OBITUARY.
The distressingly sad and sudden death of Mrs Stuart Percy, of Clyde, which took place at midnight last, caused a gloom over the whole township. Only yesterday morning Mrs Percy, apparently in her usual good health, attended divine service, and afterwards visited friends. Here a sudden illness overtook her, and Dr Turnbull was summoned. He ordered her removal to the hospital, where an operation was performed, Drs Turnbull, Harrison and Shore being in attendance. Of a bright and happy disposition, Mrs Percy was a general favourite, and we are sure that to her sorrowing husband and little boy and to her parents (Mr and Mrs M. Keliher) and brothers the heartfelt sympathy of all sections of the community is extended. May be who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb be with them in their great grief. The funeral takes place to-morrow at 4 p.m. -Dunstan Times, 10/12/1923.
The death is reported suddenly in the Dunstan Hospital, on Sunday, December 9th inst., of Mrs Stuart Percy, daughter of Mr and Mrs Keliher, of Clyde. The deceased was in her usual good health on Sunday morning, but took seriously ill during the day, being removed to the hospital where an operation was performed, but proved of no avail. The deceased, who was 25 years of age, was a popular young lady, widely known throughout the district and this sudden termination to a bright and useful life came as a shock to her many friends and acquaintances. We extend to the bereaved husband and child, to the sorrowing parent and brothers the heartfelt sympathy of all those who mourn with them in their time of grief. -Alexandra Herald and Goldfields Gazette, 12/12/1923.
