DEATH OF MRS. J. R. QUILTY AT NYNGAN.

This sad event took place at her residence, Nyngan, on Wednesday, the 15th instant. The amiable and accomplished lady died fortified by all the rites of the Holy Mother Church. The deceased was the oldest daughter of Mr. Thomas Cahill, of Erin Vale, near Narromine, and formerly of Geelong and the Mt Mita, Victoria. She was niece of the Mother General of the Good Samaritan Order, New South Wales, and sister of Sister Mary Aquinas, of the Presentation Convent, Hay. Educated by the Good Samartan the Balmain and Wollongong convent, under the late Mother De Sales, she speedily gained University honors. The good nuns of Wollongong were fortunate enough to secure her services for teaching in the higher branches of music, French, drawing, painting, etc, for a period of some seven years. Leaving the Wollongong High School, to the great regret of both Sisters and pupils, who were greatly attached to her, Miss Cahill went to reside with her parents at Geelong, Victoria, for some twelve months prior to her marriage with J. R. Quilty third son of the late M. Quilty, Wollongong, which was solemnised at St. Mary's, Geelong, by the Rev. Father Brazil on the 9 June 1892. Settling in Nyngan with her husband, Mrs. Quilty became a most zealous worker in everything pertaining to the welfare of the local church. She was head of a branch of the Sacred Heart Society, as also organist, which position she held with entire satisfaction to herself and the whole parish. Mrs. Quilty's (?) from July 8. It was one of the trials of motherhood. Peritonitis set in, and although the best medical aid and nursing was secured, all their skill and care were of no avail. The deceased lady was unremittingly attended to by the good priest, Father Casey, who never witnessed a more prepared and happy death. Father Casey offered Masses on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and on Wednesday said Mass in Mrs. Quilty's bedroom by her bedside, when she was given her last Communion.

Father Casey was by her bedside until she breathed her last. Around her bedside during her last moments, besides her husband and Father Casey, were her father and mother and. brothers, and a young sister. All felt most sympathetically for the sorely afflicted husband in his unspeakably great bereavement. The funeral was an exceptionally large one, being attended by all denominations. At the church, where the remains were taken en route to the cemetery, everyone was deeply affected. Father Casey spoke in most touching terms, saying that Mrs. Quilty's edifying life was worth more than all his preaching. The three brothers of the deceased, Mr. E. Cahill, Narromine, Mr T. J. Cahill, Nyngan, and Mr. Joseph Cahill, Coonamble, were present at the grave. Mrs. Quilty's age was 31 years. She lived a blameless life, and died a holy death.

THE LATE MRS. S. M. QUILTY.

At the age of 85, Mrs. Sarah Mary Quilty, who was well-known in the Gundagai, Tumut, and Wollongong districts, passed away on the 14th inst., at her late residence, Moore Park-road, Paddington. The old lady came to Sydney from Wollongong 31 years ago. Her husband was Michael Quilty, who died in the city in 1892. Born near the site of the Sydney Town Hall the year after the arrival of the late Archbishop Polding, our first prelate, in 1835, Mrs. Quilty was the daughter of the late John Quilter, one of the pioneer Irish Catholic settlers in the Murrumbidgee district. Her mother was a native of Appin, New South Wales. In the great Gundagai flood of June, 1852, when 80 persons were drowned, the Miss Sarah Quilter of those days saved more than one life. Married at Tumut in 1858, Mrs. Quilty had seven children, six of whom survive her — Mrs. S. P. Pinchin, Mr. Michael Quilty, Mr. James R Quilty, Mr. John Francis Quilty. Mr. William Edward Quilty (Crown Law Department) and Miss Josephine Quilty.

A devout Catholic in thought, word, and deed, the late Mrs. Quilty was for some years past one of the Paddington parishioners. On the Sunday before her death the long memoried survivor of the Gundagai flood heard Holy Mass in St. Francis', and her remains rested in the church she loved so well from Friday night until the funeral left for the Waverley cemetery on Saturday afternoon. … The Catholic Press (Sydney, NSW : 1895 - 1942) Thursday 21 April 1921 p 32
