She had been ailing for some little time, but her decease after so brief an illness, came as a very grievious shock to her family. The late Mrs Oates was an amiable and gentle lady, whose friends will deeply mourn her death. Those she leaves in enef, fier husband and voung family of four children, will have the heartfelt sympathy of all the settlers of the district. The funeral will take place today, leavinc the homestead, Gladstone, at 12 o'clock, for the private cemetery of the Oates family m White's' Line.
