The deceased, who was well advanced in years, was in younger days a carpenter by trade, and was one who helped to build the business places of this district. For some conS siderable time he had spent a retired life, and of late he had become very feeble. He passed peacefully away at the South Wairarapa Hospital. He leaves a widow and grown-up family. It has been decided by the shopkeepers of Carterton to observe Monday next as a holiday. Special services were held in St. Mark's Church on Christmas Day, the Rev. R. Young, Vicar, officiating.
