Mrs. H. Archer, Ulan

The death occurred in the Gulgong District Hospital on the 19th instant of Mrs. Maude Margaret Archer, wife of Mr. Herbert Archer, of Ulan. Deceased, who was only 49 years of age, had been ailing for some time, and her death was not unexpected. She was a daughter of the late Thomas Haynes, of Uarbry, and, after her marriage, settled at Ulan, where she became well known and very popular. She leaves to mourn the loss of a good wife and mother, her husband (Mr. Herbert Archer) and three sons (Stanley, Errol and Vincent) and one daughter (Merle), all of Ulan. The remains were conveyed to Ulan for burial, and a service was held in the Church of England by the Rev. Robert Douglas, of Gulgong. Practically every person in the district was present and many were unable to gain admittance. After the service the funeral moved off to the Ulan Cemetery, where the Rev. R. Douglas again officiated at the graveside. The funeral arrangements were in the hands of Mr. D. Whale, of Gulgong Motor Funerals. Our sympathy is extended.
