Olive May Mitchell (1905-1945)

Obituary
Mrs. A. J. Porter The death occurred at Lewisham Private Hospital on April 28th of Mrs. Olive May Porter, wife of Mr. A. J. Porter, of Bigga, at the early age of 41 years.

Mrs. Porter was transferred from the Crookwell District Hospital to Sydney for specialised treatment five weeks prior to her death.

A native of Reid's Flat she spent the greater part of her life at Bigga.

Besides her husband she is survived by her father, Mr. Ernest Mitchell, of Cowra, two sisters—Mrs.-D. H. Picker (of Bigga) and Mrs. E. Dickson (of Warrawang )—and two brothers —Athol and Ronald (both of Bigga).

The funeral, which was largely attended, took place at Bigga and the many beautiful floral tributes in evidence bore silent testimony to the love and esteem in which she was held.

Pall-bearers were Messrs. Athol and Ronald Mitchell (brothers), Con Porter and Ernie Dickson (brothers-in-law).

After a short service at the church, which was conducted by the Rev. Brown, of Boorowa, the funeral cortege moved off for the Church of England portion of the Bigga Cemetery, where the interment was made.
