Mary Eleanor Younge

OBITUARY - MRS. MARY ELEANOR.YOUNGE
By the death of Mary Eleanor, wife of Mr. J. D. Younge, the village of Buxton has lost one of its prominent daughters and the Friendship Wesleyan Church a devoted member and class leader.
For some time, Mrs. Younge was not enjoying the best of health but, was always up and down doing something.
On Monday she complained of not feeling well and during the day was confined to her bed.
Her condition was not regarded as serious hence the surprise when her death was announced.
Of a genial and charitable disposition - she will be remembered for many a day.
Of the deceased, it could be said, that she was "mother" to everybody.
She will be sadly missed and by those In particular who are in the habit of spending a Bank Holiday at Buxton and to those who go up to play cricket.
Of a truth, it could be said of her, that her house was noted for its hospitality.
To the husband and children especially those who are absent from borne, the” Daily Chronicle" offers its sympathy. And may she rest in peace.

I quickly scanned through the pages of the Reports of the Commissioners of the Department of Lands and Mines, 1899-1954. The outstanding feature of the reports between 1899 and 1915; are land tenure for East Indians and the reports of deaths of workers in the interior other than drowning.
