First Name: Catherine

Date: 26 September 1907
Place: Merriwa
Source: The Catholic Press
Details: On Sunday 8th inst., there passed away, after a short illness, Mrs. Catherine Lawless (relict of the late Mr. Patrick Lawless), a venerable and beloved lady, who formed one of the links of past Merriwa. The loving care of Miss Marcella Lawless was a great consolation to the deceased lady for many years, and Mr. charles Spratt, and Mrs. W. Beirne also shared their sister s care. The late Mrs. Lawless was born at Castletown, Dundalk, Co. Louth, Ireland and was married on July 25 1833; in 1840 she left Ireland with her husband and two sons, one of whom died on the voyage out. They landed in Sydney on New Years Day on the ship Emerald Isle. Mrs. Lawless and family came on to Merriwa which then was but a wilderness; but after a few years Mrs. Lawless went into business and as the town grew the business prospered. Many a traveller was assisted by her generous hand, and many young people starting life could tell in after years how they had tided over their troubles with the help of Mrs. Lawless. The remains were laid to rest in the old cemetery where her husband is buried
