Throughout his life Mr Badeley had enjoyed the best of health, and his fatal illness was of a very sudden nature, the deceased having- been a patient in the hospital for only a day.

The deceased came to Gisborne, 16 years ago, and had since lived in retirement there. He leaves a widow and two daughters, Mrs J. F. Graham, of Puha, and Mrs C. Cooksley, of Otaki, to whom deep sympathy will be expended.—Poverty Bay Herald.
