With deep regret we record the death
of Miss Ellie Vahey, Redhill, which took
place on Christmas evening, after tedi-
GUS jllness. The deceased young lady
was slightly indisposed when on the la
mented death of her mother the strain
was too much for her to overcome, and
she was called away from this world of
trial before she emerged into the prime
of life. Her funeral on Sunday, the 9th,
was large and respectable, the clergy,
gentry and people of the better class for
miles around having attended the inter-
ment at Straid Ablas.
