(3) Obituary... SISTER CATHERINE COLE, MOLONG. On Friday morning, March 6, Sister Cole who has been a faithful Soldier for sixty odd years, received the summons Home. She was eighty-three years of age and up to some days prior to her death she was able to read her beloved Bible. It was a great comfort to her loved ones to know that she did not suffer even at the last. She was not afraid of death but looked forward to it, and often spoke of the time she would be called away. Her life had a sweet and holy influence upon all who knew her. The service at the house and graveside were led by the Corps Officers. The Memorial service on the Sunday night was largely attended by relatives and friends and was a great tribute to the respect and esteem in which Sister Cole was held. Corps Sergeant-Major Dalling, Treasurer H.Cole and Sister Mrs.Johnson (Taree) were the readers.
(3a) Obituary 2..............A well-known personality in these districts for nearly half a century passed to her reward on Friday last week, in the person of Mrs. Catherine Cole, widow of the late David Cole who died in 1908. The death occurred at the residence of her youngest daughter, Mrs Joseph Staines, Molong. She had been ailing for some time, but had been only three days seriously ill before passing away, the trouble being heart failure. Mrs Cole, who was nearing her 84th year was a native of Campbells River and before her marriage was a Miss Russell. After her wedding she and her husband resided at Campbells River for a time, and then moved to Rockleigh district where Mr. Cole carried on farming pursuits. They came to Meranburn 46 years ago and subsequently resided at Manildra, Garra and Redbank and eventually after her huands death, Mrs. Cole came to reside in Molong and district with her daughters. Possessed of rare motherly instincts, Mrs. Cole always gave first consideration to the welfare of others, and she was ever ready with help and comfort in time of sickness or sorrow. She is survived by the following family: William, Mrs. W. Cole (Manildra), Mrs. H. O. Johnson (Taree), Henry (Molong), Mrs. A. Denny, (Mentone, Vic), Albert, Frederick (Orange), Mrs. Ernest Day (Copper Hill), Mrs. Alfred Staines (Molong), and Mrs. Joseph Staines (Molong). The eldest daughter (Mrs. George Cassell) and an infant are predeceased. There are also living 37 grandchildren and 46 great grandchildren. With two exceptions (those who are in distant parts), all the members of the family were present at the funeral, and several were with their mother when she passed away. The funeral on Saturday was largely attended, the service at the graveside being conducted by H. and O. Worley of the Salvation Army, assisted by Pastor Evans of the Baptist Church. The silver mounted maple coffin was covered with beautiful wreaths. The funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr. A. Cole. The pall bearers were Messrs A. Staines, J. Staines (sons-in-law) Mark Cassell and A. Carter (grandsons). A short service was held at the house before the funeral started.
A memorial service was held at the Salvation Army hall on Sunday night, when there was a large attendance. The reading desk was draped in white, and several relatives and comrades wore white arm bands. The prayers, Bible reading, addresses, and hymns were of an appropriate and impressive character, and at intervals many eyes were dimmed with tears. Favorite hymns of the departed were sung, including ' Oh, Happy Day ' and ' Shall We Gather at the River.' Earnest tributes were paid to the Christian life of the Sister who had gone Home. Captain H. Worley spoke on the joy of eternal life and she and her sister rendered two beautiful duets, including 'I'm Coming Home.'

late David Cole who died in 1908.

The death occurred at the resid-

had been ailing for some time, but
had been only three days serious-
ly ill before passing away, the
trouble being heart failure. Mrs.
Cole, who was nearing her 84th
year, was a native of Campbell's
River and before marriage was a
Miss Russell. After her wedding
she and her husband resided at
Campbell's River for a time, and
then removed to the Rockleigh dis-
trict, where Mr. Cole carried on
farming pursuits. They came to
Meranburn 46 years ago, and sub-
sequently resided at Manildra,
Garra, and Redbank, and even-
tually, after her husband's death,
Mrs. Cole came to reside in Mol-
ong and district with her daugh-
ters. Possessed of rare motherly
instincts, Mrs. Cole always gave
first consideration to the welfare
of others, and she was ever ready
with help and comfort in times of
sickness or sorrow. She is survived
by the following family : William,
Mrs. W. Cole (Manildra), Mrs. H.
O. Johnson (Taree), Henry (Mol-
ong), Mrs. A. Denny (Mentone,
Vic.), Albert, Frederick (Oran-
ge), Mrs. Ernest Day (Copper

(Mrs. George Cassels) and an in-
fant are predeceased. There are
also living 37 grandchildren and
46 great-grandchildren. With two
exceptions (those who are in dis-
tant parts), all the members of
the family were present at the
funeral, and several were with
their mother when she passed
away. The funeral on Saturday
was largely attended, the service,
at the graveside being conducted
by Captains H. and O. Worley, of
the Salvation Army, assisted by
Pastor Evans, of the Baptist Chur-
ch. The silver-mounted maple
coffin was covered with beautiful
wreaths. The funeral arrange-
ments were carried out by Mr. A.

(grandsons). A short service was
also held at the house before the

A memorial service was held at
the Salvation Army hall on Sun-
day night, when there was a large
attendance. The reading desk was
draped in white, and several rela-
tives and comrades wore white
arm bands. The prayers, Bible
reading, addresses, and hymns
were of an appropriate and im-
pressive character, and at inter-
vals many eyes were dimmed with
tears. Favorite hymns of the de-
parted were sung, including ' Oh,
Happy Day ' and ' Shall We
Gather at the River.' Earnest tri-
butes were paid to the Christian
life of the Sister who had gone
Home. Captain H. Worley spoke
