Mrs. Sarah Ann Wilson

After a long illness Mrs. Sarah Ann Wilson passed peacefully away at her residence, 40 Cumming Street, Toowoomba, on March 14. Mrs. Wilson was an ardent and loyal member of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church for 37 years, during which time she took an active interest in the Ladies' Guild, of which she was vice-president. She was also a keen member of the West Toowoomba Croquet Club until forced through ill-health, from an active to a social member. Her home life was marked by unselfish devotion and motherly affection, and her sincere and loving nature endeared her to all who knew her. This was evidenced by the many floral tributes at her funeral, which left St. Andrew's Church after a service conducted by the Rev. Whyte on Monday afternoon. Mrs. Wilson is survived by her husband, five daughters, Grace (Ipswich), Mrs. Potter (Brisbane), Mrs. Starke (Sydney), Mrs. Mackay Smith (Brisbane), and Fon (Toowoomba), and three sons, Bill (Ipswich), Alex (Toowoomba), and Stewart (Melbourne).
