OBITUARY

MR. HFNRY WINDLE, LONGRIDGE VILLAGE. Very sincere regret was felt in the RiVetstiale district when the sad news was received that Mr. H. Windle, a well known farmer at Longridge Village, met with a fatal accident on Saturday nig-ht. It appears tiiat whilst driving home from Rrversdale his horse bolted, and, the spring-cart upsetting, he was pinned underneath. When assistance arrived twenty minutes after the cart was seen to capsize, the deceased was lifeless. The feeling of regret at Mr Windle's untimely e,n,d (says the ' Southern Standard ') us very Keen in tihe Kivorsd'ale and Balfour districts, and also in Gore, wheiro his straightforwardness and honesty made him miuch respected by those with whom he did business. He bore an enviable reputation for honesty. There are many who will testify to ti/ns trait in his character. Sympathy, for his wife and family will be widespread, for in his death they lose a kind husT^and anjfi indulgent father. He leaves a widow and faimilv of two daughters (one of whom is married) and ei^ht sons' to mourn their loss,. To these the sympathy of the whole district goes out in their sad and s|udden bereavement.—R.l.P.
