    • 1937 Obituary Wagga Wagga Advertiser December 9 1937 Mrs E Nest

      The death occurred at her residence in Coolamon yesterday morning of one of the oldest and most highly respected residents of Coolamon and district, Mrs Elizabeth Nest of Wallace St., Coolamon at the grand old age of 93 years. Mrs Nest who had lived in Coolamon for the past 41 years was born in Liverpool (Eng) and came to Australia with her parents when she was 10 years of age. She was a daughter of Mr and Mrs George Needham of Brucedale, near Wagga. The sailing ship in which Mrs Nest came to Australia was the Phoenix and in those days it took six months for it to come from England to Australia. On arrival in Australia Mrs Nest, with her parents, went to the Ballarat gold diggings. She often spoke of Thunderbolt, the bushranger and was well acquainted with the happenings of interest which took place in the early days. After residing for a period at Ballarat the Needham family came to Brucedale. While she was out riding with her father at Brucedale one day, his horse bolted and he was thrown against a tree and killed. This occurred about 77 years ago. After residing for about 23 years at Brucedale Mrs Nest married Mr William James Nest who predeceased her 30 years ago. After her marriage she and her husband went to reside at Young for 20 years and then went to Coolamon where she lived until her death. Mrs Nest followed nursing and was well known for her ability in this profession, especially in the days when transport was by horseback, spring cart and later sulky. She is survived by one son, Mr Sidney Nest of Coolamon and one daughter Mr(sic) James Keys of Coolamon. The funeral will leave her residence at 3 o'clock this afternoon for the Coolamon cemetery.
