THOMAS, which sad event took place at Whittlesea on Sunday last.  Mr. THOMAS has resided at Whittlesea for many years;  in fact we believe he was “the oldest inhabitant.”  He always took a lively interest in all matters connected with Whittlesea, the district around, and the natives of Ox Kraal Kamestone, and the other locations.  No committee was complete without his name to it.  Mr. THOMAS caught cold on a journey to Grahamstown, which settled on his chest, death resulting from congestion of the lungs.  We tender our deep sympathy to Mrs. THOMAS and family in their sad bereavement.   We regret to record the Death of Mr. MARSHALL of Wooburn District of Cathcart, which took place on the 16th Inst., after a long and painful illness.  The deceased was second son of the Late Mr. H. MARSHALL of Collingham, near Grahamstown, and came, as an infant, to this Colony with his parents who were Settlers of 1820.  His familiar face, and kind and hearty welcome to his hospitable home, will be long remembered by those who had the pleasure of knowing him.  His widow and family have our sincere sympathy in this their sad bereavement.   Friday, November 18, 1884   Mr. “Bertie” PHILLIPS was married on Thursday 20th inst., to Miss R.M.
