OBITUARY.
DEATH OF MRS D. J. LOBBAN.
At one o'clock on Monday afternoon an
old resident, in the person of Mrs. D. J.
Lobban, of Parkhaugh, Wingham, was
released from a life of suffering by the cold
band of death. Since last Xmas she had been
indisposed, and for the last five months the
good lady was confined to her bed, the cause
of complaint being aneurism of the spine.
The best medical skill was provided, but the
disease irresistibly claimed its victim. For
about a fortnight the members of her family
have gathered round her bedside, knowing
that the sands of life were running nearly to
the end, and so it was that deceased had the
earthly comfort of having around her those
near and dear before she took that long,
long step into the Great Unknown.
Deceased was 68 years of age at the time
of her death. Born in Glasgow, Scotland,
she sailed for Australia with her parents
when 2 years of age, and some years after
landing in Australia they came to the Man-
ning, where she has resided for over half a
century. She (then Catherine Cameron), was
married by the Rev. A. McIntyre many
years ago at Marlee, to the late Mr. D. J.
Lobban (who died some years ago), and the
orphan family now numbers seven daughters
and one son, of the former three are married,
vis., Mrs. J. C. Duff and Mrs. G. A. Andrews,
of Woodside, and Mrs. J. W. Hodgins
(wife of Wingham's post and telegraph
master). The single daughters are the Misses
Bella, Kate, Jessie, and Mary, whilst Mr. D.
J. Lobban is the only son. Deceased also
had two of her own sisters and two brothers.
The former are Mrs. John Cameron, of Marlee,
and Mrs Angus Kennedy, of Beechwood,
and the brothers are Messrs. John and Donald
Cameron, of Marlee.
The late Mrs. Lobban lived an exemplary
Christian life, being a staunch adherent of
tbe old Free Presbyterian Church. Her
benevolence will live while her memory
remains green. She was quite prepared for
the end, which she knew must come, and
was a living illustration of Byron's concep-
tion when he wrote—
How sweet this very hour to die !
To soon from earth, and find all fears
Lost in thy light, eternity !
Her death, as we said before, came to her as
a welcome release from a life of pain, but
under any circumstances her bereaved family
have the sincerest sympathy of all who knew
the kind-hearted, highly-respected, and be-
loved one who is gone. The funeral took
place yesterday afternoon at the Bight Ceme-
tery, the Revs. S. P. Stewart and J. H.
Terras officiating. The Rev. E. H. Wright
would also have been present had it not been
that a similarly sad duty called him to the
graveside of the late Thomas Hutchinson
Wynter.
