Note: Death of Mrs. M. Sheridan.

Death of Mrs. M. Sheridan. Death has laid its harrowing hand heavily on the district residents within the last few months, the latest to pass away being Mrs. M. Sheridan, of Glen Lee, Narrango. The deceased lady had been in indifferent health for some time, and about ten days before death a severe form of influenza attacked her, which she was unable to shake off, and being of an advanced age she weakened very quickly. The family were called to the bedside, and despite all that medical care and nursing could do, Mrs. Sheridan succumbed to the attack and passed away at 8 o'clock on Wednesday morning. The deceased outlived her late husband by a number of years. She was the daughter of the late Mr. Dewey, of Growee, and a sister of Messrs. H. and G. Dewey, of that place. She and the late Mr. M. Sheridan settled at Glen Lee about 30 years ago, where they, by frugality and hard work created a comfortable home stead which has enabled them to leave to their children a comfortable competency. The late Mrs. Sheridan is survived by seven children, two daughters and five sons. The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon, the cortege moving from Glen Lee at half-past one. A long procession of relatives and friends followed the remains to their last resting place, the last sad rites being performed by Father Corbett, the parish priest (Mudgee Guardian and North-Western Representative, Thursday 20 June 1918, page 25).

MR J. KING The death occurred of Mr. J. King of Rosedale, Clandulla, on April 16, at the age of 69. The deceased had been an invalid for many years as the result of an accident. He was returning to his home, when his sulky capsized and he was out in the open all night in bitterly cold weather. He never recovered from the effects of the fall and the exposure, and was practically confined to his home ever since. Mr. King was well known throughout the district where he resided with his family for many years. He leaves a widow to mourn his loss, three sons grown to manhood, and a daughter of 14.

OBITUARY MR. JOHN FELIX KING The death occurred of a well-known and highly respected resident of Clandulla, Mr John Felix King, on April 16, at the age of 59 years, at his residence, Rosedale, Clandulla. Although Mr King had been suffering for many years, his death came as a shock to his many relatives and friends. He possessed a wonderful personality and was always ready to help in any deserving causes, and his many good qualities endeared him to all. His death marks the passing of a good man, one whose loss the district could ill afford. The funeral took place to the Rylstone cemetery, the remains being taken from his home to St. Malachi's R.C. Church, where the Rev. Father Eviston conducted a most impressive service. The large number of mourners was evidence of the esteem and affection in which Mr. King was held. No fewer than one hundred and twenty motor cars followed the cortege, the funeral being one of the largest ever seen in Rylstone, relatives and friends travelling in some cases, hundreds of miles to attend. The coffin was laden with beautiful wreaths and flowers. The Rev. Father Eviston who was in constant attendance during Mr. King's illness, also officiated at the graveside. Left to mourn their loss are a widow, three sons, Kenneth, John and Reginald, a daughter, Mollie, and a sister and a ber. Mudgee Guardian, Friday 9 May 1930, p. 2. Obituary John Felix King
