Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser 2 Oct 1823
At the residence of her mother in George-street, Sydney, after an indisposition of some few months, Mrs. WILLS, in her 21st year. This amiable young lady was the eldest daughter of Mrs. Reibey. In June, 1822, she was united to Mr. Thomas Wills, to whom she has bequeathed a pledge of the tenderest affection— a sweet little girl. Shortly prior to her confinement, about four months since, Mrs. Wills caught a violent cold, which fastened on the lungs, and originated a rapid consumption. We have not much occasion to say, that the deceased is deservedly lamented ; the many mental adornments, and attractive virtues, with which she was gifted, will long remain cherished in the bosom of her numerous relatives, and host of surviving friends. To delineate the grief of the astonished widower, and young father, is a task to which our pen is quite incompetent.
" HER SUN IS GONE DOWN WHILE IT WAS YET DAWN."
