Fountain, 16 Junc- tion-street, Marrickville, on Friday night. She celebrated her hundredth birthday about seven weeks ago. The late Mrs. Cowles was a native of In- verness, Scotland, and was 21 years of age when she arrived in Sydney. She was twice married, her first husband being the late Mr. Turner, of Merriwa. Her second husband died just before the war. Thirteen of her grandsons served at the front, and one was killed. The eldest of her living children resides at Mackay, Queensland, and is 74 years of age. There are 97 descendants, the oldest of the great-grandchildren being 21 years of age. Mudgee Guardian 9 Dec 1926 THE LATE MRS. COWLES. NINETY-SEVEN DESCEDANTS ALIVE. Mrs. Mary Cowles, who died last night at the residence of her daught- er, Mrs. P. H. Fountain, of 16 Junction-street, Marrickville, was 100 years and seven weeks old. Her descendants— children, grand- children and great grandchildren, the eldest of the great-grand- children being 21 years — number 97 living. One of her sons, resident of Mac- kay (Q.) — he used to visit his mother every year — is 74 ; another, a resi- dent of Woy Woy, is 73; and a third, a resident of Coonamble, is 70. Mrs. Fountain, the daughter, is 65, and she has a brother, living at Rockdale, who is 62. The late Mrs. Cowles, who was born at Inverness (Scotland) was married twice. Mrs. Fountain and her younger brother are of the se- cond marriage. Arriving in Sydney by the sailing ship James Gibb — her 21st birthday was celebrated during the voyage — deceased was married two years later to the late Mr. Turner, who kept the Traveller's Rest Hotel at Hall's Creek, near Merriwa. Her second husband died just before the Great War. Of 13 of her grandsons who served at the war, one who was the thir- teenth to enlist, was killed. All the others returned safely, though several of them had received serious wounds in action. The late Mrs. Cowles attributed her longevity and general good health to regular living and freedom from worry. Until two years ago, when her eyesight began to fail, she never used glasses. Yet she was a diligent reader, her favorite book being the Bible. She almost knew it by heart. The end came suddenly. A few hours before her death Mrs. Cowles refused to believe that anything was seriously wrong with her. Unknown to her a doctor was called in. She did not want a doctor, she said. A little while afterwards the old lady was dead.
