It is almost needless to speak of the amiable, benevolent and social qualities of this truly estimable lady, every act of whose life may have been traced to some disinterested motive.

Considine, District Medical Officer under the Board of Health, and who had only just recovered from the malignant disease, to which their infant daughter has also become victim, simultaneously with a young mother. The premature death of Mrs Considine under such distressing circumstances – for she was indeed exemplary in the domestic, social and religious duties – must be cause of deep and lasting grief to her affectionate family, as well as of sincere regret to many friends who loved her for those generous virtues and kindly feelings congenial to a noble nature.
