By-this morning’s train for Christchurch, en route to Wellington, where he will in future reside, Mr Benjamin Lyons left the district after having resided at Stafford for the past 61 years. Coming from London to Victoria in 1837, then a lad of twenty, he came to New Zealand when the rush to the Otago diggings broke out, and was at the Dunstan and Gabriel’s Gully. From Otago he went to Greymouth and thence to Stafford, in 1868, where he has since resided, carrying on a well--nown storekeeping business with the late Mr L. Raphael for some years, and for the past thirty years on his own. Mr Lyons was a notable figure throughout that long period of years. He was for many years Chairman and a member of the School Committee, and took a keen interest in the Literary Institute. He has seen the busiest days of Stafford when the whole district was one of the liveliest mi'ning centres of Westland till now it is deserted, with little to remind one of those s'.irring times, when the earth was being delved so vigorously and giving so freely of its golden values. His popular figure will be missed by passers by of the old shop from the verandah, where he always had a cheery word for the large circle of friends who knew him so well and there will be general regret that recent happenings have caused a breaking up of the home, and his leaving the place he loved so well.
