Kyneton Guardian 20 April 916
A Former Resident Passes. News has reached Kyneton concerning one of the earliest or our settlers in these parts whose name has become associated with the early history of the place with honour to her family. Mrs Elizabeth Birkin will be remembered here as the wife of the late Mr Alfred Birkin, who formerly worked so successfully in the butchering business in High street which for many years after was known familiarly as Birkin's. She was the loving mother of a large family of sons and daughters, most of whom have now removed from these parts. Those however who have remained are Mrs Charles Brown, the respected wife Mr C. Brown. coach builder. of Baynton street. and Mr W. Birkin who is in the employ of Mr Paul Gardiner. Mrs. Birkin had spent the latter part of her life in Western Australia, where her sons worked with success. Of late, however, she returned to Victoria and spent much of her time in Melbourne and Kyneton. Her health, due probably to her advancing years, has been showing signs of breaking up. She was previously the possessor of a fine constitution and fought against her growing weakness: but she was later obliged to enter St. Margaret's Hospital Sandringham where, despite careful nursing and the best of medical skill, she passed away yesterday in her 73rd year.

Kyneton Guardian 27 April 1916
Funeral
The remains of the late Mrs Alfred Birkin were laid to rest in the Kyneton Cemetery on Good Friday last. The funeral moved from the residence of her son, Mr William Birkin, in Market street. Mrs Birkin had spent the last 15 years of her life with her youngest daughter, Mrs W. Stewart, of Cliffe. Beach road. Sandringham, and she leaves four daughters and seven sons to mourn their loss. Four of her sons, Messrs Harry, Alfred, William and Charles Birkin, were pall hearers. The funeral service was read by the Ven. Archdeacon Bishop, of St. Pauls, and Mr I Benson efficiently carried out the mortuary arrangements.

BIRKIN.—On the 19th inst. at St.
Margaret's Hospital, Sandringham.
Elizabeth Birkin. relict of the late
Alfred Birkin, of Kyneton. Victoria,
in her 73rd year.

Kyneton Guardian 20 April 916
A Former Resident Passes. News has reached Kyneton concerning one of the earliest or our settlers in these parts whose name has become associated with the early his tory of the place with honour to her family. Mrs Elizabeth Birkin will he remembered here as the wife of the late Mr Alfred Birkin, who formerly worked so successfully in the butcher ing business in High street which for many years after was known familiarly as Birkin's. She was the loving mother of a large family of sons and daughters, most of whom have now removed from these parts. Those however who have remained are Mrs Charles Brown, the respected wife Mr C. Brown. coachbuilder. of Baynton street. and Mr W. Birkin who is in the employ of Mr Paul Gardiner. Mrs. Birkin had spent the latter part of her life in Western Australia, where her sons worked with success. Of late, however, she returned to Victoria and spent much of her time in Melbourne and Kyneton. Her health, due probably to her advancing years, has been showing signs of breaking up. She was previously the possessor of a fine constitution and fought against her growing weakness: but she was later obliged to enter St. Margaret's Hospital Sandringham where, despite careful nursing and the best of medical skill, she passed away yesterday in her 73rd year.

Kyneton Guardian 27 April 1916
Funeral
The remains of the late Mrs Alfred Birkin were laid to rest in the Kyneton Cemetery on Good Friday last. The funeral moved from the residence of her son, Mr William Birkin, in Market street. Mrs Birkin had spent the last 15 years of her life with her youngest daughter, Mrs W. Stewart, of Cliffe. Beach road. Sandringham, and she leaves four daughters and seven sons to mourn their loss. Four of her sons, Messrs Harry, Alfred, William and Charles Birkin, were pall hearers. The funeral service was read by the Ven. Archdeacon Bishop, of St. Pauls, and Mr I Benson efficiently carried out the mortuary arrangements
