OBITUARY
-Mi;. JOHN BEVAN, EX-M.P. By Telegraph—Press Association. Hokitika, Last Night. The death of Mr. John Bevan, member for llokitilca in the House of Representatives twenty-seven years ago, occurred here this morning at 9 o'clock. He had held many important public positions, and was a most enthusiastic Freemason for fifty years, and was a Postmaster, Past and First Principal of the Pacific Royal Arch Chapter. As a Masonic ritualist, he had few equals and perhaps no superior in the Dominion. During his long term of office he was called upon to perform many important Masonic ceremonies, including the installation some years ago of the late Sir Donald McLean as District Master of Wellington. The deceased, who leaves a widow, was 74 years of age.
