OBITUARY. MRS JANE ELIZA BLACK. Anothor old. Wanganui resident, Mrs Jane Eliza Black, widow of Mr B. Black, died on November 3rd, at her home, 64 Nixon street, Wanganui East, at the age of 75 years. Mrs Black was the only daughter of the late Mr John Sarjeant, accountant to the firm of Messrs Reece, Ltd., ironmongers, Christchurch. She was married to Mr Black in St. Luke's Anglican Church, Christchurch, in 1879, when they came to Wanganui and lived variously at Upokongaro, Kaikokopu, and Wanganui East. Mrs Black was a gentle, kindly, unassuming lady, and an earnest Christian. She was the first president of All Ladies Guild, and her untiring devotion to her church was an inspiration to the little band of zealous workers who assisted her in fortifying, if not laying, the foundation of All Saints' Church in Wanganui East. Her funeral was very largely attended, the Rev. W. T. Woller conducting the burial service. Mrs Black is survived by five sons and three daughters —Messrs Richard Black (i£arori), Alfred and Gordon Black (Auckland), and William and Egbert Black (Wanganui), Mesdames G. Harris and R. Dodd, and Miss J. BUaek (Wanganui).

She also accompanied him into Central Otago, which was a very unknown part at the time. In 1869 Mi and Mrs C. P. Powles were married at the old homestead of Tutu Totara, near Marton, there being no church in the district at the time. They went to Wellington in the same year, and took up their residence at their home in Wesley road, where Mrs Powles had lived ever since. During her 61 yeans of residence in St. Paul's parish she was a devoted member of the church, working for many years as a valued member of the Dorcas Society and in other branches o* work.
