Obituary:
Mrs. Allan McLean died at her daughter's (Mrs. Haldane's) residence, Hackney, on Thursday last, aged sixty-seven. The deceased lady arrived in the colony in 1837 in company with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dawson, who took up their abode at Strathalbyn as pioneers of the district. She was born at Teheran, in Persia, where her father held a position in the army of the Shah as drill instructor, and was decorated with the Star of Persia, a medal of great value, and still held by members of the family. The deceased lady was a brilliant conversationalist and excellent at repartee, and could vividly describe the Shah's gardens at Teheran and occurrences which she witnessed in Constantinople as a girl. She was married in South Australia to the late Mr. Allan McLean, of Strathalbyn, the South Australian pioneer ploughman, who died about two years ago. The late Mrs. McLean leaves five sons and six daughters and numerous grandchildren. About forty members of the family attended the funeral, which was conducted by the Rev. James Lyall.

Catherine married Allan McLEAN [1023] [MRIN: 4936], son of Donald McLEAN [960] and Christina McPHEE [979], on 29 Feb 1844 in Wheatsheaf Inn, Mount Barker, South Australia.
