"The Late Mrs Holden"

The mortal remains of the late Mrs Holden, wife of Mr Oliver Holden of Dagmar Street, whose painfully sudden death we recorded last week, were interred in Heene cemetery on Saturday afternoon, the Rev. A K Nairne officiating. Considerable sympathy is felt for the bereaved husband and family, Mr Holden being well-known having been Verger at Heene Church for many years. He desires us to express his gratitude for the many kind messages of condolence he has received, they being too numerous for him to acknowledge individually.
