Millicent, July 23.
A resident of Millicent for 62 years and a South Australian colonist of 86 years in the person of Mrs. Louisa Bant Boase, passed away at the residence of her daughter Mrs. E.J. Hann, on Tuesday morning. Her health had been feeble for the past three years and death was not unexpected. Mrs. Boase was born at Plymouth, England, on September 24, 1851, and landed at Port Adelaide from the ship "Oceania" at the age of two years. Her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Sloggett, were amongst the earliest arrivals in the district. They were living at Naracoorte when their elder daughter met and married the late Mr. Henry Boase, who died at Millicent 31 years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Boase resided at South End before settling at Millicent. There was a family of nine, six of whom survive. They are Messrs. T.J., W. H. and C.L. Boase of Millicent, F.W. of Meningie and E. Boase of Mount Gambier post office, and Mrs. E. J. Hann of Millicent. There are 19 grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Apart from
enthusiastic work for the Methodist Church, Mrs. Boase devoted herself to her home and children. Four grandsons acted as pallbearers at the funeral on Wednesday which was conducted by Rev. L. R. Barker.

The cause of death was senile dementia ‎(10 months)‎ and arteriosclerosis ‎(years)‎. She died in Millicent.
