It is with extreme regret that we record the death of Mr James Orr of Healey Street, who for many years was a resident of South Spit, which took place this morning. The deceased was a native of Belfast, Ireland, and 77 years of age. He came to the colonies some 56 years ago and for a long period of years was a very highly respected resident of South Hokitika.
