OBITUARY

On Wednesday afternoon, the death occurred, rather suddenly, at Garfield-terrace, Bangor, of Miss Eliza George, lately of Uxbridge-square, Carnarvon. The deceased was well known in the town, and until last Christmas kept a school at Uxbridge-square, but she was compelled to give it up in consequence of the failure of her health. A fortnight ago she removed to Bangor to reside with her sister, and was apparently improving. Even on the day she died she ate a hearty dinner with apparent relish, but in about a quarter of an hour after died. According to medical opinion, the cause of death was rheumatism affecting the heart.

The death occurred on Wednesday, at his residence, in Castle-square, of Dr. Edward H. Williams, aged 59. Dr. Williams had been in failing health for some time past, and recently went under a painful operation. He was well-known in the town and district, and in partnership with his brother, Dr. W. J. Williams, he had practised in Carnarvon for many years, and was considered an authority on many diseases peculiar to children. The deceased was always jovial and genial, and was popular amongst all classes. Much sympathy is being manifested with his widow and children, and with Ex-Alderman W. P.
