The many friends of Mr. John Roughan and family, Lawrence, will hear, with sincere regret, of the death of his son, Mr. Thomas Peter Roughan, who passed away on August 2, at the age of 30 years. The news (says the ' Tuapeka Times ') caused a feeling of deep and painful surprise, as he was known to be a young man only 30 years of age, and to all appearances the very perfection of health, and had been seen tabout town as usual only a few days previously. Indeed, he only felt compelled to take to his bed on Thursday evening, and his death took place on tha following Sunday night about 11 o'clock The deceased, who was a native of Lawrence, was a fine type of young fellow, and was very popular among young men of his class throughout the district because of his genial manner and agreeable nature. It need hardly be said that there is deep sympathy for his aged father in his affliction. The funeral took place on Wednesday, August 5, the remains being followed to the cemetery by the largest numhier of people from fill parts of the district that had ever been seen in Lawrence under similar circumstances. A feature of the cortege was the great number of young men, whose presence showed the estecim in winch the deceased was held by them. The burial service was read by the Very Rev. Mgr. O'Leary.— R.l.
