At the time of his marriage, lived at 373 George St Mudgee
DEATH OF MR. G. H CROSS.
We regret to chronicle the
death of an old and respected resident of Mudgee, Mr. George Henry Cross, aged
54. The deceased was at one time in the employ of Mr. Hunter White, and
sustained an injury which necessitated his seeking a light occupation. Later on
he kept a boarding house in Mudgee, in which business he continued for many
years, afterwards residing quietly in Market Street. The bereaved relatives
include his daughter, Mrs. G. Wells, and his dearly beloved widow, for whom the
greatest sympathy is felt by their many friends. The remains were interred in
the R.C. portion of the general cemetery yesterday afternoon, the Right Rev.
Monsignor O'Donovan reciting the prayers for the dead.

respected resident of Grose Wold, wife of Mr. Roland Stinson, passed away on the
8th inst. Deceased had suffered for some time with a weak heart, and bronchitis
was the the cause of death. She was a daughter of the late Austin Slattery, a
well-known character of the early days, and a sister of Mrs. Henry Hough, whose

Wold), Mrs. Elizabeth Horan (Richmond), Thomas (Comleroy Road), Kathleen,
Theresa and Norah (at home), Roland (Grose Wold), and Austin (Sydney). From her
girlhood the late Mrs. Stinson was always looked upon as one of the best and
kindliest of neighbors, and a tower of strength and fount of sympathy for all in
trouble. The esteem and reverence in which she was held was shown by the large
concourse of people that attended the service in St. Monica's Church, Richmond,
and at the graveside in the Richmond R.C. cemetery. Rev. Father Darby conducted
the solemn burial service, and Mr Chandler, of Windsor, carried out the funeral
arrangements. At the Sunday Mass Rev. Father Darby prefaced his sermon with an
eloquent tribute, to the exemplary life of the late Mrs. Stinson, and referred
to many events of her life.
