OBITUARY, MISS M. J.

She was a lady of charming disposition, coupled with a kindly heart, and a sincere desire to serve her fellows. For most of her adult life she was organist for the Methodist and Presbyterian services at Nabiac, and her in terest in music also induced her to assist many young people on the Wallamba and at Wingham in their musical studies.
