Obituary | 2 June 1922 | "The Forbes Advocate", Forbes, NSW, Australia; OBITUARY. MRS M. H. HAY. It is our sad duty to chronicle the death of a well-known resident, of the Forbes, district in the person of Mrs Mary Hannah Hay, wife of Mr. James Hay, which took place at her residence, North Hill, yesterday morning. Deceased was a daughter of the late Mr Pierce and of Mrs. Collits, and the 52 years of her life was mostly spent in Forbes district, where she was highly respected. She was twice married, her former husband being Mr M. J. O'Brien, being well-known in the district. For a number of years and right up till the time of her death, she carried on the business of the Ideal Tea Rooms in Forbes, but the malignant growth which brought about her death caused her to relinquish active management of the concern for some months, and the business has been lately managed by her husband. There is no issue to either marriage, but in addition to her husband she is survived by a sorrowing mother and a large number of sisters and brothers. The interment this afternoon will be to the Methodist portion of the local cemetery.2 |
