AN OLD IDENTITY.

The many friends of Mrs Jamieson, a. lady well-known and respected throughout the district, will be grieved to hear of her death, which took place at the residence of her daughter, Mrs F. M. Perry, yesterday morning. Deceased, who had reached the advanced age of 87 years, was possessed of remarkable vitality, and until quite recently she was able to get about. She possessed a most genial disposition, and her one object in life was to do what she could to improve the lot of those around her. She was a regular attendant at St. Andrew’s, and her presence will be missed by the congregation of that church, by whom she was greatly beloved. Mrs Jamieson was born in England in April, 1814, and she was married about 1832 to Captain Alexander Jamieson, of the ship Tasmania, which was employed by the Imperial Government in transporting convicts to the colony of Tasmania. Sho came to this district fourteen years ago, residing first with her daughter, Mrs A. S. McPhail, and subsequently with Mrs Perry. Since her arrival here she has revisited Adelaide twice. The deceased lady leaves eight married children, two sons and six daughters. She also leaves 37 grand-children to mourn their loss. The funeral will -leave her late residence, Gladstone Road, at two o’clock to-morrow afternoon for the Makaraka cemetery.
