MRS. MARTHA HOLDEN
At 4 o'clock on Saturday morning Mrs. Martha Holden, wife of Mr. Thomas Holden, of Tinonee, passed away as the result of a stroke suffered the previous day.
The late Mrs. Holden, who was well respected and held in high esteem by her neighbours, was 63 years of age, and was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Slater, of Wang Wauk.
She was born at Bullahdelah, and in 1902 (43 years ago) was married to Mr. Holden, at Tinonee by the late Rev. S. P. Stewart. They had resided there ever since and Mrs. Holden's family welfare and home duties were her chief concern.
