Obituary 19 Jun 1931^[5]

MRS. T. B. PROSSER

The death occurred last week of Mrs. Prosser, wife of Mr. T. B. Prosser, of "Strathfield," Frogmore, at the age of 64 years. The deceased was a daughter of the late Mr. J. P. Clements, of Barmedman, but had resided with her grandparents, the late Mr. and Mrs. David Morgan, of Kenyu, for many years. She had been in ill-health for some time, and her death was not unexpected.

Mrs. Prosser will be greatly missed from the Frogmore district, where she was so universally respected for her kind and public spirited interest in the affairs of the district. She was a keen member of her Church and worked with untiring zeal towards its maintenance.

Mrs. Prosser is survived by her husband, seven daughters and three sons, to whom we tender our sincere sympathy.

The remains were interred in the Methodist portion of the Frogmore Cemetery, Mr. O. J. Stuart carrying out the funeral arrangements, and the service at the graveside being conducted by Rev. E. A. Little, assisted by the Rev. E. Barker (Cowra).

Burial Frogmore General Cemetery , Frogmore, Hilltops Council, New South Wales, Australia^[6].
