Gloom was cast over the whole of Gulgong (NSW) last Friday when it was reported that Mrs Myra Herrick, wife of Mr Ron Herrick, was found dead at the rear of the Commercial Hotel, Gulgong. The discovery was made about 6.10am, and it is presumed that she fell from a window on the first floor. It is believed that she received head injuries, which probably caused her death. Sergeant Southern (Gulgong), assisted by Sergeant Cook (Mudgee), is investigating, it is understood an inquest will shortly be held. The deceased, who was 31 years of age, leaves a husband and one son to mourn their loss, and to these and all relations deepest sympathy is extended. The funeral took place at Orange last Saturday afternoon.
