CASINO, Sunday. — The funeral took place to-day of Mrs. Esther Ellem, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. Robertson, West-street, on Saturday after noon, following a long illness.

She is survived by two sons, Alfred Ellem (Lake Illawarra) and H. O. Ellem (A.I.F.), three daughters, Mesdames S. Hansen (Kyogle), A Robertson (Casino), and C. O'Brien (Lismore). Sisters are Mesdames W. Crawley (Casino), W. Dolby (Evans Head), G. Fairbairn (Lismore), J. Thurgate ((Lismore), J. Ellem (Grafton), J. Fogwell (Sydney), and J. Nicholls (Sydney). Brothers are Messrs. Harry Tapper (Mullumbimby) and Edward Tapper (A.I.F.).
Following a service at St, Mark's Church of England this afternoon, interment took place in Casino cemetery. Rev. G. Stuart Watts officiated at the church and at the graveside. The funeral arrangements were in the hands of Trevor D. Bevan.
