OBITUARY.
MRS. W. ROSSELL.
By the death on June 25 of Mrs. W. Russell, a well respected resident of Port MacDonnell has been removed. Mrs. Rossell, who was 90 years of age, was is born at Norwich, England, in 1838. With her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Harmer, she came to Australia in 1848 on the same ship, as Governor Young. Mr. and Mrs. Harmer settled at Mount Barker, and the deceased was there married to the late Mr. G. Uphill in 1854. Mr. George Uphill was afterwards guard on the mail coach which travelled between Mount Gambier and Adelaide. In 1865 the Uphills came to Port MacDonnell, and afterwards took up land at Allandale, where Mr. Uphill died in 1875.
Thirty-four years ago she married the late Mr William Rossell, of Port MacDonnell, and had resided there until her demise. Of a kindly disposition the deceased was generally liked by a wide circle of friends. She was in good health until a few months ago, when she contracted the illness which finally caused her death. There were five children by the first marriage Mr. Robt. G. Uphill, of Green Bushes, West Australia; Mr. W. J. B. Uphill, Square Mile; Mrs Isaac Wallace, Allandale. One daughter, Mrs. J. Butler, died many years ago, and one, son, Trooper Frank R. Uphill, made the supreme sacrifice in the Great War. There are 26 grandchildren, and 42 great-grandchildren.14
