ROUND SWAMP. (From Our Own Correspondent). I regret to report the death of Miss Ada Lillian Freestone, which took place at her parents' residence, Kangaroo Flat, on Thursday afternoon. The deceased was born in the home in which her death, took place. She was 25 years of age, and had been ill for some weeks. For some time she was an inmate of the Lewisham hospital, and only returned home two weeks. ago. The funeral took place on Friday afternoon, and was largely attended by relatives and friends. The remains were laid to rest in the C. of E. portion of the Capertee cemetery, the last sad rites being read by the Rev. J. Douglass, of Kandos. Deepest sympathy, is extended to the relatives of deceased (Lithgow Mercury, Wednesday 15 December 1926, page 4).
