Cecilia Jessie Mosman (1844-1885)

Obituary
Lady Palmer, wife of Sir Arthur Palmer, President of the Legislative Council, died at her residence, Oakwall, early on Monday moring. About two years ago the deceased lady contracted a cold at one of the private assembly balls. This gradually developed into phthisis, to which, after great suffering, she succumbed. Lady Palmer was a daughter of the late Mr. Archibald Mosman, a squatter in a large way, in the New England district of New South Wales, and an elder sister of Lady McIlwraith and Mrs. A. W. Jardine. The deceased lady leaves three sons and two daughters. The flag on the Parlia- mentary Buildings and those of the vessels in harbour were hoisted at half-mast, and the shutters of the leading houses in town were put up yesterday, upon the death of Lady Palmer becoming known. The funeral cortege will leave Oakwall, Bowen Bridge-road, at 10 o'clock this morning for the General Cemetery.
