Death of Mrs Newling

A kind and cheerful old lady passed away on Saturday afternoon in the person of Mrs Elizabeth Newling, who was well-known and familiar among many people of the town.

Seventy-nine years of age, Mrs Newling had been in ill-health for a long time, in fact had not been well since her husband passed away some three years ago.

Mrs Newling was a friend of children, and it gave her great pleasure to hold little conversations with children on their way to and from school. She took every interest in local affairs during her more active days, but was scarcely seen out other than within the precincts of her cottage in Union Terrace.

Gifted with that remarkable old-fashioned disposition, the deceased was fond of speaking of the bygone days and events. A feeble figure for some time, many will remember her by her keen sense of sympathy, her affectionate friendship and her cheery smile.

The deceased was laid to rest at Layston on Thursday afternoon.
