Obituary -There passed away at her residence, Yeulba, on the 13th instant, a very old and respected resident of this district, in the person of Naomi Earl Singleton, wife of Charles Singleton, of that town. Deceased was in her 83rd year. She was born at Cambridge, England, and came to Australia with her parents in 1853. She married Mr. William McMullen at Inglewood in I860, and he was accidentally killed in 1868. There were four sons of this marriage, viz., Robert McMullen, of Yalebone Creek, James McMullen, of' Bengalla, William McMullen of Glen Olaf, and John McMullen, of Boney Creek. She eventually married Charles Singleton, of Coogoon, in 1871. There were three children of this marriage, viz., Mrs. James Radford, senr., of Yeulba, Mr. Charles H. Singleton, of Roma, and Mr. George E. Singleton, of Dalby. In the death of Mrs. Singleton another link is severed in the chain of old pioneers who came to this country in the old sailing ships to blaze the track for the present generation.

GOLDEN WEDDING.
A very pleasant evening (writes a Yeulba correspondent) was spent in Yeulba on the 23rd May, the occasion being the golden wedding day of Mr. and Mrs. Singleton, at their residence, Creek Street, Yeulba. Many relatives and friends were present to congratulate the happy couple. I may mention that this event is the first of its kind ever held in this town. Amongst the guests were Mr. R. E. Freestone brother of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. Donal Singleton and daughter (nephew and niece of bridegroom), Mr. W. McMullen (son of the bride, by a former marriage), Mrs. J. Radford, senr. daughter of the happy couple, Mr. and Mrs. T. Kendrick, Mr. and Mrs. H. MiLoughlin, Mr. W. Kendrick, Mr. M. O'Brien, senr., Mrs. Ingram, Mrs. Armstrong, Mrs. J. Lindsay, senr., Mrs. J. Horrobin and daughter, Mrs. J. O'Brien, Mrs. M. O'Brien, junr., and Mrs. T. O'Brien. Five other sons of the bride were unavoidably absent, but sent handsome presents, and congratulatory telegrams. Numerous presents were also received from relatives and friends at long distances, who were unable to attend the function. Afternoon tea was dispensed, at which a very pretty wedding cake graced the centre of the table. The bride's age was 81, and the bridegroom's 75. The couple were married at Inglewood, on the 23rd of May, 1871, and came to Roma, where Mr. Singleton selected land on Blyth's Creek, now known as Bengalla, which he afterwards sold to Mr. J. E. McMullen (stepson), and came to Yeulba, where they have resided for over 30 years. The bride has 36 grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren.
