  • Notes 
    • The funeral of the late Mrs. Hy. Gordon took place on Sunday afternoon to the Winterbourne cemetery, Rev. Krouth officiating. This death is particularly sad on account of the husband of the deceased having died only 9 months ago. Much sympathy is felt for her relatives and friends, especially her four children, namely Winnie, Lloyd, Frances and Aileen Gordon.
