DEATH.
McKEAND.—On the 19th April, at Keandstead, the residence of her son, Geo. W. McKeand, Charlotte, relict of the late E. Lee McKeand, at the age of 65 years.
Charlotte McKeand, who died on April 19, 1865, was the wife of a giddy financial agent, McKeand, who had an office at the top of Queen-street, beside where, a chemist named Drew had a shop, near where Dr. Hugh Bell resided, at the corner of Queen and George streets. McKeand made much money and lost it again in a fashion common with giddy men, and all that is left to perpetuate his name is his wife’s grave at Paddington, He was the sixty per cent magnate of that period. He owned the land now occupied by James Cowlishaw and Herbert Ferry on the Breakfast Creek road.
