The late Mrs. C.F. Braine, whose death at the Albert Hospital, London, we recorded yesterday, was, for a good many years, a well-known resident of Nuwara Eliya, and will be greatly missed by a host of friends at the United Club. She was the daughter of the Rev. J.Y. Becher and married Mr. C.F. Braine, who was for many years in charge of Manikwatte Estate, Dikoya, and who died in hospital in March, 1896, as the result of a fall from his horse. There are four children--Mr. C.S. Braine, now in charge of Mawatte estate, Negombo; Mrs. Combe, wife of Mr. L.H. Combe, of Messers. Boustead Bros; Mr. W. B. Braine, of Yataderiya estate, Kelani Valley; and Miss Muriel Braine, who went home with her mother last August, and who is now in England.
