Together with his wife and • -family, he was the pioneer of the district named after him. Some few months back, it will be remembered, Mr. and Mrs. Boddy celebrated their golden wedding and at the festive board the family were largely represented in three generations. The deceased was a man highly esteemed, of a genial nature, straightforward and upright in all 'dealings and his many friends will reifret to hear of his passing. He leaves a widow, four sons, and five daughters to mourn their loss. Three sons, Messrs Arthur.. Rubin and Ernest, are residents of Boddytown, whilst Charles is a resident of Wellington. Mesclames Whiteside, T. Hazeldine (Greymouth), Lewis (Timaru), RouSe (Te Kinga) and F. Brown (Westport) are daughters of the deceased. The late Mr. Boddy was for forty years a member of Lodge A.O.F.
