About a month ago the deceased lady was seized with an apoplectic fit, and though hopes were entertained that she would recover a serious relapse took place a few days ago, and she gradually sank. The late Mrs. Wehl was a colonist of 54 years, having arrived in the State with her brother (the late Baron von Mueller) in the year 1847. For a time she resided at Macclesfield, when, having married, she removed to Mount Gambier in the early fifties, where for many years her late husband practised. Leaving there about 20 years ago, she came with Dr. Wehl to reside in the Millicent district, where she had lived ever since. She was of a very kindly disposition, and was beloved and respected by all who knew her. She leaves a large family, all grown up, though only two sons Mr. F. E. Wehl, the representative of Dalgety & Co., Millicent, and Mr. W. M. Wehl and the Misses Wehl (2), of Millicent are now in South Australia. The funeral took place to-day, when a large concourse of people assembled to pay their last respects to one of the oldest and most respected of our residents. The Rev. E. Y. Simpkinson, M.A., conducted the service."
