Burrows, at the age of 41 years. Deceased had been a resident in the district for most of his life, and engaged, in farming-operations until he met' with a severe injury about three years ago, which necessitated his entering the Waikato Hospital. Complications developed, and at one time it was thought probable a leg would have to be amputated.

Mrs Aubin, who was born on the island of Jersey ninety-two years ago, was educated in France and came out to New Zealand to marry Mr Aubin, who had previously come from, the Channel IsU.nds. The wedding was the first to be celebrated in the Anglican Church at Ngaruaw'ahia. Mrs and Mrs Aubin settled at Pirongia (Alexandra it then was), .where Mr Aubin established himself as a chamist and storekeeper. Both Mr and Mrs Aulbin quickly won the esteem of all with whom they came in contact, and Mrs Aubin's ability as a musician attracted kindred spirits, social evenings in the Aubin home beng noted far and wide as exceptionally attractive. Mrs . Aubin for very many years interested herself in Church, musical aiid social matters, and was held in the very highest regard.

Pamell, Auckland, but kept in touch with her family and friends in this district, Another son is Mr Eugene Aubin, of Kawhia, and three' "surviving daughters ars Mrs Ramsay, Hillerest,.
