Mary Ann Onus (1813-1887)

Obituary
News was received in town yesterday that Mrs. Eaton, wife of Mr. John Eaton, of Teebar, died on that station on Sunday at the age of 73. At the same time the unexpected news of the death of Mr. William Eaton, only son of the deceased and Mr. John Eaton, of Teebar, was received, and the two losses will be a severe blow to Mr. Eaton. The son died suddenly of apoplexy a few hours after his mother. He was 39 years of age. Mrs. Eaton, old as she was, was a native of Australia, being born on the Hawkesbury River. Mr. W. Eaton was the only son of this old Wide Bay family. Mrs. Eaton's death and that of her son will be sad news for the large family of daughters she leaves behind, but her demise was not altogether unexpected, and Dr. Harricks had been in attendance for some time until he was laid up with a diptheric attack, when Dr. Bowe took his place.
