MABEL OSBORN ------X------ >From Our Own Correspondent ------X------ NEWCASTLE, October 30. When it became known in Newcastle on Saturday morning last that Mrs. Mabel OSBORN had passed away on the previous day, quite a gloom was cast over the town. The very real sympathy of many friends went out to her husband and parents. Mrs. OSBORN was the second daughter (Mabs) of Major and Mrs. W.T. GAGE, of this town. About 14 months ago she was married to Mr. A.A. OSBORN, the second son of the late Mr. A.A. OSBORN and Mrs. OSBORN, of the Mount, Newcastle, and had taken up her residence on their farm Balmoral, District of Bethlehem. The death took place at the residence of her cousins, Mr. and Mrs. J.H. STENT, of Bethlehem, where she had been taken from the farm for better attention and care. She seemed to have recovered very nicely from the grip of the influenza, and every hope was held for her final and perfect recovery, but on the morning of the 25th she passed away, the direct trouble being heart failure. Her friends in Newcastle have heard of the manner in which she had endeared herself to all with whom she came into contact in her new home. This was no matter of surprise, because she had always been known and highly esteemed and valued for her kind, cheerful, and helpful disposition. In many paths of usefulness she made herself known, and many will remember and ever value her for kindly ministrations of good. In connection with Christian work amongst the children in the Sabbath School she was up to the time of her leaving Newcastle, fully engaged, and the loving, thoughtful and earnest work done by her in this direction can never be measured. To the husband, father, mother, brothers and sisters who mourn the loss of one so dear, our heartfelt sympathy is extended.
