The death occurred on Tuesday in her 85th year of Mrs. Charlotte Catherine Sherer, 41.Eaton-rise, Ealing, widow of Major-General J F Sherer (Bengal Staff Corps).  The late Mrs. Sherer was the daughter of Col. Philip Goldney,q.v. of the Indian Army, who was killed in the Mutiny. She spent much of her life in India - but she had lived for the past 12 years in Ealing.  For the last 2 1/2 years she had been an invalid, and two days before Christmas she met with a bad accident, fracturing her leg: she did not recover from its effects.

The funeral took place yesterday. A private service for relatives only was conducted at the house in the early morning by the Rev. J. B. Kite (vicar of Ealing, after which the motor-cortege left for Ore Cemetery. Hastings where the interment took place in the family grave.

Some very beautiful flowers were sent, including a wreath from the ladies and committee of the Home for Ladies in Grange Park, Ealing, in which, as also in work for dumb animals, Mrs. Sherer was keenly interested.
