Personal Notes:

Obituary. Daughter of John and Mary A. Craft
The death took place early on Sunday morning, at the residence of her sister-in-law (Mrs. J. Campbell, Darlow-street), of Mrs. R. Morriss, wife of Mr. Richard Morriss, farmer, of Downside, from puerperal fever, at the age of 37 years. The late Mrs. Morriss leaves a family of eight children, the eldest being 17 years of age, and the youngest six weeks.

The deceased was a daughter of Mr. John Craft of Wagga. The funeral took place on Monday morning, moving from the residence of Mrs. Campbell and was very largely attended. The bereaved family received many beautiful floral tributes and expressions of sympathy. The Rev. Chas. Bell conducted the service at the house and officiated at the graveside. The funeral arrangements were conducted by Messrs. M'Intosh Bros.
