The death occurred yesterday afternoon at Mrs. M. E. Northrop’s private hospital, Best Street, of Mrs. Grant, a very old and respected resident of the Coast, at the ripe old age of 89 years. The deceased lady was born in Kent,
England, and landed in Launceston, which was a mere hamlet then, 76 years ago. Since growing to adult age, deceased lived chiefly at Don, Devonport, and Penguin, coming to Devonport ten years ago, on the death of her husband. The late Mrs. Grant was a true type of “mother of Israel”, and was popular with and respected by all. Her end came suddenly. Half an hour prior to her demise, she appeared to be in normal health but collapsing, she suddenly passed away. The deceased lady had been actively associated with the Congregational church for many years and years ago was a Sabbath schoolteacher in that church. She took a keen interest in religious affairs. The funeral leaves the residence of Mrs. M. E. Northrop, Best Street, at 2.30 on Saturday for the Don cemetery.

Owen Lewis conducted the services of the Congregational Church at the graveside, and the pallbearers were Messrs. J. T. Henry, S. Priest, E. Ingledew and A. J. Stokes.
