OBITUARY

MR. A. J. TRAYNOR, WYNDHAM. Sincere regret was felt- in Wyndham at the death of Mr. Andrew J. Traynor, eldest son of • Mr. Patrick Traynor, who passed away on September 29 at the early age of 34 years,. The deceased, who had been ailing for some time, went to the Hanmer Sanatorium a few months ago for the benefit of his health. On his return (says the local paper), a temporary improvement was noticeable, but too soon a reaction set in, and his rapid physical weakening only too plainly showed that his indisposHion was a very serious one.. Acting upon * medical advice, he proceeded a few weeks ago to the well-known hospital for open-air treatment at Flagstaff, Dunedin. Unhappily the wasting disease had gone too far, and he succumbed to his malady on September 29. The death of Mr. Andrew Traynor removes from our midst the figure of one of the most energetic, _ persevering, and popular young men in this community. Mr. Traynor, although born in Glasgow, \was to all intents and purposes Wyndham-bred, as he was but a -child when he arrived here with his parents in the seventies ; and in Wyndham he resided all the rest of his life. On the retirement of his father, about SJ -years ago, he (in company with his brother Edward) assumed the control of the business, under the style and firm of Traynor Bros. Under the new regime the business has prospered and expanded exceedingly, thanks in a great degree to the energy and wide outlook of the deceased partner. He was a .good husband and a good- son. He is survived by a widow and family of three young children, to whom much sympathy will be extended in their heavy bereavement. — R.I. P.
