friends. She was
one of the organisers of the first ball in
aid of St. John's Orphanage at Thurgoona,
and had been interested in this entertain
ment each year since. A large family of
five sons and five daughters, viz., John
(Holbrook), George (Canowindra), Charles
(Albury), Joe (Goulburn), Sydney (Jindera)
Barney ('Billabong Creek). Mrs. Frauenfelder (Sydney)
Mrs. Brown (Morven), and Mrs. J. Costigan (Alburv), are left
to mourn their loss. Her husband predeceased
her bv five months. There are also
over 50 grand children and one great

pall-bearers, and the Rev Father Condon
officiated at the grave.
