OBITUARY

MISS ANNIE MORTON.

The many friends in New" Zealand will regret to learn that the death occurred yesterday of Miss Annie Beatrice Morton, of 46 Hobson Street,, at the age of 85 years. Miss Morr ton, who was one of five sisters, came over to New Zealand from Australia when she was 17 and travelled to the South Island with one of her sisters to stay with Mr. Henry Driver, Dunedin, and Mr. John McLean, their brothers-in-law, who were very wellknown pioneer settlers in the south.

In 1909 the three Misses Morton came to Wellington and established the boarding-house "Rawhiti," which they maintained for many years/and which was the home of many well-known members of the legal fraternity. During their long residence in the capital they were very keen church workers and centred their interest in the Cathedral Church of St. Paul, where this morning the Rev. A. F. Collard-Scruby conducted the funeral service. Miss Annie Morton was predeceased by her sister, Miss Hester -Morton, and is survived by her third sister, Miss Ella Morton, of Hobson Street, and by a brother, Mr. Willie Morton, who lives on his daughter's homestead at Wanaka. .
