Obituary - Late Shirley Parkin
"It is with extreme regret that we record the death of Shirley, the small daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. Parkin, who passed away in Perth on the 24th December, 1939, at the age of three years and two months. The deceased child, who had been suffering indifferent health for some months following on a bout of whopping cough was transferred from Three Springs hospital to the Perth children's hospital on the Sunday evening preceding her death. Her name was almost immediately placed on the danger list, and although the news of her death came as a great shock to all who had known her, it was not altogether unexpected. The sympathy of a wide circle of friends goes out to the bereaved parents and their two small sons, Ronald and Brian."
