Obituary
Our Clear Lake correspondent writes--On Tuesday, the 15th inst., Miss HILL,
an elderly resident of Clear Lake and sister of Mrs Thomas HAIR of Lakeside,
passed away. The deceased lady, who was 79 years of age, had been ailing
for some time, and with all the attention given by the household, and extra
care of a special nurse, the end came quietly and gently, thus removing one
more friend from our midst. Though through insufficient health Miss HILL had
not generally moved much in public, yet one place, that of divine worship,
was seldom vacant when her strength would allow. The funeral took place at
the local cemetery on Thursday, when a number of friends gathered to honour
the last service, which was read by Mr J.R. EDMONDS, both at the home and
graveside. Messrs John, Harry, and Frank HAIR and Mr W. DOWNING (nephews)
were pall-bearers, whilst the funeral arrangements were undertaken by Messrs
OUTTON and BOYLE, of Horsham.
