DEATH OF AN OLD INHABITANT.

—Mrs. Mary Harwood, an old and highly-respected resident of Lower Mitcham, expired on the 23rd October at the ripe old age of 88. The deceased was the mother-in-law of the late Mr. Fred. Harwood, the noted Mitcham cricketer. In her early days she was living with the Conyngham family, and well remembered the frequent visits of George III. to the Marquis’s town house. The funeral took place on Saturday last in the Parish Churchyard, the coffin being covered with black cloth, with black and ormolu ornaments. The Vicar, Rev. D. F. Wilson, performed the solemn rites of the Church, and there were many persons present to pay their last respects to an old and esteemed friend.
