OBITUARY
Mrs. Sarah Louisa Watson
As briefly indicated in the second edition of our last issue, the death of an old resident of the Forbes district, in the person of Mrs. Sarah Louisa Watson, relict of the late Samuel Watson, of North Hill, Forbes, took place in Sydney last Monday. Shortly before Christmas the deceased went on a holiday to her daughter, Mrs. Bert Tooth, of 168 Cavendish Street, Stanmore, where she passed away after a short illness.
The late Mrs. Watson, who was 78 years of age, was born at Carrawobitty, Forbes. She was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Field, and only one sister (Mrs. Bessie Smith) survives from a particularly large family. A resident of the district all her life, Mrs. Watson was held in the highest esteem by a large circle of friends. Her late husband, who predeceased her by three years, was for many years a carter in the employ of the old-established firm of J. and W. Thomas (now John Meagher & Co.), and afterwards with Mr. J. P. Donaghey. They are survived by one son, Mr. Jas. L. Watson (Forbes), and two daughters, Mesdames J. Stanbury and B. Tooth (Sydney). One son (Jack) and a daughter, Mrs. Reedy (Molly) are deceased.
The remains were brought to Forbes by train on Tuesday morning, and in the afternoon were interred in the Presbyterian portion of the cemetery by Mr. A. G. Jones, Rev. Stanley Parsons performing the last sad rites at the graveside.7
