Death of Mrs Crisp senr
BERRIDALE, Monday.
Mrs. Crisp Senr. died this morning. The funeral will leave Gegedzerick for Boloko Cemetery at 9.30 on Wednesday morning, and the burial will take place at two o'clock.

FUNERAL OF MRS CRISP SENIOR AT BOLOCO CEMETERY.
As announced in the last issue of the "Manaro Mercury" arrangements were made for the burial of the late Mrs. Crisp at the Boloco cemetery on Wednesday. The death of Mrs. Crisp took place on Monday last at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. C. Woodhouse, Gegedzeick, and on Wednesday morning the funeral left for Boloco at half past nine o'clock. A large number of vehicles and horsemen followed the hearse, and at the conclusion of the journey there were about fifty vehicles, numbers of residents on horseback, on bicycles, and on foot. The remains were taken to St. James Church of England, where the Rev. W. Cowan, Rector of the West Manaro Parish, read the service. The church was effectively draped by Mr. and Mrs Rose senr. of Boloco. The coffin was then carried to the burial ground, where the Rector referred to the excellent qualities of the departed, her benevolent and amiable disposition, and the many kindly acts performed during her lengthy residence in the district. The remains were then placed in the family vault at the Boloco Church, where rest also those of her late husband, Mr. Amos Crisp senr, and their two daughters Eliza Jane and Grace Susan. Wreaths were sent from Sydney by Mrs G. Crisp, Herr Hugo Alpen. Mr. E.O. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Searight and the members of the deceased's family. The scene at the grave was an impressive one, the attendance of numerous relatives and residents testifying to the esteem in which the deceased lady was held by all sections of the community. The funeral arrangementa were in the hands of Mr. J. Roddan of Cooma, the coffin being of polished cedar, with silver mountings. The coffin plate bore the name of the deceased, (Elizabeth Crisp) date of death, and age, while at the head and foot in raised letters were the lines "Rest in Peace," and "At rest." The late Mrs. Crisp's birthday is in July, and had she lived a few weeks longer she would have reached her 82nd year. After living at Nimitybelle for 10 years, at the age of 22 years she married Mr Amos Crisp and proceeded to Jimenbuen, where she resided for a period of sixty years. At this time there was only one other European woman, living about five miles distant, on that side of the Snowy River. Altogether Mrs. Crisp lived in the Manaro district about seventy years, her mother, Mrs. Williams, being one of the first free-born natives of New South Wales. Mr. Amos Crisp senr. died many years since, and, as stated previously, was interred in the family vault at Boloco. Their family numbered twelve viz five daughters and seven sons. Of the daughters Mrs. C. Woodhouse (Gegedzerick), Mrs. B. Crawford (Orbost, Victoria), and Mrs. O'Hara (Sydney) survive two having died at the ages of 26 and 25 years respectively, the Misses Eliza Jane, and Grace Susan Crisp. The sons are Messrs Amos Crisp, Bangalow, Cootamundra, John Crisp, Ironmongie; William Crisp, Kaludah; David Crisp, Spring Vale; Edward Crisp, Mittagong; Charles Crisp, Jimenbuen, and George Crisp, Matong. Messrs George Williams of Glenbog, and David Williams of Ingebyra, are brothers of the late Mrs. Crisp. For some time Mrs. Crisp has been in delicate health, and about twelve months since visited the residences of her sons for the purposes of change. Dr. Harrison attended the patient, and prescribed for her failing condition, but the great age at which she had arrived rendered medical skill powerless. The members of the family have received numerous letters and telegrams of sympathy from various parts of the State. One who was an old friend of the deceased lady, writes:— Mrs Crisp was born at Bargo in 1824. She was a pioneer of the Manaro district, as there were few white women residents at the time of her arrival; more especially west of the Snowy River, many residents of Manaro will long remember that good lady, who was one of these we may refer to as being of the old school of Australians— squatters they were called. One of those courageous women who with their partners in life were not afraid to face the solitude of the Australian wilderness, as it was in her early days and by their patience and energy assist in securing an independence for their families. Her homestead at Jimenbuen became one of the happiest on Manaro, and the unbounded hospitality of its occupants has been known for years to residents of the district. The writer was well acquainted with Mrs Crisp for over 40 years, and knew her many virtues. Her death now recalls with a vivid and grateful remembrance the days gone by when visiting that dear old home, the kindness of herself and her late husband who had predeceased her by 23 years. Her death was not unexpected, as for some time she had been gradually weakening. She had the happiness of seeing ten of her children well and respectably married, and other descendants reaching the third generation. Her remains were taken to the Boloco cemetery, the resting place of those whom she had loved and who had gone before her. Floral tributes were sent from many parts of the country, and the funeral was attended by a very large number of residents, every home for miles around being represented ; many coming long distances to show the last mark of their respect to their friend, and sympathy, esteem, and regard for her family. At the grave the Rev. W. Cowan delivered a most eloquent and impressive address. The pall bearers were Messrs N. C. Eccleston, Hugh Muggridge, Thomas O'Mara, Clarke, Harold Muggridge, and H. C. Merrett; who carried the wreaths which were handed to the grandchildren and placed by them on the grave.
