A SUDDEN DEATH.
Mk Gkokue Peach, a well-known and highly - respected resident of Aich Hill, died suddenly yesterday afternoon, apparently from heart disease. He was driving along with a load of wood, and when in front of Mr A. Lee's grocery shop, Great North Road, he was noticed to fall backwards in the cart. Mr Lee ran out to his assistance, and seeing that he was evidently in a dangerous condition, Mr Lee, assisted by some others, removed Mr Peace into his house. Messengers were despatched for medical aid, and also for members of Mr Peace's family. Dr. Walker was the firet medical gentleman in attendance, but could do nothing towards relieving the sufferer. Mr Peace recovered consciousness, and died shortly afterwards in the arms of his daughter Kate, her mother being also present. Dr. Lewis arrived just in time to pronounce that life was extinct. The body was then removed to the residence of the deceased. As Dr. Walker is prepared to certify as to the cause of death, an inquest will not be necessary. Mr Peace was a native of Kirkwall, Scotland, and came to this colony about thirty years ago. For the last twenty years he has resided in Arch Hill, and being a hard-working, industrious man, haa left his wife and family fairly provided for, having acquired a household property. Deceased was 55 years of age. He leaves a wife, one son, and six daughters to mourn their loss. Although in considerable pain when first seized deceased passed away peacefully. Pie said, "Lift mo up, lift me up, or I'll die," and then passed away. Deceased was a consistent Christian, and respected by all with whom he was acquainted. About the time of his father's death, the son, George Peace, was training in the Domain, and was selected to go to Dunedin to represent the Amateur Athletic Club in the forthcoming Champion Walking Match. Under the circumstances, he will, of course, be unable to accept the position.
