Soper (Ayr), Miss Delia Fitzgerald (Townsville), the - Misses Eileen, Kathelene and Monica Fitz- geralds of Cairns, and Miss Esmie Fitzgerald the youngest daughter who resides with her father at Mareeba, Mr. William Fitzgerald of Malanda,, was the only son of the deceased lady who died highly respected by all who knew her.
