OBITUARY.
MRS. AMELIA JANE CORNFORD
AYR, Nov. 17. ,
The Grim Reaper has been active of late among several of the old pioneers, and the latest to succumb was Mrs. Amelia Jane Cornford, who had been in this district from the very early days of Ayr. Born in Gillingham, County Kent, England; the late Mrs. Cornford, in company with her husband, emigrated to this country in 1886, arriving by the "Dacca" in that year. Their first ten years were spent at Lochinvar during Mr. J. Gordon's time, and since then they had been resident in the Lower Burdekin. Mrs. Cornford and her husband had spent 42 years in this district. Her husband was superintendent of the Presbyterian Sunday school, and also the Juvenile Rechabites, for many years. The late Mrs. Cornford and Mr. Cornford celebrated their golden wedding on January 21st of this year. Mrs. Cornford had suffered from indifferent health for some years, and passed away at her home at 12.30 a.m. Tuesday, November I5th.
Her husband, one daughter (Mrs; Ellen M. Darwen) and one son (Mr. J. T. Cornford) are left to mourn, also several grandchildren.
The funeral, which took place yesterday morning, was well attended.
