Up to Sunday last Mrs. Sawyer was in her usual health. As she was 'retiring to rest on Sunday evening, she had a slight fit of coughing, which caused the rupture of a bloodvessel, and died in a few moments. Dr. Murray, of Pukckohe, was sent for, and on arrival he said it was only a, few moments she could possibly have lived. The funeral took place on August 18, at St. Peter's burial ground, the Rev. F.
