I've just transcribed the death notice for Mary (not real sure of death date) from an online newspaper image at TROVE.

MRS. THOMAS DWYER
Widespread general regret was expressed at the death of Mrs Thomas Dwyer, which took place at her her residence, "Tara," Mia Mia, early on the morning of August 10 [? faint]. Mr Dwyer, who was 71 years of age, was the widow of Mr. Thomas Dwyer who for many years was the owner and licensee of the Mia Mia Hotel. Mr. Dwyer was also the valuer and rate collector for the shire of Mclvor for nearly forty years. Mrs. Dwyer was a native of Ireland, but spent practically her whole adult life in Mia Mia. She was greatly beloved by a large circle of friends. Her loving nature was most clearly shown by her attitude towards her six step-children—her husband having previously married a daughter of the late Mrs Westblade, of Flower Hill Estate, Mia Mia, who, at her death, left six young children. The writer did not know for many years that Mrs. Dwyer was not the mother of these children so utterly devoted was she to them, and they reciprocated her affection warmly. She had three children, Miss Kitty, who lived with her, John, whose home is in New Zealand, and Charles, who lives in Melbourne. She had been in delicate health for many years, but had only taken to her bed about eight weeks before her death She was devotedly nursed during her illness by her daughter and stepdaughters. Throughout her illness she was constantly visited by the Very Rev. Fr. O'Dee, P.P., of Heathcote. Her funeral to the Kyneton Cemetery was very largely attended. The Rev. Fr. O'Dee held a service at the house and accompanied the funeral as far as Barfold, when he had to return to Heathcote for other duty. The Rev. Fr. Fitzpatrick, of Kyneton, officiated at the grave. The coffin was carried by Messrs. Michael Dwyer, John, and Michael Dargan, Joseph and Edward Dwyer, and Augustine Linklater, the sons, nephews, and grandson of her late husband. The day following the funeral Mass was offered at her home by the Rev. Fr. O'Dee for her eternal repose. R.I.P.
