1940 - DEATH. MRS. E. HALLORAN.

The death took place in Sydney on Saturday, 19th inst., of Mrs. Elizabeth Halloran, relict of the late Mr. Patrick Halloran, at the age of 79 years, and mother of Mrs. B. J. Egan, of Muswellbrook.

Having been a resident of Gulgong district for about 60 years, the late Mrs. Halloran, who was very highly esteemed, was very well-known and liked by everyone. For many years deceased resided at Canadian Lead, where she was a true friend to hundreds of residents in the early days when that village could boast of thousands of inhabitants due to a gold rush.

The deceased was a most lovable woman and a loving mother. No one who ever went to her in trouble was turned away empty handed. Through out the whole of her life she had been devoted to religion and was a staunch adherent of the Catholic Church. She was a native of County Clare, Ireland.

Unfortunately, the closing months of Mrs. Halloran's life were marred by an injury. About three months ago, and shortly after having visited Muswellbrook, she sustained a broken thigh, caused when she slipped at her own home.

The remains were brought to Gulgong and were laid to rest in the R.C. portion of the Gulgong cemetery, the Rev. Father Foley officiating.

The following grown-up family are left to mourn their loss: Messrs Frank Halloran, Patrick Halloran (both of Gulgong), Frederick Halloran (Dubbo), Mesdames P. Hickey (Moree), E. Huxley (Bexley), M. J. Gleeson (Wollongong), B. J. Egan (Muswellbrook), P. Buckley (Parra matta) and Miss A. M. Halloran (Parramatta).

1941 - DEATH - Mr. Patrick Halloran [son of Patrick and Elizabeth]

THE death occurred on Friday last at Parramatta of a Gulgong native, Mr. Patrick Halloran, aged 51 years. Deceased, who was widely known throughout the district, had, up to a few weeks previously, been a patient in hospital in Sydney for about seven weeks, and on his discharge (as hopeless, sad to say) he was cared for at the residence of a sister at Parramatta (Mrs. B. J. Egan, formerly the proprietress of the Prince of Wales Hotel, Gulgong).

"Paddy," as his many friends invariably called him, had been a valued employee of some property owners in this district for many years, but for some time past had been employed on the Sandy Hollow-Maryvale railway construction work. He will always be remembered for his integrity and sterling character. He was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. P. Halloran.

His widow and two sons and a daughter are left to mourn their loss, also the following brothers and sisters: Messrs. Frank Halloran (Gulgong), Fred. Halloran (Dubbo), Mesdames B. J. Egan and W. Huxley (Parramatta), M. Gleeson (Wollongong), A. Buckley (Lithgow), P. Hickey (Quirindi), and Miss A. M. Halloran (Parramatta).

The funeral took place to the Catholic portion of the Gulgong Cemetery on Sunday afternoon after a service had been conducted in the church, the Rev. Fr. Crowe officiating.

Our sympathy is extended.
