OBITUARY MRS. W. J. BROWN. With sincere sympathy for those bereaved, we regret to chronicle the death of a highly-esteemed pioneer of Bulingary, in the person of Mrs. Islett Margaret Macleay Brown, wife of Mr. W. J. Brown. About three years ago Mrs. Brown underwent an operation, but had been ill ever since, spending almost the last six months in "Jalna" Hospital, where death relieved her of her sufferings on the 18th July. The interment took place in the Methodist Cemetery, Bowraville, on the following day. Rev. A. Palmer officiating. The late Mrs. Brown was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Coulter, of Bowraville. She was born at East Kempsey 59 years ago, was married in October, 1900, in Bowraville, where she lived for one year, spending the remaining years at the homestead at Bulingary. She leaves a sorrowing husband, five daughters and two sons—Mrs. Les Marks (Mascot), Mrs. Joseph Lack (Wellington), Mrs. W. H. Rolleston (North Arm, Bowraville), Mrs. W. Ulrick (Bulingary), Mrs. A. Chapman (at Bulingary home), Cecil Brown (Taylor's Arm), Fred Brown (Medlow); also 20 grandchildren. All members of the family were present at the Bulingary home on Sunday last.
