MRS. DAVID THOMSON, INVERCARGILL. The many friends of Mrs. David Thomson heard with sincere regret of her death, which occurred after a short illness at her residence, Leet street; Invercargill, on March 11. The deceased lady was a native of Co. Galway, and came to the colonies when very young. She was well known for her kindly and hospitable nature, being particularly attentive to the sick. She was beloved by young and old, as evidenced by the number of telegrams and letters of sympathy received by her family from all parts of the Dominion, and from Australia. She was a zealous and devoted Catholic, and died fortified by the rites of the Church. Rev. Father Kavanagh officiated at the graveside. Three daughters are left to mourn their loss Miss A. Thomson (of the Central School ,Invercargill), Miss I. Thomson .(late of the W.F.C.A., Masterton), and Miss M. Thomson.— R.I.P. :"t* ■ ■■■"■■■'
