We regret to have to record the death of Mrs. Laura McIntosh, which took place on Tuesday during the absence from Shanghai of her husband, Capt. min. McIntosh, thea Master of the str. Tungchow. Mrs. McIntosh azrived here from Australia in 1901, the year of the marriage. She was well known to many by reason of her beautiful voice and was recognized as an artist well above the average. For some time she was the Jeading soprano at St. Francis Xavier's Cathedral, Adelaide, South Australia, and for several years she delighted many in Shanghai with her singing and playing, being always counted as one of the leading artists on the programme of any Scottish concert. Unfortunately, she had been so ill for the last four or five years that she had to give up all concert work. Mrs. McIntosh was one of the earliest members of the Shanghai, Ladies' Golf Club, wih which she had been associated for 17 years. During her residence in China she lost both her father and mother.
The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon at the Bubbling Well Cemetery after a service at St. Joseph's Church conducted by Father MeDonald, s.3. Many beautiful floral tributes were sent.
