A wave of sympathy for the bereaved relatives passed over the town on Saturday morning, when the death of Jean Mary (Molly) elder daughter of Mr and Mrs R.J. (Robin) McBride, of Aberdeen, was announced. Molly who would have reached her fifteenth year on 11th May next, was taken ill whilst at Girton Proprietary School, Adelaide, where she was a pupil. She was later brought home to Aberdeen, where her illness assumed such a serious turn that despite the best medical and nursing skill procurable, she passed away on Friday evening last. Molly who was born at Burra, was educated first at the local Church of England Day School and last year went to Girton to complete her studies. She had a remarkably sweet and sympathetic disposition and was a great favourite with all who knew her. At the funeral which took place at Kooringa on Sunday, was seen one of the longest corteges that has passed through the town. The Rev. D.L. Redding conducted the services at the home and at the grave side. The casket was carried by Messrs G.H. Dow, M W. Bednall, Max Pearce and K.C. Sandland. The sides of the grave were a mass of beautiful flowers and the flower laden casket also rested on a bed of lovely blooms. Many other floral tributes were received by the bereaved parents.
