Gertrude Elizabeth Doolan (1868–1938)

The funeral of Miss Gertrude Doolan, a well known Launceston resident, took place privately at Carr Villa Cemetery yesterday when the chief mourners were Messrs. Arthur and Gervase Doolan (brothers), and Jeff Greig (nephew). Miss Doolan, who was a daughter of the late Mr. Thomas and Mrs. Jane Doolan, had lived at "Britannia House," Wellington-street—the home of her family for 100 years—all her life. Three brothers, Messrs. Will, Harold, and Cyrus, predeceased her.
