OBITUARY.
On Tuesday of last week, the Government Native Dispenser was sent for by Te Puhi Mauritu, of Oparure, and on arrival found that Te Puhi was very ill with pneumonia. The following Friday (14th) morning, Te Puhi, who evidently felt better, _ rode over from Oparure to Te Kuiti and called to see his adviser, who ordered him to return as soon as possible to his home. After staying for an hour or so in the township, Te Puhi returned to Oparure, dismounted from his horse, staggered into his house and expired. . Deceased was about thirty-six years of age, and leaves a widow and four children. He was an honest, straight-forward Native respected by Maori andPakeha alike. A large Maori tangi is being held, at which most of the surrounding Natives have attended in large numbers to pay their last respects to their deceased brother.
It is with regret that we learn of the sudden death at Wellington, on Monday last of Mrs W. C. Kensington, the wife of the Secretary for Lands. The deceased lady was run over by a fire brigade motor car and killed instantaneously. Mr Norman Kensington, Government surveyor, who is well known in the Ohura district, is a son of the deceased.
