MINIMAY NOTES
Widespread regret was expressed throughout this and surrounding districts
when it became known that a very highly respected resident, in the person of
Mrs. Elizabeth McINTYRE, had passed away on Wednesday evening at about 9
p.m.. Deceased had been suffering from gastric influenza, and had been
confined to her bed for only a few days, her condition being not regarded
as serious, therefore, when death occurred it came as a great shock to her
relatives. Hearing a noise in her room about 9 p.m. her brother, Mr.
McLAUGHLIN, went to see what was the matter,. He found his sister in a
sitting position with her head inclined to one side, approaching her he put
his hand on her shoulder, and she collapsed immediately. An inquest was
held before Mr. W. MITCHELL, J.P., on January 7. Dr. BOURKE, of Goroke,
held a postmortem, and a verdict that deceased died of cardiac syncope, due
to fatty degeneration of the heart, was given. Mrs. McINTYRE had resided
in Minimay for a number of years, residing with her brother, Mr. Robert
McLAUGHLIN, having previously lived at Camperdown, and was 63 years of age
at the time of her death. She leaves a grown up family of sons-- Messrs.
William (Camperdown), Norman and Robert (Minimay), and Duncan (Yea)--- and
daughters, for whom the very deepest sympathy is felt. The internment took
place in Minimay cemetery, the Rev. DREWETT, Apsley, reading the burial
service. About 35 vehicles and several horsemen formed the cortege, which
followed the remains to the cemetery.
