Obituary.

Mrs. Edith Hannah Langberg.
The late Mrs. Edith Hannah Langberg, who passed away at the Mount Gambier General Hospital on February 21, was born at Lucindale in 1878. In that district her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Gould, pursued farming operations, seven years later leaving for Hatherleigh, near Millicent, where they again engaged in work on the land. In 1892 they moved back to Conmurra, where, six years later, the father died, leaving Mrs. Gould and a family of five - two daughters and three sons - to carry on the property. The elder daughter was then 18 years of age, and the eldest son 15 years. The late Mrs. Langberg was often to be found toiling in the fields with her brothers, and the family made good. At the age of 35, deceased married Mr. G. W. Langberg and the couple settled near Lucindale. Mrs. Langberg was a great lover of flower gardens, and was particularly successful in this direction. She was a strong supporter of the Methodist Church during her younger life. On account of the deceased's health, they were obliged to relinquish farming and four years ago they retired in Mount Gambier, where the late Mrs. Langberg suffered continued ill-health. The only son of the marriage died in infancy. Deceased had a wide circle of friends in the Lucindale, Naracoorte, and Mount Gambier districts, where she was loved and respected by all.Her husband (Cr. G. W. Langberg,) one sister (Mrs. P. Burk, of Lucindale) and three brothers (Percival, Edmund and William Gould, of Conmurra and Woodleigh stations), survive.
