OBITUARY. We regret to report that another old resident of this district has passed away. We refer to Mrs. Tindell, who died at her residence, "Taymount," Woonona, on Monday evening last, at the ripe age of 72 years. Her death was not unexpected, as she has been ailing for some months past. Upwards of 40 years ago Mrs. Tindell and her husband came to this district and took up their residence at "Taymount," where she has been residing with several members of her family up to the time of her decease. Mrs. Tindell byher sterling qualities and her many unostentatious acts of kindness gained the affection and respect of a large number of people in the locality where she lived so long, and by these her death is deeply regretted. She was interred in the Wollongong Presbyterian cemetery on Wednesday afternoon beside the body of her husband, whom she survived about twenty years, The Revs. R. H. Waugh, J. W. Dymock, and Principal Kinross officiated at the grave.^[4]
