AGED COUPLE’S DEATH
BOTH PASS AWAY ..WITHIN TEN MINUTES. fßy Telegraph—Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, July 29. Tragedy visited No. 5, Coleridge St. Sydenham, in the early hours of Sunday morning, when the father and mother of a family resident there died within ten minutes of each other. By a queer coincidence neither knew of the shadow of death hovering over the other.
One was John Quinlan, aged seven-ty-five years, and the other Mrs Bridget Quinlan who had been suffering from bronchitis for two years, and her illness became 'sierious on Friday night, when a doctor was called in. Mr Quinlan was taken ill on Tuesday last, and his condition towards the end of the week was so serious that it was not deemed advisable to tell him of his wife’s illness.
