OBITUARY MRS JAMES DAY. As briefly mentioned in our last issue, Mary, the wife of Mr James Day, of Capper-street, was gathered home by the reaper on Monday last, at the age of 70 years, the cause of her death being a malignant growth, for which she had been treated by Dr Browne. About four months ago, she complained of feeling unwell and she gradually grew worse ; the last two months she was very ill indeed, at times quite worn out by excruciating pain, so much so that Dr Browne injected morphia to induce sleep, but so exhausted was she that she never rallied. During her illness, Dr Browne was most particularly attentive, her many kind friends were profuse in their kindness, and if love and care from her fond daughters could have spared her she would have been with them to-day. Alas ! Fate decided otherwise, and the fond and trusty wife, who for 12 years nursed and attended her poor unfortunate bedridden husband, after being fortified by the rites of her church and cheered and inspired by the Sisters of Mercy, went to her last home. The departed was the only daughter of the late William Lonergan's first wife and came with the latter when 7 years of age from their birthplace, Tipparaey, Ireland, and for a time resided in Yass. Leaving there, her father came to Tumut. Later, the late Mr Patrick Keefe woed and wed her, and the result of the union was one son (William) and three daughters (Mrs D. McGregor, Mrs J. Lees and Mrs E. Quilty, Tumut). About 1877, Mr Keefe died, and a couple of years afterwards, Mr James Day married his widow, and they lived happily together. They had three sons, viz : Albert, Arthur and Leo Day. The first and last mentioned are at present on active service at the front. It was their mother's last wish to be spared to see them again, and she wrote the authorities asking that they might be permitted to return home, even for six months. Two daughters, Amelia and Nellie Day, predeceased her. . The subject of our obituary was a kind, lovable woman, admired and respected by her many friends, and the mainstay of her invalid husband, who now purposes going to the Little Sisters' Home in Sydney. The surroundings are particularly sad, and we tender the bereaved ones (who have lost a treasure they can never replace) our deepest condolence. The funeral took place on Wednesday last, the remains being interred in the Roman Catholic portion of the old cemetery. Messrs Master Bros were tho undertakers and Rev Fr Sharckey officiated at the grave.
