Notes for Elizabeth A HAWKE
THE PEOPLE'S WEEKLY, MOONTA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1898.
THANKS.
MR and MRS GODFREY and Family wish to sincerely thank all their kind friends for expressions of sympathy with them in their sad bereavement, and especially to thank Dr Archer for his kind attention.
Death.
HAWKE. - On the 30th of October, at Mr Godfrey's residence, Caroline-street, Moonta, Elizabeth A. Hawke, only daughter of the late Frederick Hawke, of Kapunda; aged 46 years and 10 months. Deeply regretted.
OBITUARY. - Profound regret was expressed in Moonta on Sunday when it became known that Miss Elizabeth A. Hawke had succumbed to an attack of pneumonia and pleurisy, from which she had been suffering for a few days only. Miss Hawke was unwell during the early part of last week, and on the Wednesday consulted Dr Archer. On Thursday she was compelled to keep her bed, and on Saturday serious symptoms set in, her medical attendant holding out little or no hope of recovery. The disease made rapid progress, and on Sunday the sufferer passed away at about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Miss Hawke was for very many years a teacher in the Moonta Bible Christian Sunday school, where she labored most consistently and was beloved by the scholars under her charge. The officers and teachers of the school are deeply grieved at the loss of such a valued worker. The deceased lady was also a member of the Moonta B.C. Concord Society, and almost every Sunday was to be found in the choir of the B.C. church. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon, in the presence of a large attendance. The Sunday school scholars headed the procession, the members of the Concord Society walking on either side of the hearse. The members of the Society were visibly affected and feelingly rendered several suitable musical selections both at the house and at the graveside. The grave was handsomely decorated with flowers, largely the work of Mrs R.C.C. Andrews. The Rev C. Martin conducted the funeral ceremony. Miss Hawke was 46 years of age, and highly respected by all who knew her. Much sympathy is expressed for Mr and Mrs Godfrey in their trouble. Amongst the many floral tributes was a farewell taken from the Concord Society. The wreath, which presented a very beautiful appearance, was composed of white pansies, white pinks, and snapdragons, with gracillimum fern interwoven; adiantum-cuneatum fern and white roses forming the base, whence the card was suspended on white silk ribbon, containing the words: 'With sincere sympathy from the B.C. Concord Society.' In the centre there was a harp design of black pansies and fern with a white brace, two strings of which were broken - emblematic of the sundered ties from the society of the late Miss E. Snell and the deceased. The wreath was designed and executed by Mr F. Scot Broad, and betokened great taste.
