Obituary - The Register, 2nd October 1925, p. 11

Mrs. Mary Emma Pank, who has died, at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. G. W. Badman, at the age of 81 years, was born in Taunton, Somersetshire, and came to Australia with her parents when only three years of age. She was twice married, her first-husband having been Mr. G. E. A. Hulbert, whose sons Messrs. Maurice G. Hulbert (Victoria), and B. T. Hulbert— survive. After a period of widowhood she was married to the late Mr. George Thomas Pank, for many years building surveyor to the Adelaide Corporation, and for nearly 30 years secretary to the Masonic Lodge of Truth, No. 8. She and her husband, with their young musical family, were ardent workers at St. John's Church, Halifax street, Adelaide, during the incumbency of the Rev. F. S. Poole, and the late Canon Hopcraft. Many charitable and other worthy causes largely benefited through their efforts. All those who were privileged to come into close contact with the late Mrs. Pank learned to love and respect her, and acquaintance often developed into lifelong friendship. She has left three sons— Messrs. Seymour (of Spicers & Detmolds), Arthur (Electric Supply Co.), and Harold (Laubman & Pank); and four daughters— Mesdames C. Pavia, P. H. Prosser, G. W. Badman, and Miss Betty Pank. There are also 28 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.
