The Advertiser,
Wednesday 22 January 1908 An old colonist, Mrs. M. J. Trezise, died at her
residence, Clare, on January 7, in her 81st year. She was born at St.
Perrans, Zabolo, Cornwall, and came to the State with her parents in
1847. The family settled at the Burra, where the deceased was married to
Mr. Francis Trezise in 1848. Shortly afterwards Mr. Trezise took up land
in the Clare district, where the deceased had resided ever since. She
succumbed to an attack of influenza, aggravated by the heat. She has
left a widower; four sons (Mr. F. Trezise, of Warrandyte, Victoria; Mr.
Richard Trezise, of Gannawarra, Victoria; Mr. Henry Trezise, of Pine
Creek, Northern Territory; and Mr. William Trezise, late of Spalding),
five daughters (Miss Trezise and Mrs. W. J. Hamilton, of Adelaide; and
Mesdames E. K. Walker, of Petersburgh; H. J. Dart, of Sutherlands, and
H. Walker, of Clare), and 17 grandchildren. Contributed by Bob Bolitho |
