OBITUARY

MISS PATRICIA M. KILBRIDE, SOUTHBRIDGE.

It is with extreme regret (says the ' Ellesmere Guardian,' December 30) that we have to record the death of Miss Patricia Margaret Kilbride, eldest daughter of Mr. John Kilbride, of Sout'hbri'dge.i The deceased young lady had been ill for some time, and had only recently returned from Christchurch, where she had undergone a course of treatment at Nurse Maude's camp. The best of medical skill was requisitioned, and for a time hopes were entertained for her ultimate recovery, but the dreaded malady from which she suffered slowly, but surely, gained the upper hand, and despite the efforts put forth to save her life, the sufferer gradually sank and passed peacefully away on Christmas evening. The deceased was a young lady of retiring disposition, and a general favorite with all who knew her, and was possessed of excellent musical abilities The late Miss Klilbride was only 19 years of age at the time of her death. Much sympathy is felt for the parents of the young lady. The funeral took place on Thursday, many friends and sympathisers showing their last mark of respect for one who was so much loved and respected. The burial service at the graveside was read by the Rev. Father Goggan.— R.l.P.
