The death occurred in Launceston, on Saturday last, of Matron Edith Galloway, well remembered and respected by Scottsdale residents. She succeeded Matron Cameron at the N.E.S.M. Hospital 25 years ago, and remained
there for 15 years, during which time she did not have a holiday and seldom left the hospital even for a few hours. A nursing sister in World War 1, Matron Galloway was held in high esteem by returned men and carried the complete confidence of the hospital board during her stay there. She was a sister of the late Mr. Alec. Galloway, who for many years practised as a chemist in Scottsdale.
Amongst the passengers arriving in Melbourne by the steamer Orsova from England on January 2 was Sister Edith Galloway, who for come time has been in charge of work in connection with the Repatriation Department, Belgrave Square, London. Before leaving a valuable presentation was made by Colonel Plant, who warmly eulogised the valuable services rendered to the department. Regret was expressed that Sister Galloway was forced through ill-health to relinquish the important position she had held for so long. She will tbe leaving Melbourne shortly for, Launceston. Sister Galloway was formerly in charge of No. 12 A.G.H. Cameron-street.
