Late Christina Cameron
"The death occurred at Cunderdin on Monday of this week of Christina Cameron the small daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Cameron, of Carnamah. From the information we have been able to obtain it appears that the deceased child was holidaying with her grandmother at Cunderdin and had been ill for about a fortnight prior to her death. The sympathy of their circle of friends goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Cameron in their sudden and sad bereavement. Mr. and Mrs. Cameron have resided in the Carnamah district for about twelve months, Mr. Cameron being employed by Mr. W. Bodycoat, the Carnamah Road Board and Mr. H. Henning."
