DEATH OF MRS MERRETT.
VICTIM KNOWN IN NEW ZEALAND. SON A FORMER WAITAKIAN. (Per United Press Association.) HASTINGS, December 4. The statement in the cable messages that Mrs Merrett and her son came from a New Zealand station is erroneous. Some six years ago Mrs Merrett came to New Zealand from Russia, where her husband was employed. She separated him, and took up residence at Havelock North. Later she went to live at Oamaru, sending her son to the Waitaki Boys’ High School. They later went to England, and. as stated in the cablegram, the son entered Edinburgh University to complete his education for the diplomatic service. While resident in Hawke’s Bay Mrs Merrett made many friends, with whom she enjoyed great popularity. It is understood that she was the inventor and patentee of the fireless cooker.
