The death occurred at Ayr, North Queensland, on Sunday, after a short illness, of Mrs. M. I.[Margaret Isabella] Hinchliffe, widow of the late Mr D. Hinchliffe, of Dean Street, North Rockhampton, formerly of Milman.

Mrs. Hinchliffe was born in Achill, Mayo, Ireland, 82 years ago, and came to Rockhampton with her parents when she was seven years old. Her father, who was a school teacher, taught at Bouldercombe up to the time of his death.
