Obituary

MR JULES DUNLOP DONNER Following a brief illness the death occurred in the Whakatane District Hospital last week of Mr Jules Dunlop Donner, of Ohope, who was well known in the Bay of Plenty and Poverty Bay districts. He was the only son of the late Mr and Mrs Philip Donner, early and prominent residents of Gisborne. Mr Jules Donner, who was aged 60, was born in Gisborne, and after preliminary schooling in New Zealand completed his education at Charterhouse School, in the United Kingdom. He served through the First World War and later returned to New Zealand, taking up land in the Waimana district after an interval. More recently he had been living in retirement at Ohope. He was the only surviving member of his family connection, one sister having predeceased him.

MR T. ANDERSON, MURUPARA

The recent death of Mr T. Anderson, a Murupara storekeeper, at Rotorua was greeted with regret and sympathy towards his wife and young family by residents of the Murupara district. An indication of the esteem in which he was held by both Maori and Pakeha was shown in the large attendance at the tangi at Rangitahi Pa. In many ways he rendered service to the district, and his advice and help was often sought.
