DEATH OF MAORI WAR VETERAN
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) Gisborne, May 12.
Service with von Tempsky against the rebellious Maoris was the outstanding feature of the early life of Ralph Todd Young, octogenarian, who died last evening. Young was born at Berwick-on-Tweed S 3 years ago, and came to New Zealand as a boy. He had an adventurous life in the volunteers under von Tempsky, which he joined at 16 years of a-e. He took part in the fighting in the Waikato. When the rebellion had been quenched Young worked on the land awhile, and then took up a section in the Auckland district, where he and Mrs. Young reared a family of four sons and two daughters.
