THE LATE MRS. EDWARDS. SMH – Mon 17 Nov 1902
A very old resident of the State, in the person of Mrs. Eliza Edwards, passed away peacefully at her late residence, Gordon, last week, at the advanced age of 82 years. Mrs Edwards was the third daughter of the late Mr Robert Pymble, who with members of his family came to New South Wales in the early days of settlement. With the exception of a few years spent in Sydney and Tasmania, the deceased resided in or near Gordon, and by her amenable disposition endeared herself to all with whom she came in contact. She leaves one son, Mr. Jas. G Edwards of Killara, and one daughter, Miss Edwards of Gordon. Her remains were followed to St John's Cemetery, Gordon, by a large number of friends and relations.
