It is with deep regret that we are obliged to chronicle the rather sudden death of Miss Johanna Carroll, youngest daughter of Mr Pierce Carroll, of Bald Hill Flat, occurred shortly after midnight on Monday. For some time past the deceased young lady had not been in good health and in October last returned from Dunedin, where she had been residing for the previous twelve months. Since her arrival home she had been keeping fairly well, and her relatives were in hopes that she was regaining her usual good health. Everything that medical aid and home comfort could do was always at hand, but about midnight on Monday a sudden vomiting fit came over her, and within half an hour afterwards the young lady breathed her last, notwithstanding the fact that everything was done for her. When the news of her sudden end became known amongst the residents of the district a pang of regret was felt by both young and old alike, for the deceased lady had always been a universal favorite with her numerous friends and school companions, who were stricken with grief at the loss of such an earnest friend at so young an age, the deceased lady being only 21 years old. We tender our deepest condolences to the relatives in their sad bereavement The funeral takes place to morrow afternoon.  -Alexandra Herald and Goldfields Gazette, 29/1/1908.
