SAD DEATH
Early on Sunday morning the death occurred in the Condobolin District Hospital of Mary Cunningham, aged 51 years. She had been a patient in the hospital for some months, which
came as a climax of many years of suffering. Before her last illness she had been on the staff of the hospital for a number of years.
Deceased was born in the Cowra district, but at an early age came to Condobolin and lived the remainder of her life in the town and surrounding district. Before her marriage, about 30 years ago, she was Mary Johnston, and some of her relatives are still living in the district.
She leaves a husband, three sons and a daughter, to mourn their sad loss, two of her daughters having predeceased her.
The remains were laid to rest in the R. C. portion of the cemetery, Rev. Father O'Brien officiating at the graveside.
To the bereaved ones we extend our sincere sympathy.;Principal=Mary E Johnson5
