Mrs. Thomas Petley died very suddenly Thursday evening, January 2, 1930. She had been in her usual good health up to that time. On New Years Day she took dinner with her daughter, Mrs. A.L.

Mrs. Petley was seldom ill and retained all her faculties. She had great interest in everything pertaining to her family and friends and to the affairs of the world. She was always a great reader of newspapers and magazines and was a really remarkable woman for her age. She was of a cheerful and uncomplaining disposition, always sympathetic with and finding excuses for the faults and failures of others. Her quaint humor and sound advice will be greatly missed in the homes where she is best known. Mrs. Petley was the daughter of Nancy and John Hamilton. Of that family of two sons and two daughters only the youngest now remains, Charles Hamilton, of Brisben.
