Sudden Death: Mrs. Charles Larkin.
(From Our Correspondent).
Many of your readers will regret very much to hear of the sudden death of Mrs Charles Larkin, which sad event occurred in Sydney on Monday night. The deceased had been in the city less than a week, and had gone hither to seek medical advice. Word was received here too late for her husband to reach her bedside before she passed away. The deceased lady is an old Mudgeeite, and the family of which she was a member - that of the Sheppards - was well known in your district. Up to her marriage she had been in the service of the Education Department, and had had charge of the Ben Bullen public school. She took an interest in patriotic movements in the district, and was also a willing worker in connection with the church, having acted as organist at the religious services held in the local church8
