Eliza Jane Scott (1834-1919)

Obituary
Mrs. Eliza Jane Wignell, presumably one of the oldest natives of the Camden district, passed away at her late residence at Elderslie on Monday, at the age of 85 years.

She was the daughter of the late Joseph and Sarah Scott, of Elderslie, who also were natives of the Camden district.

The deceased was born at The Oaks on the 10th of October, 1834, and practically lived the whole of her life in this district. She was married to William Walter Wignell, of Balmain, at Cobbitty, by the late Rev. Thomas Hassall in the year 1866, and shortly afterwards they bought the farm now known as Kell's, where they lived for over 40 years.

Her husband predeceased her six years ago, he having died on the 10th of November, 1913, and she on the 10th of November, 1919, a remarkable coincidence of dates. She leaves one son and one daughter, Mr. William Wignell of Sydney, and Mrs. Jas. Reay of Elderslie. The remains were interred in Narellan Cemetery on Tuesday afternoon, the Rev. C. J. King, M.A., Rector of St. John's, Camden, officiated at the grave. Mr. Walter Peters conducted the funeral arrangements.
