Mrs. Mary Jane Oldfield The death of Mrs. Mary Jane Oldfield, which sad event occurred at her home in Inglis street on Tuesday evening last, came as a great shock to relatives and friends. Although she had been slightly indisposed for a short period, no serious results were an-ticipated, but the fates willed otherwise, and the end came as stated. Deceased, who was 70 years of age, was a kindly, generous soul, and delighted in the performance of good deeds. For a great many years she resided in the Stony Pinch district, where her late husband (Mr. J. C. Oldfield) was held in the very highest esteem by all classes of the community. She reared a family of seven sons and daughters, who reflected the highest possible credit on her and they are among the most worthy residents of our district. To these and other sorrowing ones the "Guardian" extends its deepest sympathy. The funeral took place to the Church of England portion of the Cudgegong cemetery this morning, the remains being laid to rest beside those of her late husband. The Rev. Canon Walker conducted an impressive service at the church and at the graveside. The arrangements were in the hands of Messrs. J. C. Swords and Son. Mudgee Guardian, Thursday 2 June 1938, p. 3.
