Florence Eliza Highfield (1868-1944)

Obituary
Kandos Pioneer Passes On Death of Florence Eliza Cox By the passing, at her late residence, Fleming street, Kandos, on Sunday morning, of Florence Eliza Cox this district has lost a grand pioneer. The deceased was born at Rylstone 75 years ago and had resided in this district all her life.

She had been ailing for some considerable time and her call home came as a happy release from suffering.

The late Mrs. Cox was a grand old lady and one who practised the principles of Christianity. She was widely known in this district and loved by all. Her suffering is now ended and she has gone to her eternal reward—a reward which she so richly deserved. May her soul rest in peace.

After a service in the Kandos Church of England, conducted by Archdeacon Bromhead, the remains were laid to rest in the C.E. portion of the Rylstone cemetery on Monday morning. The esteem in which this dear lady was held was evinced by the large number of mourners who were present to pay their last tribute. The last sad rites at the graveside were performed by Archdeacon Bromhead.

The deceased is survived by two sons (Bill and Noel) and two daughters (Ethel and Mrs. Reg Betts), all of Kandos, to whom we extend our deepest sympathy.
