Personal Notes:
The Tumut and Adelong Times 30 Jun 1931
OBITUARY MRS. W. GEAGHAN. On Saturday at. 10 p.m. Gundagai lost another of those redoubtable pioneers whose years trials and privations in her early days hardened them for a life of longevity. The last to cross the Rubicon was Mrs Gearghan aged 87 years, relict of the late William Geaghan one of the early drivers of Cobb and Co's coaches, who predeceased her by about 6 years. A chill which turned to a more serious trouble to which she succumbed. She was a daughter of the late Thomas Roughan and was born in County Clare, Ireland, coming to Australia to join the service of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Lynch, parents of Mr. A. W. Lynch, of Bombowlee. She was married in Tummut 0n Sept. 4, 1868. The surviving family are Mr. John Geaghan (Mt. Adrah)., Miss M. Geaghan (Gundagai), Mrs. J. Whitticker (Wagga), Mrs. A. O'Connor (Sydney), and Mr. E. Geaghan (Bega), together with 24 grandchildren and 13 greatchildren . The interment took place in the Gundagai Cemetery yesterday.
