OBITUARY

MRS. MULQUEEN, WESTPORT,

It is with extreme regret (writes a correspondent) that I have to record the death of Mrs. p. .Mulquean, who passed away at her residence, Bright street, 'Westport, on June 16, at the age of 62 years. The late Mrs. Mul'queen, who was born in the County Clare, was a highly respected and very old resident, having arrived in the Colony in the early sixties, and lived for over 30 years in Westport. Fortified by the rites of Holy Church, and surrounded by the members of her sorrowing family, her end was indeed a holy and edifying one. The deceased leaves two sons and five daughters to mourn thefr loss, the eldest son, Mr. Edward Mul queen, being in the employ of the Union S.S. Company at Suva Fiji. The memibters of the family, who ha\e lost a p.ood and affectionate mother, have the deepest sympathy of the community in their siad bereavement. The funeral took place on Sunday, June 18, and the high estimation in which the deceased was held was manifested by the large and representative gathering which attended to pay the last tribute of respect to her memory. The Yen. Archpriest Walshe officiated at the graveside.— R.l. P,
