THE death of Miss Margaret Summers took place on 2^nd inst. at “Lynwood,” the residence of her sister-in-law, Mr. G. Turner.

Connors, and later by her nieces, Mrs. J. Ryan and Mrs. G. Turner. … She leaves to mourn their loss four step-sisters, Mesdames J. Connors (Moruya), Wallace (Berry), Jones (Rockdale), T.

THE death of Mrs. White, of Nelligen, on Wednesday, removes from our midst one of the old and respected identities of the district. Deceased, whose age was 79 years, conducted the Steam Packet Hotel with her husband for a number of years, and later the store at Nelligen. Selling out, the family lived in retirement in Sydney, afterwards coming to Moruya. About six months ago they again took over the store-keeping business at Nelligen. Mrs. White was a daughter of the late Mrs. Brown, of Yarragee. Her sister, Mrs. Thomas Mooney, predeceased her a number of years ago, as did also her brothers, Messrs. Thomas, Patrick and Joseph Brown. Mr. John Brown, of Randwick, is one of three brothers living. … The Rev. Father McCormack performed the last sad rites at the graveside in Moruya.
