The death took place on Wednesday, November 6, of Mrs. Ann Broughton McCallum, at her late residence, "Good Hope," Castle Hill, at the ripe age of 92 years.

She was a daughter of the late Robert Campbell, of Wingello, Marulan, and Anns Vale, Boorowa, and her mother was Ann Hassall, a sister of the Rev. Thomas Hassall of Parramatta, and a daughter of Roland Hassall, who arrived in Australia in 1796.
