Emily Harding (1840–1889)
It will be heard with general regret that the wife [Emily] of Mr. Justice Harding died at their residence St. John's Wood at an early hour this morning, from heart disease. The death of this lady will cause a social gap, as she exercised considerable influence in the upper circles of Brisbane society. The deceased lady was the sister of Mrs. E. I. O. Browne and leaves a large family to mourn for her. Three of her daughters are already married — one to Mr. W. F. Wilson, barrister; another to Mr. R. MacDougall, and the eldest to the son of Mr. W. R. Riley, proprietor of the Goulburn Herald.
