DEATH — STROUD.

Another of the few remaining old colonists, and one who was widely known and highly respected for a number of years, passed away in the person of Mrs. Mary McIntyre, widow of the late Mr. James McIntyre, of Stroud. The deceased lady was a native of Kirriemuir, Scotland, and in company with her late husband arrived in New South Wales in the October of 1841. Soon after they landed they proceeded to Patrick's Plains, where their first child, Mr. James McIntyre, J.P., was born. Not caring for the wild bush life, which abounded where the handsome town of Singleton now stands, or their companions, nearly all of whom were government men and their wives, Mr. and Mrs. McIntyre shortly after removed to Dungog, where Mr. McIntyre worked at his trade, as blacksmith, in conjunction with old Mr. Tierney, of Dungog. Mr. and Mrs. McIntyre had not long resided in Dungog when the A. A. Company's blacksmith shop at Dungog became vacant. Mr. McIntyre applied for the post, and received the appointment, whereupon they removed to Stroud, where they resided till death called them away. The deceased Mr. and Mrs. McIntyre were members of the Presbyterian Church - at the time of his death Mr. McIntyre filled the position of elder, which is now filled by his son, Mr. James McIntyre - but their religious views were of the most liberal kind, as they were regular attendants at the Church of England, and also subscribers to the funds of that church, and also to the Wesleyan Church. The deceased lady enjoyed the friendship of all the incumbents of the Church of England, who have been stationed here ; and during her illness, which lasted over fifteen months, had the pleasure of once more on earth meeting with the three former Ministers of the Stroud parish. A few days before death released her, the Rev. G. F. Rushforth administered the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper to her and the members of her family. She passed peacefully away on Thursday night last, and her remains were interred in the Church of England cemetery, beside those of her de- parted husband. She leaves behind her a grown-up family of five sons and three daughters, and a number of grand-children, and one great-grandchild. At the time of her death Mrs. McIntyre was 72 years and 6 months old, having been borne in 1819. ^{[7] [8]}
