SPRINGFIELD, Monday. On Friday last, another of our old and
respected pioneer residents passed over to the great
majority, in, the persona of MRS. J. SHEEHAN, wife of Mr.
J. Sheehan, Springfield, and relict of the late DENIS
NOONAN, engineer and millwright, of County Carlow, Ireland,
in her 79th year. Mrs. Sheehan arrived in the colony in the
Persian, ship, in. the year 1857, and. came to Springfield
34 years ago, being one of the first of our settlers. Here
she has lived ever since. She leaves two daughters - Mr s.
G. Adams, Rock View, and Miss Noonan, teacher of the Roman
Catholic school at Scottsdale for the past 20 years. The
funeral left her late residence, Springfield, on Sunday
last, at 3 p.m., for St. Patrick R.C. Church, Scottsdale,
where the coffin remained until this morning, when it was
taken up to Launceston by the morning train, to be buried
at Glen Dhu. The large funeral and the number of wreaths
sent by her friends about the districttestified to the
respect she was held in by the residents. Although of a
retiring nature, many will miss her cheery face and
hospitality. It is thus that link by link the chain:
between the past and present is severed. Many of the old
pioneers of the district attended the funeral, to show a
mark of respect to their old friend.  Launceston Examiner
