They went to Springwood, where they resided for 37 years, and then went to live at Emu Plains, for 20 years. Last November they took up residence with their son, Leslie, at Blaxland, where her husband passed away on 3rd June, at the age of 87 years and 11 months.

Couldwell (Bondi), Albert (Emu), Thomas (Glenbrook), Mrs S. Couldwell (Randwick), Mrs C. Parkes (Emu Plains), Leslie (Blaxland), Mrs J. Elliott (Auburn), and Cecil (Marrickville).
