Gladys Illawarra Coward

Gladys Illawarra Fuller

Obituary.

The keenest sympathy (says the 'Sunday Times') is felt for Mr. and Mrs. George Fuller and their family in the death of their daughter. Mrs, Stanley Coward. As Miss Gladys Fuller, the daughter of the deputy leader of the Opposition was one of the prettiest and most popular of Sydney's society girls. She got married on January 20th at St Stephen's Church to Mr. Stanley Coward, son of Mrs. H. B. Coward. Carrawobbitty, Mosman. Mr. and Mrs. Coward made a honeymoon trip to Japan, and since their return they have been living at Mr. Coward's station, Lila Springs, Burke. It was here, on November 1, at the age of 23, that she died suddenly from an attack of typhoid fever of the worst kind. The news of her death comes as a great shock to her many friends, as they remember her on the occasion of her last visit to Sydney, only a few weeks ago, when she was looking as well and as pretty as ever.

Talking of sorrow reminds me of the sudden and quite unexpected death of Mrs. Stanley Coward who was lovely Gladys Fuller, (the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Fuller) .which has quite upset people. Only 24 years old. and every possible thing she could want — money—a gorgeous home— a devoted husband, !?.- everything except life! She was only married early this year, and now all we have to remember her by is a Church service :u St. James Church and memories of her beauty and charming ways.
