  Baptised 28 January 1840 Port Macquarie NSW The Inverell Times (NSW : 1899 - 1954) Friday 22 August 1919 p 4 MRS. M. DE J. FORSYTH. There passed away at her home, Bukkulla, on Wednesday, one of the district's oldest and most respected residents, in the person of Mrs. Maria de Jcsu Forsyth. Deceased, who first saw the light of day at Port Macquarie in the year 1840, had thus reached the good old age of 79 years. Leaving Port Macquarie with her parents, who in those early days in search of fortune came to the north- western part of the State, where the pioneers were few and far between, and there being no school the parents sent their child back to Port Macquarie, where she received her education. After spending her early days there, she returned to her parents' home. Later she married the late John Forsyth, a native of Glasgow, Scotland, who predeceased her 29 years ago. Coming to this district when Inverell was in its early infancy, the old lady was able to give a most interesting account of the township from its first store to the present day. She was a grand old soul, whose charity and benevolence will long live in the memory of those who came her way. Deceased leaves a family of seven daughters and four sons, all of whom were present to pay their last respects to the departed. Besides the children mentioned, there are 55 grandchildren and 40 great-grandchildren. The cortege left the residence of her daughter, Mrs. C. Gollege, Henderson street, the remains being interred in the Pres- byterian portion of the cemetery. Mr. C. S. Thorley had charge of the mortuary arrangements.
