THE PASSING OF A DISTRICT PIONEER. There passed away at St. Mary's township last Sunday an old and respected resident of this district in the person of Mrs. Nevell, sen. The deceased lady had, until a short time ago, resided at her pioneer home, Carwell, with her husband and family, but a change was thought advisable and the deceased moved down country, after a life long residence at the old home, where she had seen the ups and downs or many things. She was a typical country woman, full of all the warmth and homeliness that is a heritage to the really genuine bush-woman. Carwell, in her day, was a welcome home and refuge to many a benighted traveller, and be neath its hospitable roof many an old fireside yarn has been spun and hours lulled away into midnight. One would indeed unfold a history if all could he written of Grandfather Nevell and his staunch partner, but we must not infringe. The late Mrs Nevell had to set her sons (John, Arthur and Oscar) and daughters (Mrs. Feridge, Mrs. Ingle, of Sydney, Mrs. Weatherly, of St. Mary's, and Miss Nevell) all successfully launched in life, and that is a satisfaction that was valued very highly by the good old soul, whose mortal remains were brought to Rylstone on Tuesday morning last, and after being received by the Rector, the Rev. Chivers, and the church service being rendered at St. James, were subsequently taken to the family cemetery at Carwell, where the last sad rites were conducted by tlie Rector amid a large and sorrowful assemblage of relatives and friends. Death hath its agony, its sting, and torture, but balm and consolation, must come with the thought that a long and honored life has been ended, and that amidst the struggles of her early life, in the hearts of her surviving relatives, she is at rest. Much sympathy has been extended to the bereaved family in their hour of sad affliction, and I join with the many in my tribute of sorrow to the ones who have lost their friend.
