Details: On Sunday night the death occurred at her residence, Regent-street, West Maitland, of the wife of of Mr. Henry Crothers, J.P. The late Mrs. Crothers was a native of county Tyrone, Ireland, where she was born seventy years ago. She came to this State when nine years old. She was married to Mr. Henry Crothers in St. Marys Church, West Maitland. For some years she and her husband lived in the Wollombi district; and then went to the Warrego country, to station properties owned by Mr. Crothers. For the last twenty years they had resided in West Maitland. Mrs. Crothers had been ailing for many years, and several serious attacks threatened at different times to end her life, A few days ago, another bad turn seized her, and she gradually sank and died. Much sympathy is expressed with Mr. Crothers, who has been unwell for some time. Mrs. Crothers leaves five sons and two daughters. Dr. Robert Irwin, of Singleton, is a nephew. For four and a half years - from 1893 to 1898 - Mrs. Crothers was Mayoress of West Maitland, Mr Crothers being Mayor of the town during that period. And although ill-health prevented her taking an active part in all matters which usually receive attention from a Mayoress, Mrs. Crothers filled the position as well as her health would permit. She was a good wife, and an affectionate mother, and will be greatly missed in the home circle. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, and was largely attended. Among those present were -the Hon. J. N. Brunker and Mr. John Gillies, M.L.A. ; the Mayor (Dr. F. Liddell) and aldermen of West Maitland, and the Council Clerk; Mr. G. F. Scott, P.M.; Mr. A. B. C. Burke, C.P.S. at East Maitland ; and members of the legal profession. The chief mourners were Mr. Henry Crothers, Mr. A. B. Crothers (son), Messrs. John and Harry Crothers (grand-sons), Dr. Irwin and Messrs. Albert and Robert Crothers (nephews), Mr. John Bennett (brother-in-law), and Mr. J. P. Gideon (a very old friend of the family).
