Woodville Examiner, 27 March 1905
GLEESON - At Kiritaki, on Friday, 24th March, Elizabeth, the beloved wife of Willie Gleeson; aged 28 years. Deeply regretted.
The sudden death of Mrs Gleeson which occurred at 10.30 p.m., has saddened us all. She leaves four young children behind her; there is no care like a mother's. Mr Gleeson has the sympathy all around here in his bereavement. The funeral is to be at Woodville, as the family have many friends there.
