A WOMAN'S DEATH.

The adjourned inquest on Mrs. Louisa Collings, who died under what were considered suspicious circumstances, at Botany, was concluded to-day.

The Government Analyst gave evidence that he found no trace of poisoning in the stomach, and that death was due to excessive use of alcoholic liquors.

The jury returned a verdict to that effect. Wagga Wagga Express (NSW : 1879 - 1917) Saturday 26 October 1901 p 2

WOMAN ENVELOPED IN FLAMES.

KIAMA, Monday.

While preparing breakfast this morning Mrs. Phil Collins, of Jamberoo, was severely burned through her dress catching alight at the kitchen fire. She ran screaming into another room for assistance, enveloped in flames from head to foot. The ambulance was sent for and took Mrs. Collins to the Kiama Hospital, where she now lies in a critical condition. The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954) Tuesday 22 May 1928 p 12

Mrs. Collins arrived in Sydney having stood the journey exceedingly well. She is within a few minutes' walk of her daughter, Mrs Bert Fahey, on the North Shore. The Kiama Independent, and Shoalhaven Advertiser (NSW : 1863 - 1947) Saturday 4 August 1928 p 2

MRS. PHIL. COLLINS.

The sad news came through on Thursday to Jamberoo that Mrs. Phil. Collins (who was so badly burned by her clothing accidentally catching fire on May 23) had died in Sydney that morning.

The deepest sympathy is felt for Mr. Collins and the Messrs. Jno. and Phil. Collins, her sons, who were wrapped up in their mother and spared no expense or left a thing undone that affection could prompt during the long and painful illness that followed the accident.

Owing to the terrible nature of her injuries and the consequent shock, little hope was entertained from the first of recovery, as Mrs. Collins was 66 years of age. The deceased lady was one of an old district family, born at Bob's Flat, under the shadow of the Jamberoo mountain, her parents the late Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Brennan, old pioneer folk of Jamberoo. She was one of the kindest of women in sickness and trouble, a friend to many, and in her home a most devoted mother, greatly beloved by her children. Mrs. A. Fahey, her daughter residing in Sydney, mourns with her brothers in their great loss. The gentle Christian character of the late Mrs. Collins and her good life, was a pattern to all who knew her and she was an earnest church worker.

The funeral takes place this afternoon. The body was conveyed by evening train to Kiama and thence to Jamberoo, a service to be held in St. Matthews Church previous to the interment. Widespread sympathy is expressed for the Collins family in their trouble, and to Messrs. J. and N. Brennan, of Sydney, her brothers.

For some ten weeks the late Mrs. Collins was a private patient in the Sarah Fuller Memorial ward at the Kiama Hospital and a week or so ago was removed to Sydney for special treatment. She stood the journey better than expected but a sudden collapse brought the end. The Kiama Independent, and Shoalhaven Advertiser (NSW : 1863 - 1947) Saturday 11 August 1928 p 2

THE LATE MR. AND MRS. THOS. COLLINS.

It is not often that husband and wife follow one another to the grave so closely as did Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Collins, of

Wollongong, within the last few days as it were. On the Friday of the week before last the mortal remains of Mrs. Collins were laid in the Church of England cemetery, and on Friday last those of her husband were deposited there.

The age of the former was 74 years, and that of the latter 82 years. Both of them were old residents of the district and much respected, and, although they passed away from this life unknown to the present community in a general sense, each of them formerly occupied a prominent position in local society.

Mrs. Collins was the daughter of the late Mr. Robert Haworth, who was the owner, and occupier of the Kembla Grange Estate, for many years, and who, within that period, represented the electorate of Illawarra in Parliament, the constituency then embracing the portion of the district northward of the Macquarie and Coal Cliff ; and it may be mentioned that it was during Mr. Haworth's representation of Illawarra that the amount of money for the con struction of Belmere Basin was granted by Parliament. Much of Mrs. Collins' early life was spent at Kembla Grange.

In course of time, however, she married a relative — the late Mr. Jonathan Haworth, who predeceased her many years ago. About fourbeen or fifteen years since she became the second wife of Mr. Thomas Collins, who long before then had been carrying on a jewellery business in Wollongong; and, after passing the remainder of their lives happily together, they passed away, as already stated, within a week of one another.

Mr. Collins was an old residente of the district and had served as an alderman of Wollongong over a lengthened period and was Mayor, of the borough two or three years. He was an unassuming and worthy man, and until the effects of age caused him to live very much in retirement he was a well-known figure in Wollongong every-day life.

Mrs. Collins was a sister of our respected townswonan, Mrs Rathmell, sen., of Corrimal-street, and Mr. Collins was the father of Mrs. James Rathmell, of the same place, also of the late Mrs.Robert Oswald, and of the wife of the Rev. Aden Parsons, of Sydney, the latter gentleman being among those who attended the funeral on Friday. Mrs. Collins left one son by her first marriage — Mr. Kembla Haworth.

MRS. ELIZABETH COLLINS.

The sad death occurred in Lismore last Monday of Mrs. Elizabeth Collins.

The remains were brought to Mullumbimby for interment in the Roman Catholic portion of the local cemetery. The Rev. Father Williams conducted the funeral ceremony.

Mrs. S. Knight of Mullumbimby and Mrs. McCarthy, of Main Arm, are daughters of deceased.

A widow, five sons and five daughters are left to mourn. The sons are Richard, Con, and Philip (Mullumbimby); and John and Michael (Kyogle).

The daughters are Mrs. R. McCarthy (Main Arm), Mrs. Stan Knight (Wilson's Creek); Mrs E. Smith (Murwillumbah); Mrs. O'Connell (Lismore), and Mrs. Mitchell (Narrabri).Mullumbimby Star (NSW : 1906 - 1936) Thursday 14 June 1934 p 2

Here's a clipping from the Durham “Chronicle” (England) of September. 15, 1905:— On Thursday night a successful 'at home' was held at the house of Mrs. Smith, Travellers Rest Inn, Murton Colliery, as a send off to Mr. and Mrs. David Collins, who have been at Murton on a visit from Helensburgh (N.S.W.) since March last, and who are nephew and niece of Mr. Jos Short, an old resident of the colliery. There were over 60 present (all relatives), and a very pleasant evening was spent. Mr. Jos. Short, senr., presided, and in a neat speech, explained the object of the gathering. Several toasts were duly honored, and songs, etc., given by Messrs. T. Short, J. Curtiss, R. Smith, W. Smith, Jos. Short, junr., J. Smith, J. Summerson, John Short, Master Smith, and Miss Smith. Mr. Collins feelingly replied, and thanked all present for their kindness during their stay. Each of the 60 persons assembled gave a present to Mr. and Mrs. Collins as a memento of their visit to the old country. Mr. and Mrs. Collins, who are residents of Helensburgh, and who have been away on a trip to England, are expected back next Saturday. Mr. Collins is a son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Summerson, who came to Helensburgh in 1884 and are therefore practically, the oldest residents.

Family had left Jamberoo in early 1910 a few months before her husband was killed in a quarry accident.

The deceased, who was a native of Jamberoo, and who only left here some few months ago, was about 40 years of age. During his long residence in Kiama he followed the occupation principally of a quarryman, working at different times in the Kiama quarries and at Bombo. He was a quiet, steady man, and gained many friends among his fellow-workers in Kiama, who will deeply regret to hear of his untimely end… Deceased was a married man, and leaves to mourn him a widow and large family of nine or ten young children, the oldest of whom is yet but a lad, and sincere sympathy is felt for them and the deceased's aged mother in their bereavement.

Living at Jamberoo in 1903 Electoral Roll -Domestic Duties

MRS. THOMAS COLLINS.

A very old lady, whom our grandfathers knew as the “Irish Beauty,” died on Thursday, aged 96 years.

As Mrs. Mary Collins she came to Australia in 1844 from Limerick and settled in the bush at a town now known as Jamberoo. Sydney was still partly a penal settlement when she visited it, and she knew many stories of the old days when convict chains clanked along George-street. She grew up with Jamberoo for 76 years, and had 14 children, Mrs. McGuire, Keen-street, being one of the daughters. Her grandchildren numbered about 36 and the fourth generation was represented by three great-grandchildren. Her memory and energies were wonderful, and she danced a jig a month before her death. She was buried in the Rookwood cemetery on Friday afternoon.

Thus the “Sun” refers to the death of Mrs.  Collins, so well known throughout this district, who passed away this week at her daughter's residence in Sydney. Her witty tongue and kindly heart, her wonderful vitality, sense and humor, at such an age - for but a couple of years ago she thought nothing of walking to Jamberoo - made Mrs. Collins a kind of district possession that we were proud of. Now the long life has closed, not in decrepitude, but in a wonderful vigor of mind and body for such an age - and the figure, familiar from childhood to many district people, will be known no more.

The late Mrs. Collins left many friends.

Of true Christian character and devoted to her church, a kindly soul ever ready to do a neighbourly deed or friendly action, she deserved the best that life could give, and she got it in a wonderful health and a happy heart that made the best of things.

It seems (says the “Kiama Independent” of 5th June) a pity that she does not rest in the soil of the old district she loved so well, and of which she was its oldest inhabitant; but her last illness came while staying with her daughter in Sydney, and the burial took place in Rookwood cemetery.

Had the funeral been in Jamberoo a record attendance would have been given as a last token of the genuine liking and respect earned by one held in general regard. Northern Star (Lismore, NSW: 1876 - 1954) Thursday 24 June 1920 p 4

Late Mrs. Michael Collins.

After many weeks of intense suffering, the death occurred at the Kiama Hospital, at the age of 60 years, on Thursday, the 13th ult., of Mrs. Michael Collins, a well-known and highly respected resident of Albion Park, whose kindly, hospitable and charitable mature was recognised by all who knew her as a resident for some 62 years. Previous to her marriage at Kiama 41 years ago, to Mr. M. Collins (then overseer of Bombo Quarry), she was a Miss Mary Ford, of Jamberoo, and her mother predeceased her by some eight weeks at the great age of nearly 90 years. In the family during the last eight months four deaths have taken place, one brother (James) being killed at Bulli, when overseer in one of the coal mines; while another brother (Edward) died suddenly on the North Coast. The Ford family was one of the old pioneer families of Jamberoo, and at the funeral there was a representative gathering, including the Mayor, Town Clerk, and representatives of the council, from that district, and from Albion Park, where, as in other centres, Mrs. Collins' philanthropic works were well known and fully appreciated.

The coffin was taken to St. Peter's Church, Kiama, in which she was married, and the Requiem Mass, previous to the funeral, was largely attended.

The late Mrs. Collins was a devoted Catholic, a generous giver, and an untiring worker in church affairs. She was the soul of hospitality also, and friends, neighbours and strangers, too, were welcomeed to her home in Albion Park. For several years her health had not been good. She leaves a sorrowing husband to mourn tho loss of one of the best as a wife and life partner, and a very kindly memory in tho hearts of those who knew her well, for the good qualities that were hers.

Mrs. John Collins.

Mrs. John Collins, of Jamberoo, passed away a few days ago, at the age of 67. She was a native of Ireland, arrived in the State at an early age, and resided in Jamberoo over 50 years. Deceased was in her usual good health till about a week previous to her demise, and the deepest sympathy is expressed to her sorrowing husband and the following children, who survive viz., Annie, wife of Mr. Daniel Buckley (Sydney); May, wife of Mr. Walter Brennan (North Sydney); Miss Margaret Collins (Sydney), and Messrs. Denis Collins (Sydney), Cyril Collins (Albion Park), and John Collins, jun. (Jamberoo), all of whom feelkeenly the loss of one who was dear to them. She was a model wife and devoted mother. All the members of the family were at her bedside during her illness, and her daughters, with the assistance of kind friends, administered every attention possible under the sad circumstances. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon, and the cortege was a very long one, as a last tribute of respect.

Prior to interment in St. Matthew's Church Cemetery, Jamberoo, prayers were said in the church by Rev. Father McNamara, who also read the last sad prayers at the graveside. During the church ceremony Miss Condon, church organist, played the “Dead March” in “Saul.” A number of wreaths, telegrams and letters of condolence were received by the bereaved ones.— R.I.P.

Mrs. M. COLTMAN.

One of Mt. Keira's most esteemed citizens in the person of Mrs. Mary Coltman, of Spring Street, died in Wollongong Hospital last Friday after an illness of about 12 months.

Aged 68 years she was a member of one of the pioneer families in that district— the McGoldrick's — and her death will be sincerely regretted by a wide circle of friends for her cheerful disposition had endeared her to all.

She was born at Mt. Keira, being the eldest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Patrick McGoldrick, and had lived all her life there.

She was a helpmate to all and was ever-ready to lend a helping hand particularly in cases of sickness. She was a true 'Florence Nightingale' and devoted her life to the sick, even to neglecting her own health in attending to the needs of neighbours and friends.

She married Mr. John Thomas Coltman at Bulli Catholic Church and the issue of the union was four sons— James (deceased), John, Arthur and Francis (deceased) and one daughter, Margaret. (Mrs. D. Ross, of Austinmer). Three of the sons, James, John and Arthur have been prominent rugby league referees.

She was a sister to Messrs. James (deceased), Patrick, Andrew, Charles (Sydney), Matthew and Peter McGoldrick, and Kate Mrs. Brown Keira), Sarah (Mrs. G. Brunero, Dapto) and Margaret (Mrs. Edwards).

The funeral on Surday afternoon left the home of her son, John, at 69 Keira road, for Wollongong Catholic cemetery. It was representative of all sections of the community and this representation, together with the wealth of floral tributes, was indicative of the great respect and esteem in which she was held. Rev. Father Mulheren administered the last sad rites Three rephews, two grandsons and a grand son-in-law acted as pall bearers.

Husband was in records for land grants from 1830 to 1837. He was insolvent in 1843 living in Elizabeth St Sydney and a gentleman. He had land grants for Willoughby and Bankstown 1836 to 1841.

Her husband was arrested for gross indecency in 1842 and sentenced to a year in gaol. She went to London in 1842 with her three sons. It is possible Grace is not her daughter but the acknowledged illigitimate daughter of her husband.

They may never have lived in the Illawarra but have lent his name to local geography.

MRS. ELIZABETH CONDON. Death has claimed one of the grand old pioneers of the South Coast, in the person of Mrs. Elizabeth Condon, who passed away at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. T. J. Maguire, 'Lisheen,' Market-street, Wollongong, on the 11th ult. At an early age she married the late Mr. James Condon, a well-known resident of Albion Park. During their early married life the late Mr. and Mrs. Condon conducted the Brighton Hotel at Kiama, also the Commercial Hotel at Albion Park, and subsequently went to Jamberoo. Some years ago the family took up their residence at Albion Park, and few who have recollections of the past will readily forget the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Condon and their family at their home, 'Myee,' with its picturesque surroundings, the scene of many happy gatherings. The late Mrs. Condon was of a very charitable disposition, pious, and most devoted to her family and Church. During her illness she was attended by the Rev. Father McDonnell, P.P., who is a very old friend of the family; also the Rev. Fathers Dempsey, Hannon, and Sheehan, and the Sisters of the Good Samaritan Order, visited her frequently. The late Mrs. Condon had been ailing for some three months, but until a few days before her death sanguine hopes of her recovery were entertained by the members of her family. The funeral, which left Wollongong by road for Albion Park, was a very large and representative one. The last sad rites were performed by the Rev. Father O'Sullivan in the church and at the graveside. The late Mrs. Condon is survived by a daughter (Mrs. T. J. Maguire, of Wollongong) and a son (Mr. W. E. Condon, of Albion Park), who mourn their loss. — R.I.P. Freeman's Journal (Sydney, NSW : 1850 - 1932)Thursday 9 October 1924 - Page 7

MRS. MARGARET CONDON.

After a life time of 77 years spent in the Illawarra district, Mrs. Margaret Condon passed away at her residence, Crown St. West, Wollongong, last Sunday. She was born in Jamberoo, her parents being the late Mr. and Mrs. Edward Clancy, two of the very early pioneers of the district. When a young woman she married the late Mr. Patrick Condon and resided with her husband on his farm, which was situated between Albion Park and Jamberoo.

About thirty years ago they took up residence in Crown Street West, with their family of five sons and three daughters. The late Mrs. Condon was of a quiet and neighbourly disposition and she won the friendship and esteem of those who came in contact with her. She was quite active until about five months ago, when she became ill with influenza, and had hardly recovered, from that illness when she contracted another malady. Her husband predeceased her by about 11 years. The members of the family still living are Misses Florence and Lillian, who resided with their mother, Mrs. Cahill (Stella), of Daceyville, and Messrs. Joseph Hurtle (Strathfield), Aub. J. (Albion Park), Charles (Hurlstone Park) and John (Crookwell). One son, Patrick, was killed at Ypres. Mrs. Ryan, of Jamberoo, who has been residing at the Crown Street West residence for the past twelve months, is a sister, and Mr. William Clancy, of Summer Hill, is a brother.

The interment took place on Monday afternoon, the remains being conveyed to St. Francis Xavier's Church, where a short service was held, and afterwards to the Roman Catholic portion of the Wollongong cemetery.

A large number of local and Albion Park residents were present to pay their last respects to the deceased.

The Rev. Father Kelleher officiated at both services. Illawarra Mercury (Wollongong, NSW: 1856 - 1950) Friday 2 February 1934 p 8

HE LATE MRS. MAURICE CONDON. Mrs. Maurice Condon, a well-known resident of Balmain and Lakemba, passed peacefully away at her residence, 'Mimosa,' East Hills, on the 18th inst., fortified by all the rites of Holy Church. She was born at Kiama in 1853, and was married at Berry (then known as Broughton Creek) in 1875. Shortly afterwards she and her husband settled at Balmain West, now Rozelle. Here, for a quarter of a century, despite the cares and obligations inseparable to the rearing of a large family, she figured notably as an ardent worker in Church matters, and there must be many middle-aged people at this moment who can cast a kindly thought back to the days when she oft contributed to their youthful happiness by her untiring zeal and work in connection with children's picnics. About 18 years ago, the family removed to Lakemba, where she lived for 14 years, and then removed to East Hills, where, as at Lakemba, the well-kept home, with gardens and orchard, betokened the cultivated taste of what was inborn within her, namely, admiration of nature in all its beautiful forms. Throughout her life intense love of home and family were the dominant traits of her character. She leaves a family of five sons and three daughters. Of late her health had been failing, but it was not thought the end was so near. The attendance at the funeral (she was buried at Rookwood), and the very large number of the usual messages and tokens of condolence tendered to the bereaved husband and family, gave ample proof of the esteem in which the deceased lady had been held. — R.I.P.

CONLON v. CONLON

Mrs. Sarah Isabella Conlon of South Lismore, sought a dissolution of her marriage with Thomas Edward Conlon on the ground of desertion.

The parties were married at Wollongong, on August 25, 1927, according to the rites of the Church of England. The petitioner stated that she had been married previously and there were five children of that marriage. There was no issue of her second marriage.

The petitioner, Sarah Isabella Conlon who resides at South Lismore, said that she first met Conlon in 1923, at Casino, where he was a horse trainer. Conlon had told her that he was born in Brisbane and had come to New South Wales as a boy.

After the marriage, Mrs. Conlon said, they were farming at Coorabell until her husband left her in 1933.

She said that her married life was unhappy as her husband abused her and struck her several times. On two or three occasions she left home, but Conlon, she said, pleaded with her to return.

On September 16, 1933, an argument arose over a letter she received from her daughter. Her husband struck her because she would not allow him to read the letter. She went to a neighbour's farmland would not return as she was afraid of her husband.

Mrs. Conlon said that she took out a summons for assault against her husband and later proceeded against him for maintenance. Her husband had left before October 25 and she had not seen or heard of him since.

Sergeant Stewart, of Mullumbimby, gave evidence that an order for maintenance had been made against Conlon in the Children's Court at Mullumbimby in October, 1933. Conlon also had been fined for assault. Warrants had been issued for Conlon respecting the maintenance order and payment of the fine for assault, but Conlon could not be located.

Evidence for the petitioner was given also by Stanley Ernest Akers, of C?.

His Honour found the issues proven and granted a decree nisi returnable six months.

The respondent was ordered to pay costs. Northern Star (Lismore, NSW : 1876 - 1954) Wednesday 21 September 1938 p 9

MRS. BARBARA CONNOLLY. Mrs. Barbara Connelly, whose death on Saturday at the age of 81 years was reported in Monday's “Leader,” resided at March for 60 years or more, and was a native of Illawarra district. After her marriage she came with her husband, Mr. William Connolly, who died twelve years ago, to Orange, then the terminus of the western railroad. They took over the Welcome Inn at March, the ruins of which still remain near the March Hall as a memorial of the pioneering days when bullock and horse teams penetrated the outback from the railhead. After three years in charge of the hotel, which was one of the bestknown on the western road, Mr. and Mrs. Connolly abandoned this business, in which they had been very successful, to take up farming at “Maryvale,” not far distant. A son, Mr. Thompson Connolly, still occupies the old farm and orchard. Rev. Wesley Stocks, in an oration at the last services for the deceased on Sunday, paid feeling tribute to the noble character of the passing pioneers, among whom the late Mrs. Connolly ranked so high. They had displayed great courage, tenacity and patriotism, and had a high place in the history of the Empire. The very large gathering of mourners listened with appreciation and concurrence to Mr. Stocks' remarks. Four daughters and one son are left. They are: Mrs. F. Brewer (March), Mrs. C. Kjoller (Clergate), Mrs. H. Boulton (Mullion), Mrs. Ern Griffith (March), and Mr. Thompson Connolly (March). One son and one daughter predeceased their mother.

DEATH OF MRS ELLEN CONNORS

On Thursday last, March 21st, there passed away from earth and all she held most dear, at the ripe old age of three score and ten, one of our most worthy and respected citizens in the person of Mrs. E. Connors, relict of the late Mr. William Connors, who predeceased her 20 years ago on the Gilmore. The cause of death was senile decay.

Deceased was a native of Maitland, and came with her husband from the Illawarra district to Tumut 35 years ago, where she resided up to the time of her demise. All who had the pleasure of her acquaintance speak of her in the highest terms of respect. She was kindness in extreme, and a true emblem of all gifts—charity. A fond wife, she bore 13 children (8 sons and 5 daughters); of these but eight remain, viz : Messrs William, Benjamin, Michael and James, Mesdames Sharpe, Rushton, Coomes and Miss Mary Ann. Five of her family were present at her bedside when the relentless Reaper came.

Those unable to be here were her son James and Mesdames Sharpe and Rushton. During her long life she had enjoyed up to the last few years remarkably good health, but age and consequent infirmity told its tale. Drs. Mason and Browne did all they could to alleviate the troubles, as did her patient nurses, and she rallied several times till her soul went out to Him who gave it. She died peacefully after receiving the consolation of her church and spiritual advisers. Her loss has left an aching void this world can never fill. She leaves behind her a worthy family comfortably settled in life to mourn the loss of a kind, considerate mother, whose whole life was wrapt-up in their welfare, and her kindly advice will ever be remembered by them. Her remains were interred on Saturday last in the Roman Catholic portion of the old cemetery. The Tumut Advocate and Farmers and Settlers' Adviser (NSW: 1903 - 1925) Tuesday 26 March 1912 p 2

MRS. ALEX. COOK

There passed away at her residence, “Albion Farm' Alstonville, Sunday, 12th inst., an early resident of the district in the person of Mrs. Alexina Cooke, wife of Mr. Alex. Cook, of Alstonville. Deep regret was felt throughout the whole community when the news became known, as the deceased lady was held in the highest respect and esteem. Her unbounded charity, thought fulness for others, especially those in distress, and her bright and cheerful disposition had endeared her to all, whilst, her many contributions to public functions were characteristic of her splendid generosity. She had a host of true friends, who mourn her death.

The late Mrs. Cook, who before marriage was Miss McKenzie, was born at Fairy Meadow, near Wollongong, 73 years ago, and came to Alstonville district about 30 years ago, and settled on the farm where she had lived ever since. Before coming to this locality the late Mrs. Cook Was a school teacher at North Bulli, Tongarra (near Albion Park) and Avoudale. The deceased was a great worker for the Presbyterian Church, and also for the show and all patriotic, charitable and public movements. During the war she worked indefatigably for the soldiers, and she received countless letters from them expressing their gratitude for her kindness and consideration for their comfort. Up to her last moments she had been actively engaged in this public spirited enterprise, and many a necessitous case had received liberal assistance without the facts being broadcasted to the public. Her husband survives her. There were no children of the marriage. The deceased lady was away for a fortnight in Sydney prior to her death, and was visiting a cousin, Mrs. H. Hicks, of Thirroul, South Coast, who was most anxious to see her. She said on stepping on to the jetty, at Byron Bay on her return that she had a most pleasant holiday, but before getting into the town of Byron Bay whilst walking along the jetty she complained of a sudden feeling of sickness. After resting for a while she was able to return home. After retiring in the evening she did not rise from her bed again.

The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, the cortege being one of the largest ever seen in the district. The interment took place in the Presbyterian portion of the Alstonville cemetery,

MRS. C. S. COOKE.

Mrs. .Caroline Sophia Cooke, widow of the late Mr. William Cooke, died at Murwillumbah on 30th October in her 80th year. She was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert Morrow, of Broughton Vale, near Berry, and was born in Sydney in 1850, but went to live in Berry district shortly after and there spentall her early life. She was married in 1869, and then went to live near Nowra, but came to the Richmond River in 1898. They lived at Eltham, but early in the present century Mr. and Mrs. Cooke made their home at South Lismore, where Mr. Cooke's death occurred in July, 1917. Then Mrs. Cooke made her home, with her daughter, the late Mrs. J. Black, later removing with her married daughters, Mesdames Black and Grey (Tillie) at Lakemba. She afterwards returned to the North, spending her declining months with her son at Lismore, and daughter, Mrs. A. McPherson, of River Street, Murwil lumbah, where the end came as stated, after an illness of two months, death being due to a general break up of the system. The late Mrs. Cooke was a sterling woman, a good specimen of the early colonists and pioneers of the South Coast who did much to mould the mother colony.

Of a kind, charitable disposition, she was ever ready to lend a helping hand to neighbours, and to assist in any worthy cause. Thus she was loved and respected wherever she and her esteemed husband lived. An earnest Christian and devoted member of the Methodist Church, she was attended by the Rev. Mr. Skinner of the Murwillumbah Church, who marvelled at her cheerfulness, patience and endurance during her trying illness. She leaves a family of six sons and two daughters, Messrs. Wm. Cooke - (Rous), George, Chris, and Wesley of Lismore, Richard, (stationmaster at Exeter) and Stanley of Roma, Q., and Mesdames Munro of Campsie, Sydney, and A. Mcpherson of Murwillumbah. One son, Robert, and two daughters mentioned, predeceased her. In addition there are 31 grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. One brother, Mr. W. H. Morrow, of Kiama, survives her and is 86 years of age. Mrs. Cooke's remains were laid to rest in Lismore, alongside those of her late husband, and son-in-law, Mr. John Black, in the presence of a large number of friends and relations.

Burning Fatality.

DEATH OF MRS. RUSS COOK

The Deputy Coroner (Mr. J. Kirby) held an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of Catherine Ann Cook, at the Court House, Wollongong, on Saturday morning last.

Russell Cook, husband of the deceased, deposed that his wife had been subject to fits tor the last 30 years.

On Thursday, September 23rd he went to work as usual, but at 9 a.m. he was recalled home by his son Robert, who said, 'For God's sake come home, mother has fallen into the fire.' He returned home, and found his wife severely burned, but conscious. She told him that she had fallen on to the fire, but could not explain howshe got there, and expressed a wish to see Dr. Kerr. He rang up Dr. Kerr, and had his wife conveyed to the Wollongong District Hospital. He was not with her when she died, but had seen her several times on the day the passed away. She had fallen into the fire previously without being able to explain anything of it.

Dr. John Kerr, Wollongong, deposed that he had known the deceased for many years, during which she was subject to epileptic fits. On the morning of September 23rd, shortly after 9 a.m. he had a telephone conversation with Russell Cook, and as a result, advised the immediate removal of Mrs. Cook to the Wollongong District Hospital, where he saw her shortly after her arrival. She was severely burned on the face, arms, chest, and upper part of the abdomen, and was suffering severely from shock.

The burns were chiefly of the second, and, in some cases, the third degree, i.e., blisters, and charring of the skin.

Dressings were applied and remedies given to relieve pain, and combat shock, but she sank, and died in about 21 hours. He was of the opinion that she died from shock consequent upon burns received from falling into the fire during an epileptic fit. A similar accident had occurred to her about 12 months ago, as a result of which she was an inmate of the Hospital for about six months.

Robert Thomas Cook, labourer (who appeared with both hands heavily bandaged) deposed that he was a son of the deceased, and resided with his parents at Cordeaux River. On the morning of Thursday, September 23rd, his mother appeared, as she always did, in the best of health. At about 8.30 he was about 100 yards from the house when he heard a terrible scream.

He ran back to the house, and found his mother lying face downwards in the fire, with the whole of the upper part of her body lying on the flames.

Her clothing was burning, and she was not conscious. He pulled her off the fire and rolled her in a blanket, burning his hands in so doing. He then ran for Mrs. Cutts, a neighbour, and, on her arrival, went for his father.

Mary Ann Cutts, Cordeaux River, deposed that she had gone to render first aid to Mrs. Cook as a result of what she had been told by Robert Cook. She had applied oil, and wad- ding, to the awful burns to somewhat alleviate the agony. The deceased was conscious all the time, and frequently spoke to her.

His Worship gave a verdict in accordance with the medical evidence. Illawarra Mercury (Wollongong, NSW : 1856 - 1950) Friday 1 October 1926 p 5

LATE MRS. FRANK COOK

The death occurred at her residence; Springhill, Coniston, on Saturday evening, of Mrs. Cook, wife of Mr. Frank Cook, a member of the well-known Unanderra .family. She enjoyed good health until about seven months a go, and during the intervening period has been an inmate of Lewisham and Wootan Hospitals, Sydney. Much sympathy is felt for the bereaved hus band and family of eight children, viz., Messrs. Max, Hilton, Kevin and Colin Cook, and Misses Sheila, Lorna, Moya and Norma Cook, in the loss they have sustained in the death of an affectionate wife and mother, who is also mourned by a wide circle of friends.

The late Mrs. Cook was Miss Lottie Brownlee prior to her marriage, and was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs.: John Brownlee, of Albion Park, and sister of the Misses Brownlee of that centre, and of Mr. Frank Brownlee: She was married to Mr. Cook 31 years ago, and they resided in Dapto after their marriage, subsequently removing to the North Coast and residing at Bellingen and the Tweed River district, where the deceased made many friends owing to her neighbourly qualities. Seven years ago the family removed to the Illawarra district, and went to reside at Springhill, where Mr. Cook is engaged in farming.

The interment took place in the Catholic portion of the Wollongong cemetery, on Sunday afternoon, the Rev. Father O'Rourke officiating at the graveside. The funeral cortege was a representative one. Illawarra Mercury (Wollongong, NSW : 1856 - 1950) Friday 2 April 1937 p 5

MRS. JANE COOKE- 78 YEARS.

The death occurred on Friday last at her home, Victoria cottage, Belinda St, Gerringong, of Mrs. Jane Cooke, one of the oldest and most respected residents of the township.

The late Mrs Cooke had been in failing health for some time, and had been surrounded with the loving care and devotion of her children at Gerringong, especially her daughter Mrs. Williamson, with whom she lived. She also received and greatly appreciated the ministrations of the Revs S Taylor and J.W. A. Watkinson, and Mr. L Harris (Catechist) of the Church of England of which she was a devoted adherent, and for which she had worked so well in her years of health and activity.

After the war, she had presented to St. George's Church at Gerringong, a beautiful communion table in remembrance of her son, George, who had paid the supreme sacrifice at the front.

On the occasion of Archbishop Mowll's visit to Gerringong last year, he specially went to see Mrs Cooke, and this honour was a great encouragement to her. Born at Jerara the late Mrs. Cooke came to live in Gerringong 55 years ago and the cottage where she died was her original home. Her husband the late William Richard Cooke, engaged in the business of bacon-curing, at the time the old Boatharbour was the outlet for the produce of the Gerringong district, prior to the coming of the railway. Later he engaged in dairying and butchering, and in all his work Mrs Cooke was a great helpmate to her husband.

Some twenty years ago Mrs. Cooke commenced the guest house at “Billow View” and conducted this successfully until her retirement five years ago. She was also a foundation member of the Daybreak Lodge of the Order of Good Templars, and as long as she was able, she followed its activities with keen interest. Ever a lover of flowers, her garden was well-known in Gerringong.

The late Mrs Cooke was always ready to assist in any cases of illness or distress, and was a splendid friend and neighbour. She had reared a large family and was a devoted wife and mother. She leaves three sons, Messrs. Charles (Casino) Wallace (Hurlstone Park) and Harold (Gerringong) and three daughters Jessie (Mrs Ross, Gerringong), Agnes (Mrs Williamson, Gerringong), Edie (Mrs. A. J Dawes, Kiama).

A daughter also predeceased her. She had 27 grandchildren and one great grandchild. Of her own family four sisters survive in Mesdames Jackson (Ballina), Cooke (Alstonville), Wheatley (Lismore) and McGill (Croome); brothers being Major J Russell King, general manager of the Producers' Distributing Society, Sydney, and Mr Robert King (Maleny Qld) to all of whom sincere district sympathy is extended. The funeral, which was largely attended took place at the Church of England cemetery, Gerringong, on Sunday afternoon.

Mrs. R. Coombes took seriously ill last week, and was confined to her bed, and Dr. Kirkwood is now attending on her. - And she is now showing slight improvements towards recovery. Illawarra Mercury (Wollongong, NSW : 1856 - 1950)Friday 17 July 1914 - Page 2

BALGOWNIE A very sad death occurred in Balgownie on Saturday, the l4th inst. when Mrs. R. Coombs passed away. Mrs. Coombs (who has been ailing for some time past, but was able to go about and attend to her household duties) was cleaning up the kitchen when she felt a giddiness coming over her. She was passing from the kitchen, which is detached from the house, and to reach the house she had a couple of steps to mount;, she reached the door, which she opened, but fell back, pulling the door to again; in falling, she struck her head against a brick chimney, severely cutting it, and became unconscious. Her husband, being in the house at time, was unaware of what had occurred until he heard a moan, and on opening the door he was horrified to see his wife lying in a pool of blood. He carried her inside and called for assistance. Although everything that Could be done by Dr. Kirkwood, and others, was done, death occurred about two hours afterwards. Mrs. Coombs and family have been residents of Balgownie for fifteen or sixteen years, and during that period made many friends. She had taken a great interest in the Parents and Citizens' Association and was always most anxious to assist in any matter tending to advance the education of the young people. Deceased will be sadly missed at her, home. She leaves a husband, son and daughter to mourn their loss, and these are deeply sympathised with. Mr. Coombs has for the past 9 weeks been off work through having seve ral ribs broken as the result of an accident in the mine.

BITTEN by A SNAKE.-On Thursday last, Martin Copas, a lad about twelve years of age, the son of Mr. John Copas, of Wollongong, was bitten by a black snake, whilst proceeding towards the Wollongong Racecourse. The boy says that he was looking up at some eagle hawks in the air, and he felt a pain in the calf of his leg, as of pins pricking, when he looked down and saw the snake stealing stealthily away. With a shrewdness astonishing in a lad of his years, he at once started off towards the town at full speed, for the purpose of obtaining medical assistance, and to keep up an active circulation of the blood. Several times on the road he felt drowsy, but he pushed on until he came to the residence of his parents, where he saw his mother, cautioned her not to follow him, and went straight on to Dr. Lambert's., This gentleman, fortunately, was at home, and at once scarified the spot where the fangs of the venomous reptile had entered, dressed the wound, cupped the patient, end with so much success that, we are happy to say, the boy was soon out of danger.
