Mrs. Augusta Breust, who died
at Bectric, Temora, a few days
ago, was one of the pioneers of
the district, where she resided for
32 years. She was the mother of
14 children, all of whom are alive
and married, with large families.
Deceased leaves 95 grandchildren,
16 great grandchildren, and five
great great grandchildren, her to-
tal descendants being 130. Nearly
the whole country surrounding
Bectric was cleared and settled
upon by members of her family.
In this way the value of the hold-
ings had been created, and to-day
it is estimated at £150,000.
