OBITUARY

CONSTABLE OSULUVAN, RAVENSBOURNE.

General regret was felt in Dunedin and districts when it became known that Constable O'Sullivan, of Ravensbourne, had passed away on Saturday afternoon. It was only a few days ago it was announced that the deceased was about to retire from the police force on pension on account of ill health. Constable O'Sullivan had been about 24 years in the force, being only 52 years at the time of his death. Under ordinary circumstances, the deceased, who was a man of splendid physique, would have been good for active duty for the next 10 years at least, were it not that he contracted p, severe cold some months ago, which he was never able to shake off, pneumonia supervening. The remains were brought to St. Joseph's Cathedral on Tuesday morning, when a Requiem Mass was celebrated by Father Howard. The funeral took place in the afternoon, and was very largely attended, the interment taking place at the Southern Cemetery. The Rev. Father Howard officiated at the Graveside. A widow and a family of eight children ar» left to mourn their loss. — R.I.P.
