MISS FRANCES BULMER
The death of Miss Frances Bulmer occurred at St. Vincent's Hospital on Sunday after an illness of six weeks. She was the eldest daughter of the late Rev. John Bulmer, who was the first missionary and founder of the Lake Tyers Aboriginal Station, and was for some time her father's assistant. For over 30 years she was a masseuse at Royal Melbourne Hospital, resigning that position, two years ago owing to ill-health. She was still attending the Caulfield Hospital up to her last illness. She also served abroad during the last war.
The funeral, which was private, took place at Bairnsdale yesterday.
