On Wednesday morning last Mrs. Mary Newman, a very old resident of Goulburn, died at her residence, Clinton-street, alter a short illness of six days. Mrs. Newman was one of the earlier white women that first arrived on Goulburn Plains. For thirty-six years she had been a resident in this district; it is about twenty-five years ago since she and her first husband, Sergeant Payne, took charge of the Goulburn lock-up. She reared two families in the district, being sixty-six years of age at her death. By her first marriage she had one son and a daughter, and by her marriage with the late Mr. Andrew Newman she had two sons, one of whom, Mr. Charles Newman, died a few years since. She has left a large circle of friends and numerous grand-children as well as her own three children, to mourn their loss.—Southern Argus.
