MULWARRIE – FUNERAL OF MRS. FUHRMANN
The remains of the late Mrs. G. Fuhrmann were interred in the Roman Catholic portion of the Mulwarrie cemetery this afternoon, in the presence of a large number of friends and relations. Several persons were present from Mulline, Davyhurst, Ularring, and Callion. The local branch of the A.M.A., of which e association the bereaved husband is a prominent member, showed their respect and sympathy by marching
in a body from Mulwarrie to the cemetery. The Rev. B. Fagan, of Menzies, read the service at the grave. The deceased lady, whose connection with the district dates back to the early days, was widely known and respected for her many acts of unostentatious kindness, it is gratefully remembered that no movement, of a charitable or progressive nature, was undertaken in the Mulwarrie district without receiving the practical help and sympathy of Mrs. Fuhrmann. The district mourns the loss of one who could ill be spared and sympathises deeply with the deceased’s husband and young family. The funeral arrangements were, quietly and efficiently carried out by Mr. G. Dalton.
