OBITUARY.

MRS LOUISA MARY ANDERSON. lil the memory of those who know of the early history and development of the Manawatu no recollection is more vivid than that which recalls the great pioneering work so successfully undertaken by those who laid the foundations and built up the industrial and social structure, whiph will ever remain a monument to their selfsacrificing efforts. With the passing of years the majority of the first generation of pioneer inhabitants have ceased from their labours, passing on one by one to join those who have laid down life’s burden. Mrs Anderson, relict of the late Mr C. L. Anderson, who died early this morning at the residence of her daughter, Mrs H. T. A’Court, Annandale Avenue, another well-known and well-beloved lady has been called to her long rest. It was in the early days of Sandon that the Anderson family. _ removed from Wellington and established an extensive storekeeping business in the district and thereby contributed a material factor in the welfare of that centre. Dating from the late ’seventies until the present time, the Anderson family has always been closely identified with the social and material progress of the township and surrounding district. .In the heyday of their lives the home of the late Mr and Mrs Anderson was an open house of entertainment for young arid old, particularly for those who were musically inclined or whp were partial to a hand of cards. In all things undertaken by Mr and Mrs Anderson there was the evidence of sincerity and earnestness of purpose, and it naturally followed that they gained a wide measure of respect and esteem. Speaking particularly of Mrs Anderson, no more appropriate eulogy is needed than to say that throughout her long span of over four score years she exemplified in her life and conduct all the characteristics which are associated with true womanhood. In particular she was ever an ardent worker for the welfare of the Methodist Church, and by the force of example in her own life she set a high standard for emulation by. others. There are left to mourn a family of nine surviving members, namely Mrs A. E. Pearce, Palmerston North; Mrs M. R. Pearce, Auckland; Mrs S H Wriglev, Wellington; Mrs W. E. Pearce” 'Sanson; Mrs H. T. A’Court, Palmerston North; John, Wellington; Alfred, Sanson; Leo, Bulls; and Roy, Ohakea. In addition there are twenty-six grandchildren and one great grandson, and a wide circle of relatives and friends throughout, the Dominion to all of whom sympathy is extended m their bereavement. The funeral will leave Annandam Avenue at 2 o’clock to-morrow for the Sandon cemetery. COUNT ALBERT APPONYI. "geneva, Feb. 7.
