"HONORED BY HIGH ORDER
Mrs. Ellen Kinchington
The many friends of Mrs. Ellen Kinchington in the South Maitland district will be pleased to learn that she has been honoured by the King by having the distinguished order of M.B.E. conferred upon her.
This is the second distinction within the last twelve months as she was the recipient of the King's Jubilee Medal. Mrs. Kinchington whose daughter, Nurse Kinchington has lived in Kurri Kurri for many years resided with her during her lengthy stay in the coalfields district.
She has been a splendid charity worker in the Metropolitan area for the last 25 years, especially featuring in prisoners' aid work. Mrs. Kinchington has been decorated on account of her magnificent social service rendered to the State.
She had five sons all of whom saw active service in the late war, two of whom paid the supreme sacrifice. The honour conveyed upon her is all the more distinctive on account of being a Commonwealth honour of which there were only two other recipients."
