MRS. MARY HOARE, TEMTJKA. With very sincere sympathy towards the bereaved relatives (writes our Christchurch correspondent) I record the death of Mrs. Mary Hoare, relict of. Mr. Dennis Hoare, of Kerrytown. The deceased lady resided for the past eight years in Temuka. She was born in County Kerry, Ireland, and arrived in New Zealand fifty years ago. The late Mrs. Hoare was sixty-eight years of age at the time' of her death, which occurred after an illness of about two years. Of a kindly and charitable disposition and well beloved by all who knew her, she bore her long illness with true Christian resignation, and departed this life fortified by all the rites and consolations of the Church of which she was a most fervent and faithful member. The late Mrs. Hoare leaves a family of eight, two of whom .are religious in the Order of the Sisters of St. Joseph. One son is in the sacred ministry— Rev. Father Richard Hoare, S.M., the energetic and popular assistant priest of St. Mary's, Christchurch North. A Requiem Mass for the repose of the soul of deceased was celebrated in St. Joseph's Church, Temuka, on last Thursday morning by the Rev. Father Kerley, S.M., who also officiated at the interment, the funeral' being very largely attended by friends and relatives. Among the clergy present at the obsequies were the Very Rev. Dean Tubman, S.M., Very Rev. Father O'Connell, S.M., Rev. Fathers Henry, S.M., O'Connor, S.M., Murphy, S.M., and Hoare, S.M. The pall-bearers were Messrs. Brosnahan (2), S. Scannell, • and J.
