DEATHS ON SAME DAY
ELDERLY MILTON COUPLE The coincidence of a man and his wife dying in the same hospital on the same day occurred at Milton on Thursday. They were Mr and Mrs Henry Hand, who were well-known identities of the district. Mr Hand, who was 88 years of age, had been in hospital for some time, and his wife, who was aged 72, was admitted to the institution as the result of a collapse early this week. Mrs Hand died at 5 o’clock, and her husband passed away shortly before midnight. A similar coincidence occurred in Auckland last week. In this case the death of a man aged 53 was followed by the collapse of his wife, aged 49, who was in poor health. She died a few hours later.
