Obituary

MR. MICHAEL O’MEARA, TOTARA FLAT. With very sincere regret (writes a correspondent) the people of the Grey Valley, and particularly those of the Totara Flat district, learnt of the death of Mr. Michael O’Meara, who passed away on August 22. The deceased was a native of Nenagh, Co. Tipperary, Ireland. The late Mr. O’Meara, who bore his illness with the resignation characteristic of the Irish Catholic, was of a genial and affectionate disposition, qualities which, combined with his deep love of his native land, endeared him to all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. After Requiem Mass, celebrated on Wednesday, the 24th ult., the funeral cortege (which was a very large one) proceeded to the Greymouth cemetery, where the interment took place. Rev. Father Fogarty officiated at the graveside, assisted by Rev. Fathers Long and O’Regan. The deceased is survived by his widow, four daughters Sister M. Augustine, Sister M. Paul, Misses Helena, and Gertyand three sons William, John, and Cornelius— whom much sympathy is extended in their bereavement.R.l.P.
