Death of Mrs. A. Gaydon, Croquet Club member

TOOWOOMBA, December [?26].

Mrs. A. Gaydon died suddenly at her home in Toowoomba, on Christmas Eve. For some time she had [?been] suffering from heart trouble, but [?lately] had seemed improved in health. Her loss will be most keenly felt, not only by her husband, and children, [?but] also by a very large circle of friends. Mrs. Gaydon was an ardent worker in the cause of charity and her sympathetic disposition endeared her to all with whom she came in contact. All through the Great War she worked for the Red Cross Society and ever since the Armistice she had been a member of the health committee of the Simla Convalescent Home. For 21 years she was treasurer of the Neil Street Methodist Church Help Society of which she also was twice president, and a life member of the committee. The General Hospital Help Society included her among its members. Croquet and gardening were her relaxations and she was a member of the Toowoomba Croquet Club.

Mrs. [?Gaydon] is survived by her husband, [?Mr.] Alex Gaydon, a well-known business man in Toowoomba, and daughter, Mrs. G. W. Martin, Brisbane. The funeral took place on Christmas afternoon, at the Drayton Cemetery.
