Obituary—We deeply regret to record the death of Mrs Alice Sherwood, who passed away at 2, Kings-road, on Saturday evening, at the age of 42 years. The deceased lady was taken ill about six weeks ago with gastritis and congested liver, but apparently was making good progress until last Tuesday week, when she suffered a relapse, and becoming gradually weaker passed peacefully away on Saturday about 5.45p.m. She leaves a husband and two children to mourn their loss, and and much sympathy is felt with them in their bereavement. The funerl took place yesterday afternoon at the cemetery, the Rev. T James (Curate) officiating. The coffin, which was of polished elm with brass fittings, bore the inscription:- Alice Sherwood Died December 8th 1917 Aged 42 years.
