PERSONAL
When the sad news rapidly spread yesterday that Mrs. Isabella Gillam, wife of Mr. Arthur Gillam, had passed away at her residence in Wantley Street there were many deep expressions of regret. Death took place at 3 a.m. yesterday morning. The late Mrs. Gillam, who is believed to be one of the oldest female residents of the Warwick district, was born at Rosenthal in the year 1850. She was a daughter of the late Mr. John Locke, who came to this district from the Hunter River in the early forties. He was engaged as over seer on what was then known as Rosenthal Station. The late Mrs. Gillam was christened, confirmed, and married by Archdeacon Glennie in the old Church of England in Warwick, where the new Sunday-school now stands. She was educated in a private school in Warwick. Her, husband, who survives her, and who is also advanced in years, was for a lengthy period in the service of the Railway Department. The remaining members of the Locke family are Mrs. Stidolph, Miss Locke, Mrs. Beatty (Sydney), and Mr. Albert Locke (Brisbane). The late Mrs. Gillam was beloved by all who knew her, and her demise will be regretted not only by a large number of descendants - the grandchildren number 42 - but by a vast number of friends in both town and country. She leaves a family of nine, as follows - Mrs. A. Gilmour (Warwick), Mrs. C. Jensen (Yangan), Mr. Arthur Gillam (Crow's Nest), Mr. Charles Gillam (Atherton), Mr. William Gillam (Brisbane), and Messrs. Robert, George, Alfred and Fred Gillam (Warwick).
