OBITUARY


NORAH, LADY DUNLEATH


I am sure members of the Avicultural Society will be extremely

sorry to learn of the death of Norah, Lady Dunleath, which took place

somewhat suddenly at Newbury Hospital, after a very serious operation.

Lady Dunleath was a vice-president of the Society and had been for

some years. She lived in Northern Ireland and was very keen on

the keeping of birds. She had several aviaries with excellently thought

out shelters, and always had the flights beautifully kept with shrubs

and grass growing inside. She kept a good collection of Pheasants

and various small foreign birds ; also had a certain amount of Ducks

and Geese, which interested her greatly. Screamers she had at liberty

in the grounds, which were very tame and looked most attractive.

I am sure the members of the Avicultural Society will desire to express

their sympathy to her family. She will be greatly missed, as one

doesn’t often meet with a woman who had such kindness of heart,

consideration for others, and strong personality ; and the world is

indeed poorer by her loss.
