Obituary.

THE death took place last week, under very sad circumstances of Mrs Nash, wife of Mr George Nash, of Rylstone. Mr Nash's father, who is still resident in Rylstone, is a Hawkesbury native, and is well-known to many Windsor and Richmond folk. The late Mrs Nash, who had only been married about 12 months, was much esteemed by all who knew her (Windsor and Richmond Gazette, Saturday 20 March 1897, page 9).

DEATH OF MR. LLOYD, SEN. A well-known district pioneer passed to the great unknown on Friday last, in the person of Mr. J. Lloyd, sen. The deceased gentleman is too well known to need any biography here. In life he was a straight, honest as the sun, and in every way a sterling, upright man : his word was his bond, and his honor was a safe-guard against any reproach. John Lloyd, of Coomber, was a household name in the district. The family, 12 in number, I would not be quite sure, have all reached adult stage and are worthy and respected residents. The deceased was an octogenarian and up till a few months ago never knew what ill-health was. But advancing years had at last made themselves felt, and an internal trouble set in, and of such a nature that only an operation could relieve (stone trouble). But the old gentleman refused, preferring to see it out, as he explained it. Up to the last the deceased, though suffering acute pain, kept in good spirits. He paid the last debt of nature on Friday evening, and thus has an honest and highly respected district pioneer gone to his long rest, beloved and reverenced by his family, and mourned by a public with whom he had the closest of friendship. His remains were interred in the Church of England portion of the local cemetery, the Rev. Chivers performing the last sad rites of the Church. A very large concourse followed the hearse - one of the largest ever seen. To the bereaved family, relatives and friends I extend a sincere sympathy in their affliction.
