Elizabeth Sligar (1855-1913)

Obituary
The Late Mrs. Elizabeth Newham. It becomes our sad duty to chronicle the death of the above well known lady, who died at her residence, Spring Creek, on Tuesday last from pernicious anemia, at the age of 59 years. Deceased, who was the daughter of the late Mr. Geo. Sligar, was born at Camden (N.S.W.) and when seventeen years of age was married to Mr. John Newham at Reid's Flat. She has resided in this district continuously since then, hence could be classed as one of our oldest inhabitants. She leaves issue five sons and three daughters to mourn the loss of a loving mother. The funeral took place at the R.C. cemetery on Thursday, the Rev. Father Casey officiating, quite a large number joining in paying their last mark of respect to the memory of the deceased.
