She remained conscious up till Thursday last, when a second stroke occurred and death resulted a few hours later. The deceased was a native of Singleton, and came of some grand old types of pioneers. She married the late Mr. Thomas Mumford at Havilah 60 years ago, and later they resided at Camboon for nearly 40 years.
