MRS. M.J. RAFTERY.

The sincere sympathy of the community will be extended to the relatives of the late Mrs. Mary Jane Raftery in her sudden and untimely death, which took place at Gosford on Monday morning last. Mrs. Raftery, who had been a resident of Dapto, had been on a visit to her brother, Mr. Harold Edmondson, of Mann Street, for a few days only. On Monday morning she decided to take a short walk before breakfast, and when in Dwyer Street, near the residence of Mr. A. J. Delandre, she suddenly collapsed and died from heart failure.

Her condition was discovered by Mr. Delandre, but although medical assistance was summoned she was beyond human aid. The late Mrs. Raftery, who was 51 years of age, leaves a sorrowing husband and four children, three sons and one daughter. The body was taken by train on Tuesday morning to Dapto, where it was allowed to rest in the Roman Catholic Church till 1 p.m. yesterday, when the funeral took place to the Roman Catholic cemetery at West Dapto. Mr. Harold Edmondson went to Dapto to attend the funeral The Gosford Times and Wyong District Advocate (NSW : 1906 - 1954) Thursday 24 November 1932 Page 11

Julia Rane Rauch
AN APPRECIATION
(By U. K. W.)

She was a mother of soldiers. One was lost to her during the war and the other only a very little while after his home-coming.

How many can understand the feelings of a war mother? She has sanctuaries of grief into which none may follow her. Outwardly the compassionate touch of time comforts her, but her inner being and her patient eyes are haunted by thoughts that are hers alone; almost daily some memory tears open the healing scar which refuses to be obliterated, and from which there is no comfort from anodynes.

This mother was a physical part of her lost soldier sons, and her sons were a physical part of the mother who had brought them into this light. If we could only realise the in most horror that war afflicts on the mother's whole being, we would outlaw it, despite the cry of unthinking opportunists, outlaw it as the utmost desecration and inhumanity of humanity. Julia Rane Rauch was a war mother a mother whose trembling fingers knew what it was to open the death telegram. The memory of the world is human and so, short lived.

But how can the world bear the thought of doing to another generation of mothers what was done to the war generation? If the prayers of mothers could melt the hard hearts of men, there would be no more wars; but men are human ambitious and so . . . Julia Rane Rauch was a war mother. As the son of another war mother, I can realise and appreciate. The Shoalhaven News and South Coast Districts Advertiser (NSW : 1891 - 1937) Saturday 3 February 1934 p 3

Death from Tetanus, — We regret to have to state that Mr William Rawnsley who had his leg broken on the Mount Keira Tramway, about a fortnight since, died at his residence yesterday, from tetanus, resulting from the accident Illawarra Mercury (Wollongong, NSW : 1856 - 1950) Friday 9 December 1870 p 2

He then called and examined Mrs Rawnsley, who deposed that she was a widow, and the mother of the defendant. She did not authorise her son, in July last, nor at any other time, by order or otherwise, to get a coat from Mr Jones. She did not draw the order produced in Court, and knew nothing about it. Defendant did not ask her for permission to draw an order for goods. If he had done so, she might perhaps have allowed him. By the Bench : She could write her own name, and always signed it Rebecca Rawnsley, not Mrs Wm. Rawnsley. Defendant had repeatedly written letters for her, but she was not aware how he signed them. She could not do much more than write her name. She never authorised him to write orders for her; the only things he wrote for her were letters of business. The Christian name of her late husband was William Rawnsley. By Mr. Richard Waring, defendant's attorney: It was well known in town that her husband was dead; he died after an accident some time ago. Her son had done some business for her since the death of her husband, and she frequently consulted him in such matters. She believed her son got a coat from Mr. Jones, but he took it to some other place and did not take it home. He lived in the house with her when he was not at work. He was 23 years of age last birthday, and was not an idle boy. Mr. Jones went to her and asked if she had authorised her son to get goods from him, and she told him she had not. Her son did not tell her he had obtained the goods, but after she had seen Mr. Jones she spoke to him about it, and told him to take the coat back, as he had no money to pay for it. She believed he sent the coat back afterwards. He had not earned anything for a long time, and had not enough to support himself without her assistance. Edward Arthur Jones, said he was a storekeeper, in the town of Wollongong. Defendant called at his store about last Monday week, and presented the order produced, and which read as follows :-Wollongong, July 31, 1871. Mr. Jones,— SIR,—You will oblige me by letting the bearer have a coat or anything he wants, and also measure him for a suit of colonial tweed, at my expense. I will pay for the above when the suit is made. MRS. WM. RAWNSLEY.” He (witness) gave him the coat (produced), which was of the value of £1 1s, and measured him for the suit of colonial tweed, as requested in the order. He would have also given him anything else on the faith of the order. He tied the coat up in the usual way, and defendant took it away with him. In consequence of something he (witness) heard afterwards, he went to defendant's mother and asked her about the order. She told him she did not authorise defendant to draw such order, and that she knew nothing about it. He then wrote a letter to defendant to the Public School, demanding back the coat or the price of it at once. In about a week (after the goods were ordered) the coat was brought back to his store by a little girl. Defendant had the coat in his possession about a week. After he had spoken to Mrs Rawnsley defendant sent him a letter (produced) about the matter, which was as follows: “Wollongong, August 3rd, 1871. ” Mr. Jones, — “SIR,—I hear that you have been down to our house about the clothes I ordered, but if I have done anything wrong, I am very sorry for it. As I want the suit I ordered, you will please to make it, and when it is made I will pay you for it, and the coat before it leaves the shop, which will set all 'fars ' aside, or if not you can have the coat back again, as it has not been worn, but I would like to keep it. “John Rawnsley.” He (witness) did not think the coat had been worn while defendant had it. When defendant ordered the suit he said he would call for it on a day named, as he was passing to School. He did not do so, however. He believed defendant was a teacher in the Public School at the time. He would not have given him the goods without the order. By the Bench: It was Senior-Sergeant Sheridan who commenced the prosecution in the case. That officer came to his (witness) place, asking him if he had lost a black cloth coat, as he was aware of a house where such had been left in a very strange manner some days before by a person of whom he (Sergeant Sheridan) had not a very good opinion. After some time, he mentioned defendant's name in a confidential way, and then he (witness) and Mrs Jones told Mr. Sheridan all about the matter. The Sergeant then asked to see the documents, and the coat, and having examined them, he requested to get them into his possession to proceed against defendant, in the interest of the public, for obtaining goods under false pretences. He (witness) would have allowed the matter to drop when he got the coat back. It was the Sergeant who commenced the prosecution. Their Worships retired for about twenty minutes, and on their return they committed defendant for trial at the next Quarter Sessions, to be held on the 19th of September, bail being allowed, defendant in the sum of £5, and two sureties in £2 10s each. The Bench remarked that they made the amount of bail low, so as to give defendant an opportunity of obtaining sureties. The witnesses in the case were also bound over in the sum of £5 each to appear to give evidence in the case at the Quarter Sessions. llawarra Mercury (Wollongong, NSW : 1856 - 1950) Friday 18 August 1871 p 2

SAD FATALITY AT WOLLONGONG
A Girl Drowned.

An inquest was held at the residence of Mr. W. Rawnsley, Flinders-street, on Saturday afternoon, by the Coroner, Mr. C. C. Russell, touching the death of Elizabeth Townsend Rawnsley. Dr. Kerr deposed I was called this morning at 11 o'clock to visit the house of William Rawnsley. I drove up rapidly and saw the deceased. She was lying on the ground in a small paddock behind the residence of her father. The body was naked, but covered with a blanket, with a pillow under her head, and Mr. John Clarke was performing artificial respiration. I examined the body hurriedly, and then gave the opinion that life was extinct. I persevered with artificial respiration for three quarters of an hour in hopes of bringing the child to. No signs of animation appeared, but the symptoms of death became quite pronounced. I therefore discontinued my efforts. The deceased was lying close by a dirty waterhole in the paddock. There was some sandy mud in her nostrils and on her fingers. There was a slight abrasion of the skin in front of the chest, which probably arose from turning the body on its face on the grass in the efforts to restore animation. During the treatment a large quantity of dirty water came from the mouth and nostrils. From the symptoms noted I concluded that the deceased had met her death by drowning. Mr. Clarke's method of performing artificial respiration was perfectly correct.

Rosanna Rawnsley deposed : I am the wife of Wm. Rawnsley, of Wollongong, miner. The deceased is our daughter, Elizabeth Townsend Rawnsley. She is 10 years of age. I saw the deceased last alive some time between 10 and 11 o'clock this morning, When I missed her I went out after her to the paddock at the back of the house. She had not been well, and I was looking after her all the morning. When I went out I saw my son Arthur with Elizabeth’s hat in his hand. He told me he had picked it up out of the water. He further said : ' She has gone down to the bottom now.' I ran down to the water-hole but saw nothing. I sang out and then I fainted. When I came to I was on the children's bed in my own house, it was an hour or two afterwards before I saw the body. The deceased was subject to convulsion fits. She had a fit this morning before breakfast. The children are in the habit of playing at this hole. It is deep in the middle. I always considered it dangerous and tried to fill it up myself, but sometimes there were horses and cattle in this place. The fits used to last sometimes all day off and on. They came on quite suddenly. When a fit came on the child used to fall. She fell off a fence yesterday in one of these fits….The jury returned a verdict to the effect that deceased met her death by being accidently drowned.

RAYMOND v. RAYMOND

William Robert Raymond petitioned for a divorce from Ellen Raymond, formerly Anderson, on the ground of her adultery with George Peterson, who was joined as co-respondent. Petitioner deposed to having married the respondent in October, 1879, at Eskbank, according to the rites of the Church of England. They lived together till three years ago, when she left him. Peterson used to visit the house, and he objected to it. He had, as a matter of fact, put him out of the house about six months before the respondent went away.

Complainant, a motherly looking old lady, deposed that she had been married a couple of years. They had both been married previously, and each had contributions towards what should have been, but wasn't, a united and happy family. Martha's trouble was that she wouldn't live in a two roomed hut at Helensburg with her hubby and his eldest son. In October, 1903, she came to Sydney and had

RECEIVED ABOUT £1 PER WEEK

from him until September 21 last. He then came to town, and asked if she had any old rags to give him. She wanted to know what they were required for, and he said he would tell her if she promised not to let the children know.

She would not promise, and he then said, if she wanted to know so badly, he had- and he paused in speech and clashed the palms of his hands together vigorously several times “And what the divvil might that be?”' she inquired, and he then said, 'Oh, well. I've got the __.'

She cross-examined him as to how he encountered such a calamity down in the coal mining regions, and he said that, to tell the truth it wasn't the coal mines at all that did it ; that he came to town

Got gloriously drunk.

and next morning awoke in a strange house to find an old trollop breathing fumes of rum and eschalots into his earhole. He fled from the recumbent Venus, and had since been purchasing oils, ointments, medicines, pills, and surgical implements to erase the memory of that temptress from his heart, etc. Witness listened to his tale, and then said she believed he got the complaint off the girl with whom he lived before marrying respectably the second time. He denied it.

He earned about £3 per week, and as she could not live with him owing to his disgusting language and habits, she asked for an order for £1 per week.

Various medicines and powders were produced by complainant in support of her account of her husband's condition.

For the defence, defendant said that although his wife .

DECLINED TO SHAKE HIS RURAL LIFE,

he had supported her in Sydney; She left him because she said the country air did not agree with her. In September last, when he came to Sydney, she turned him out of the house, which she said was her son's. Her story of his suffering was untrue. All that was the matter with him was a sprain, for which he was being treated by Dr. Dixon, of Bulli. He offered to provide a proper house for her, but she refused it.

An order was made for 15s per week, with £2 7s l0d costs. Truth (Sydney, NSW : 1894 - 1954) Sunday 20 November 1904 p 3

OBITUARY.-It was our intention to have noticed, under this head, the death of the late Mrs. J. Redford, of this town, in our last issue, but owing t to the short time intervening between the sad event on Thursday last and our going to press, we were unable to do so. Mrs. Redford, who had attained her sixty-fifth year, was the youngest daughter of the late Rev. William Thorp, of Bristol, England, who in his day was regarded as only second to the Rev. Robert Hall, as the greatest pulpit and platform orator the Congregationalists of Bristol ever had, and his daughter inherited much of his talent in writing at least, she having written several small books of religious narrative, which attracted no small amount of attention at the time of their publication. She contributed several articles to the Band of Hope Review, Sydney, and in this town our own columns have often been enlivened by her facile pen, by contributions over her own signature or a nom de plume, and perhaps many of our readers will remember the vigour and power with which she espoused the cause of an insulted sister on a certain public occasion, as well as the profound sensation that one short letter of hers produced. Unfortunately the disease from which she suffered for many years, and which was the immediate cause of death, increased so much in virulence that for the last two or three years she was unable to write anything either of a literary or private character. Undisturbed by the cares of this changing world her body now rests in the grave, but her surviving friends have the assurance that her soul has joined her parents in the eternal mansions above, as her faith rested on Christ, the true foundation.

Mrs. .Elizabeth Redman

One -of the best known residents of Corrimal, Mrs. Elizabeth Redman, passed away on Wednesday at the residence of her daughter (Mrs. R. Gibson), Bon Accord st. Corrimal; at the age of 86 years. '

She was born in Victoria and with her husband, the late William Redman, came to the South Coast over 50 years ago. They first resided at Dapto, where Mr. Redman was employed in the old Dapto Smelting Works. About five years later they moved to Corrimal, where Mrs. Redman has resided ever since. Her husband died in 1914. She was a devout and energetic worker for the Corrimal Church of England, and was also amongst, the very active workers forthe Red Cross during the last war.

A woman of a kindly nature she was ever ready to assist anyone in trouble, and her services at times of sickness and distress, were often availed of by neighbours and friends throughout the district.

Husband’s obituary

In April last it was our melancholy duty to record the death of Mrs. Frances Reed, the wife of one of Bourke’s oldest residents, Mr. James Reed, of North Bourke. To-day it falls to our lot to announce the death of Mr. Reed himself, who at the ripe old age of 88 years, has gone to rejoin the faithful sharer of his life's pilgrimage during an uninterrupted partnership of 67 years. Mr. Reed was naturally in failing health at the time of his wife’s decease and never recovered from the shock of her lose. On Sunday he passed quietly away, having attained his 88th year, and was buried on Monday, the funeral being attended by a large concourse of his numerous descend ants and friends. Mr. Reed was born in 1810, in Staffordshire, and during his early youth had been a soldier in the 80th regiment. In 1833 he came with his wife (whom he had married three years previously) to New South Wales in the “Earl Grey,” and after various experiences reached Bourke 1862, and here he remained till the day of his death, covering a period of 36 years. Twelve children were born to him, nine of whom still survive and are hold in high esteem, while his other direct descendants’ number 86 grand children and over 40 great grand children.

In those days settlers, in that district had many difficulties to surmount— bad tracks to market, etc. It was not an uncommon thing for produce to be taken to Wollongong by pack horse. The   late Mrs. Rees resided there until about three years ago,, when she moved to West Wollongong, where she purchased a property. She leaves a family of four sons and three daughters, two sons having predeceased her. She was a good mother and a good neighbour. One who had known her for a long time said 'You cannot write too highly about her.  The remains were interred in the Wollongong Methodist cemetery yesterday, The Rev. Wesley Stocks, who officiated at the last sad rites, referred in feeling terms to the good qualities of the deceased, praising her   pioneering work. He mentioned that she had for years placed her home at the disposal of the Methodist ministers to hold religious services. Illawarra Mercury (Wollongong, NSW : 1856 - 1950) Friday 13 August 1937 p 5

GOLDEN WEDDING
MR. & MRS. W. REES

Mr. and Mrs. William Rees, of Main rd. Woonona, celebrated their golden wedding on Wednesday, when a family gathering was held at their residence. They received many presents and floral tributes as well as numerous telegrams and letters of congratulations. They were married in the Bexley Presbyterian Church by Rev. Hill, on August 15, 1894. Mrs. Rees, who was formerly, Miss Charlotte Louise Hoffman, was born in Balmain 72 years ago and Mr. Rees was born at Mt. Kembla, 77 years ago. Mr. Rees came to Woonona when he was 14 months old, and apart from a trip round the world has resided in Woonona ever since. For a number of years he carried on business as a butcher. Mr. Rees was the founder of the Woonona Bowling Club, which this year will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. He was president of the club for 12 years. Mr. and Mrs. Rees have raised a family of seven sons and two girls.

One son, Harry, was killed in the last war, and another son Jack, was accidentally killed at Port Kembla about two years ago. Two sons, Arthur and Tom, are serving with the A.I.F. Both Mr. and Mrs. Rees enjoy good health; and take an interest in many matters. Perhaps Mr. Rees' own summing-up is the most apt: 'We are still going strong and are good for at least another ten years, he said, when interviewed. Their many friends join in hoping that his forecast is correct. Illawarra Mercury (Wollongong, NSW : 1856 - 1950) Friday 18 August 1944 p 4

Obituary.

MRS. D. B. REES:

Deep regret was expressed in Wollongong on Tuesday afternoon, when it was learned that Mrs. D. B. Rees, of Church Street, had passed away that morning after a lengthy illness. The late Mrs. Rees, who was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. D. M'Donald, of Wollongong, was a native of the town, and had lived here all her life. She was a woman with a bright and beautiful personality, and many of the older residents can recall the many title's that they had the pleasure of listening to her sweet voice. As a singer of note a few years ago, her services were largely availed of for the concert platform, while her voice had gladdened many a sick bed. For a great number of years she was an enthusiastic member of the Congregational Church Choir, and in the early days of the Illawarra District Choir she was one of the leading soloists . Possessing a big heart many were her kindly deeds in the cause of charity. It can therefore be said of her that she was one of nature's ladies. She was 58years of age at the time of her death, and leaves a husband and two step-sons, and a daughter (Mrs. R. Moore) to mourn the loss of a most affectionate wife and mother, and to them we express our deep regret. A short service in connection with the funeral of the late Mrs. Rees was held in the Congregation Church at 1.13 pm., on Wednesday. Miss Campbell presided at the organ. The hymns, 'Peace, Perfect Peace,' and 'Nearer My God to Thee' were sung. Included among the mourners were Messrs. Harry and W. A. McDonald (brothers).

There was a narrow escape of fire at residence of Mr. J. H. Hawkins on Wednesday. The mother had gone out for some groceries, leaving her little boy 3 years old in the house. The little chap was playing with the fire, and; hearing his mother coming hurriedly he placed the firestick under the shelf, setting fire to the cretonne. Mrs. Reeson happened to be in the vicinity, and succeeded in putting out the blaze. Only for her timely action, the consequences must have been very- serious.

OBITUARY. MRS CATHERINE REGAN. ONE of the oldest residents of the district has passed away, in Mrs. Catherine Regan, on Saturday last, aged 80 years. A kindly soul-a humble and truly Christian spirit was hers, with a heart particularly warm for little children; one who had more than the instil share of trouble and sorrow, and suffered reverses when ease should have attended her declining years, but had a cheerfulness of spirit which helped her to bear them with piety and uncompliant. We publish the following obituary kindly Sent by a contributor:

The late Catherine Regan, Whose death took place at Randwick on Saturday last, at the ripe age of 80 years, was sister of the late John Feehan (Gerringong) and Matthew Feehan (Braidwood), and widow of the late John Regan, of Crawley Forest. She was a native of Rock of Cashel, County Tipperary, Ireland, and immigrated to Canada when a girl. After remaining for two years;, assisting for most part of that time in nursing fever patients in a Convent at Montreal, she immigrated to New South Wales, arriving in the colony in the year 1857. Some two years afterwards she married the late John Regan of Crawley Forest (son of the late Timothy Regan), at his residence, the ceremony being performed by the late Rev. Pere Young (who for many years previous to the R.C. Church being built in Kiama celebrated Holy Mass at the house of Timothy Regan, who at his death bequeathed that same farm and property to the R.C. Church). Mrs. Regan remained a resident of Kiama till about ten months ago. After being an inmate of Kiama Hospital for some time and receiving every care from the good Matron and nurse; she was removed to the “Little Sisters of the Poor,' where she peacefully passed away on the date mentioned, consoled by the kind administrations of the good Sisters, and after receiving the last sacraments of her Church from the attendant Chaplain. May she rest in peace. The Kiama Independent, and Shoalhaven Advertiser (NSW: 1863 - 1947) Saturday 3 October 1908 p 2

DISTRICT NEWS. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.) GERRINGONG. IT is my sad duty to record the death of two very old residents of this district, viz, Mrs. Regan, of Mount Pleasant, near Kiama,…Mrs. Regan's demise was, I understand, rather sudden, for she was well and attending to her domestic duties as usual a day or two previous; but, having been seized by a heavy cold, and being old and feeble, she succumbed to its effects on Friday last, and was interred in the Roman Catholic portion of the cemetery on the following day,-the Rev. Mr. Quinn officiating. The Kiama Independent, and Shoalhaven Advertiser (NSW : 1863 - 1947) Thursday 1 October 1874 p 2

Away back in the thirties, in a remote town land called Skisbereen, in the west of the County of Cork, Timothy O'Regan, with his wife and three sons (John, Daniel and Michael), carried on the occupation of farmers. Times were bad, very bad caused by the landholders having too much good land locked up for their own pleasure and sport. As a consequence, the land available for cultivation became scarce as the population increased, bringing in its wake high rents and no employment. Owing to this depression, and its consequent miseries, a number of honest men, who were willing to work these enclosed lands, joined in an agitation against the landowners. It was purely a provincial rising, and was apart from other matters that were disturbing the Irish people generally. This rising, however, had a special designation, and is quite familiar to students of Irish history; and, for taking part in that same, Timothy O'Regan found himself talking to himself one fine day in bonny New South Wales, with thousands of miles of sea between himself and his wife and family. He eventually found a home in Kiama, on the most picturesque spot in Australia, Mount Pleasant, and sent home in due course for his wife and family. Many people may have laughed at the simplicity and guilelessness of that homely pair and their three big, strong, innocent sons, as the latter grew into manhood ; but if we allow our memories to drift back to childhood days, we can well remember many kindly things said of Mr. and Mrs. Tim O'Regan. O'Regan's house gave food and shelter to the pioneer priests. The late Fathers Therry, Lucky and Young stayed there while wandering among their people in those pioneering days. Long before a Catholic Church was erected in the Kiama district Mass was celebrated in the old house on Mount Pleasant. And poor old Mrs. O'Regan had a heart, which she carried with her inside as well as outside the Church service she thoroughly believed in feeding those who came to pray, and she fed them. But, then, those were the good old days, when men had to be men and women loved to be women. In course of time Kiama got a Church erected, and Mr. and Mr. O'Regan worshipped there together, with their sons. Mr. and Mrs. O'Regan died many years ago. They were followed by Mr. John O'Regan, who married a sister of the late Mr. John Feehan, of the Crooked River, Gerringong, who left no family. Then Daniel and Michael resided together (neither of them having ever married) up to a few years ago, when Daniel died suddenly. Michael passed off quite “suddenly on Wednesday last, without a soul being near him to offer un a drink of water, or wipe the death dew front his brow. He must have been dead many hours before those whom one would expect to be near him in death's grasp to administer Christian consolation, came to claim his body. Then, strange to say, he was buried at North Kiama cemetery instead of with his father and mother and brothers in Gerringong, where the family grave and headstone, was for all those years kept ready to receive him. Verily, this is a cold, cruel, selfish world after all. By his death I am given to understand the good Sisters of St. Joseph, the resident Priest, whoever he may be from time to time, and the Cardinal and his successors, benefit by his last will and testament. If innocence, inoffensiveness, honesty of purpose, and a true sense of Christianity, insofar as his light guided him, can make a man as a little child before the Judgment Throne, then it augurs well for the future as regards Michael O'Regan. May he rest in peace. The Kiama Independent, and Shoalhaven Advertiser (NSW : 1863 - 1947) Tuesday 5 September 1905 p 2

MISS CATHERINE REID.

A Kiama resident of many years standing passed away on Saturday night at the age of 76 years, in the person of Miss Catherine Reid. For some years since the first stroke of paralysis she received, Miss Reid has been a confirmed invalid, and since the third and final attack about a month ago she has been unconscious.

Previous to her retirement from business Miss Reid, with her sister, carried on dress-making in Kiama, and was respected by all who know her,. Her disposition in heath was a kindly one, and she was a consistent and faithful member of the Roman Catholic Church. The Rev, Father Sheridan conducted the service at her residence in Terralong street, and at the gravesite in Jamberoo, where Miss Reid's mortal remains were buried beside those of her own brothers.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RAILWAY.

A fatal accident of a very melancholy nature occurred on the railway line yesterday forenoon, by which Mrs. Robert Sparke Reid, of Fairy Meadow, was killed instantaneously, as may be said. As the milk train was proceeding from the Wollongong direction about 11 o'clock, the guard or driver or both noticed a woman walking along the line near Towradgi Creek. At that time the train had passed Towradgi Lane, and was running along the incline toward the woman. The engine whistle was blown loudly and continuously to warn her of the approaching train, but instead of leaving the line, as was expected she would do, she stopped between the rails when she reached the bridge, and as she did so, the engine struck her, throwing her several feet into the air, and in falling she dropped over the side of the bridge, a depth of 25 feet. The driver stopped the train at once, and all the train hands and several passengers rushed to render what assisttance they could. Some neighbors also, who noticed the accident, did likewise. When reached, the woman was breathing slightly, but expired immediately. As far as could be seen, she had only one small bruise on the forehead, but the force with which she was struck by the train and the heavy fall off the bridge could not have failed to have injured her much more than was thus apparent — a supposition borne out by the fact that she died so soon from the effects. The body was conveyed at once to the residence of her daughter (Mrs. J. Wilson), which was not far distant, and probably to which the deceased was going at the time she was so suddenly overtaken by death, her object in taking the railway route, doubtless, being to save distance in walking. It is understood that the deceased was very deaf, and that being so, would account for her evidently not hearing the railway whistle, which was sounded to warn her off the line. The name of the guard of the train is Benjamin Bragg, and that of the driver, James Bell. Mr. C. F. Smith, the coroner, who was a passenger on the train, decided to hold an inquest concerning the accident this forenoon. A representative of the Mercury was also on the train, and witnessed the accident. The deceased lady, who was well into years and was an old and respected resident of this end of the district, leaves a husband and numerous grown up family to mourn her sad and sudden death.

Death of Mrs. M. Reid,

— Mrs. Martha Reid, mother of Mr. Alex. G. Reid, licensee of the Albion Hotel, died early on Sunday morning lost at the advanced age of 77. The deceased was a fine type of the north-country Irishwoman with all the traditional attributes of personal character, and was much esteemed for her genial and charitable yet unostentatious disposition as well as for her ready fund of good native wit and humour. The old lady, who had been a widow a long time, came out to N.S.W. from her native county (Donegal) thirty years ago to keep house for Mr. Alex. Reid (her only surviving son), with whom she continued to reside after his marriage

She enjoyed good health until a few months ago, and her peaceful life ended peacefully during her sleep in the early hours of a peaceful Sabbath morning. Mr. Reid, who is now left with no relatives in Australia, has received messages of condolence of many friends in city and country.

The interment took place on Monday at Nowra general cemetery in the presence of a large number of sympathising friends. The Nowra Leader (NSW : 1909 - 1939) Friday 2 February 1912 p 6

MISS MARY REID.

On Saturday morning, at her residence in Terralong street, there passed peacefully, away in the 91st year of her age one who has watched the growth of the district from its settlement almost.

Between 50 and 60 years Miss Reid has lived in it, respected and beloved by all who knew her for her saintliness of character, cheerful disposition and kindliness of feeling towards her fellow creatures. It might safely be said few if any heard Miss Reid speak evil or unkindly of anyone; malice or charitableness could never be associated with her. To the last her intellect was clear, and it was interesting to hear her talk of the early days. Infirmity of body prevented her getting about, or even to her church (of which she was a devoted member) for the last year, but her interest never flagged in the life and people about her or the topics of the day. Her grand niece (Miss Ryan) was unremitting in her care and attention, as was also Dr. Fox as her medical adviser. Miss Reid was born in Belfast, Ireland, and was buried beside others of her family at Jam beroo on Sunday last….

OBITUARY
MRS. B. REID.

The death occurred on Sunday last, at her residence, Boronia, Frenchman's-road, Randwick, of Mrs. Sarah Ann Reid, wife of Mr. Ben Reid, late of Bowral and Wilde's Meadow. Death was due to heart failure, and was quite unexpected. Deceased had been in her usual good health all day, and about five o'olock in the afternoon was left alone in the house for only a few minutes by her youngest daughter, Marjorie, on whose return it was found that Mrs. Reid, had suddenly collapsed and died. She was a native of this district, being the eldest daughter of the late Mr. Barber, of Manchester Square. For many years she resided at Wilde's Meadow and afterwards at Bowral for some considerable time in both places— and in fact all through the district— she had many friends, to whom the news of her death came as a great shock.

She was 69 years of age, and leaves a husband and family of five daughters (Mrs. C. Brown, Bowral ; Mrs. Norman Jones, Redfern ; Mrs. W. P. Cornes, Wallsend; Mrs. W. Ross, Springwood ; and Miss Marjorie Reid Randwick) and one son (Mr. Charles Reid, Randwick) to mourn their loss. The remains were interred in the Church of England Cemetery at Waverley on Tuesday.

A MINER'S WIFE.

John James Remilton, a coal miner, of Balmain, petitioned for a divorce from Margaret Remilton, formerly Lewis, on the ground of her adultery with Robert Whiteall, who was joined as co-respondent.

The petitioner, who was represented by Mr. Bertram, said he married the respondent in May, 1892, at Bulli, according to the Anglican rites. In May, 1904, they were living at Corrimal, on the South Coast, and he put in an application for the position of a surgeon's assistant in the navy. He came to Sydney, and after he returned the respondent asked him how he got on. He said they, told him he was too old. She remarked, 'Just your luck.' Shortly after he saw his wife take up a glass, and swallow the contents. Having smelt the glass, he asked her what she was drinking the medicine for, and she told him -that the day petitioner left for Sydney she went to Wollongong to a dance, and when she was returning something occurred.' Petitioner asked, 'Who is the person?' She answered, giving the man's name, and then petitioner

Observed, 'Do you think that's the duty of a wife — to be carrying on with other men during my absence?' He added that he would see more about it, and she remarked there was no occasion, as it was as much her fault as it was the man she had mentioned. She asked him to forgive- her, assuring him that she would never misconduct herself again, and he did, for the sake of the children.

About three months after, while he was employed at the Coaldale Colliery, the correspondent, who was a mine laborer, used to have his meals at their house. . One day petitioner went to work, and on his return he found a note lying on the bedroom table. It was Inhis wife's handwriting, and it began, 'I'll be a few miles away by the time you get this — over the water.' She also wrote, 'You need never expect to get me back again.'

Petitioner subsequently heard something, and proceeded to Cataract, where his wife was. In the conversation he had with her she said she was living with a man she loved. Petitioner said, 'A beer sparrer.'

His Honor: What's a beer sparrer? — Well, a man who does nothing but loaf about the town, cadging beers. What did she say? — 'I can please myself who I go with.'

Other evidence was given to the effect that the respondent and co-respondent had occupied the same room, and that she had been heard- to say she would stick to Whiteall as long as she had breath.

A decree nisi was granted, to be moved: absolute in six months. Evening News (Sydney, NSW : 1869 - 1931) Wednesday 25 March 1908 p 7

Mr and Mrs. Reynolds were of the fine old pioneer people and at their old home at Crawley Forest, helped by their industry and progress, district development. Mr. Reynolds was known as a great grower, and an authority on farm production. Kindly neighbours, true and staunch friends, they were worthy the fine old British stock from which they came, whose integrity and sterling character gained recognition and honest esteem from all who knew them. For some 10 years Mrs. Reynolds has lived with her daughter in Kiama, year afflicted with illness, in which she has received the devoted attention of her daughter, Mrs. W.

Child Desertion.— At the Police Court on Thursday, a child about 6 years of age, named William Reynolds, was brought up for protection, having been found wandering about Mount Pleasant by the police. It appears that the mother of the little follow has for some time past been confined in the Hospital for Insane, and that his father left the district about a fortnight since, leaving three younger children to the care of persons living in the neighbourhood of Mount Pleasant, the child in question being left to shift for himself as best he could. He received food from the charitably disposed residents, and sometimes slept in their houses at night, whilst on other occasions he spent the night either in the bush or in front of the furnace door at the Mount Pleasant colliery. The Police Magistrate ordered the little fellow, who appeared quite unconcerned about the matter, to be sent on board the Vernon. Illawarra Mercury (Wollongong, NSW : 1856 - 1950) Saturday 25 May 1889 p 2

(Any vagrant or destitute child under the age of sixteen could be directed by two Justices of the Peace to attend an Industrial School. The Vernon was a ship which was used to provide a combination of moral training, nautical and industrial training and instruction, and elementary schooling.)

John Bernard Reynolds was charged with deserting his three children, aged respectively four months, two years, and four years.

Defendant said that the infant, had died on Saturday last, at the residence of Mrs. Looney; he left his back-pay, amounting to £3 10s, with Mrs. Looney when he left about three weeks go, towards the support of the children; he always intended to pay for the support and education of the children, and intended to send money regularly for that purpose.

Defendant was ordered to pay 10s weekly towards the support of the two surviving children which payments to be made to Senior sergeant Grieve, the first to be made June 10. Illawarra Mercury (Wollongong, NSW : 1856 - 1950) Tuesday 28 May 1889 p 2
