Well Known Northerner Dies Suddenly in Auckland

The death occurred very suddenly at Auckland yesterday of Mr. Charles Northwood, brother of Mr. Arthur Northwood of Kaitaia and a former well-known resident of the Far North. The late Mr. Northwood was just under 58 years of age and came to Houhora at the age of 12. After working with relatives for some years in the storekeeping and gumbuying business he set up business' as a photographer in company with his brother Richard. After a few years however, the partnership was dissolved, Mr. Northwood then running a cream launch on the Hokianga river for a time. Later he bought out his brother’s studio at Kohukohu and again set up in business. After some time he again sold out and moved to Auckland, engaging in photographic work there. Leaving Auckland for a time, he went to Gisborne, later returning to business in Auckland where the Bellwood Portrait Studios soon became well-known. Although he had not been particularly well for several years, Mr. Northwood’s sudden death came as a great shock to relatives. Mrs. Northwood died about two years ago and they are survived by one daughter, Miss E. Northwood. Money gets its name from the Roman goddess Juno Moneta. •* * ☆ "Eight thousand rabbits were shot in three Norfolk drives.
