MILLS. The Friends of the late Miss FANNY MILLS are informed that her funeral will leave the Funeral Chapel, 61 Unley road, on Friday, after a service at 2.45 for Cheltenham Cemetery. Oliver Raymond

"Fanny was a very genteel person, who kept to herself. Her house was old-fashioned. She wouldn't have electricity or a radio. She used candles, and the windows went down at 4 p.m. to shut out the cold air. Every Sunday Fanny went to the Salvation Army Citadel and also during the week. The Army band used to play in front of her house."

Her house was originally a house and shop kept by her mother. Apparently it had haberdashery: cottons and wools; however, it closed in the 1940s.

Fanny was slim and had a little voice. Rupert Ross was "her boy." Her garden had vines and an apricot tree. Rupert delivered milk to the milk house. She had a drip case outside.

Fanny was chesty at the end with bronchitis. She died at the St. Clair's Hospital, near Hyde Park Road, Goodwood in the Mitchell Street area.
