This grand old lady was 85 years of age, and lived in the Rylstone district nearly all her life and her husband predeceased her 11 years ago. Mrs. Farrar had not enjoyed good health for some time, a stroke being the cause of death. The late Messrs. Jake and W. Jackson, Mudgee, were bers.

The deceased lady will be greatly missed by her family for whom the deepest sympathy is expressed. The funeral was largely attended and the grandsons of the deceased acted as pallbearers. The Rev. W.
