DEATH OF MRS. G. F. SANDROCK.
There will be many people in Rockhampton
who will learn with much regret this
morning of the death on Saturday evening
of Mrs. Sandrock, wife of Mr. G. F. Sand
rock. Mr. and Mrs. Sandrock first came
to Rockhampton over forty years ago and
have always been held in the highest
esteem. Of recent years their great age
and still more remarkable alertness both
of mind and body have made them con-
spicuous on that account alone. The late
Mrs. Sandrock completed her ninety-first
year on the 7th instant. She was born at
Mornington, Kent, England, on the 7th of
November, 1814, the year before Waterloo,
and was married to Mr. Sandrock in her
native village in January, 1844, nearly
sixty-two years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Sand-
rock came to Australia in 1853, and came
first to Rockhampton in 1863. Mrs. Sand-
rock passed away peacefully on Saturday
evening and was buried yesterday offor
noon. Death at that age can hardly be
called sad in the ordinary sense of the
word, the sadness is for the partner who
is left, and for whom in his loneliness there
will be warm and general sympathy.
