DEATHS

McPHERSON. - November 5, at Mudgee, Lilla, relict of late Ewen McPherson, and daughter of Dr. J. E. Stacy, formerly of Newcastle, N.S.W., aged 74 years.

MRS. LILLA MACPHERSON.

We regret to have to chronicle the death of Mrs. Lilla McPherson, which took place on Tuesday last at noon. The deceased lady's husband predeceased her by a number of years, he dying in the year 1880. The late Mrs. McPherson was a native of New South Wales. She was born on the 1st of August, 1838, and, was therefore, 74 years of age. She had resided in Mudgee for the past 23 years, and her many acts of benevolence and charity endeared her to all with whom she came into contact. For some two years the old lady had been pretty well continuously ill, but, prior to that time, she enjoyed good health. Three sons are left to mourn the loss of an affectionate mother, viz., Ewen Fergus (Sydney), Herbert J. (solicitor, Mudgee), and Arthur Fergus (Tingha). The remains were laid to rest in the Church of England cemetery yesterday morning, the Rev. W. J. Dunstan reading the burial service. Wreaths were forwarded by Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Walker, Miss Richards, members of the Mudgee Club, Mrs. Bentzen, Mr. and Mrs. H. J. McPherson and Miss Christie Cox. Many letters and telegrams of sympathy were also sent.
