OBITUARY

MR. MICHAEL HIGGINS, SEDDON.

It is with much regret (writes our Blenheim correspondent) that I have to record the sudden death of Mr. Michael Higgins, son of Mr. John Higgins, a well known and highly respected Catholic resident of Seddon. The deceased, who was only 28 years of age, was proceeding to catch the early train for Seddon on November 23 when, without a moment's warning, he staggered forward and expired in a companion's arms. The medical evidence at the inquest showed that death was due to heart failure. Much sympathy is felt for Mr. and Mrs. Higgins and the other members of the family in their sad and sudden bereavement. The deceased was an estimable young man, and highly estemed by all who knew him. The funeral took place from St. Mary's Church on November 25, when the large attendance of mourners gave evidence of the respect in which the deceased was held. When the remains were being taken from the church the ' Dead March ' was played by Miss McCabe. The Rev. Father Fay officiated at the church and graveside. — R.I. P.
