MRS. J. WELLSTEAD. SEN.

The death occurred at Albany last week of Mrs. John Wellstead, sen., in her 80th year. The deceased lady was the wife of the late John Wellstead, the pioneer of the pastoral industry at Bremer Bay. When their eldest son, John, married, some 20 years ago, the old couple left the station and took up their residence in Albany. It was here that the husband breathed his last 11 years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Wellstead reared a large family, of whom eight survive. Three of the sons, John, George, and Robert, are on the Bremer Bay station, while the youngest son, Roderick, is located at Ravensthorpe.
