Mrs Boyes had been in very indifferent health for some considerable time, and a few months ago was operated upon for cancer. This was apparently successful, but the disease subsequently reasserted itself, and another operation was performed yesterday, from which the patient did not rally. Mrs Boyes was widely known and as widely esteemed, and she will be greatly missed in various spheres and especially in connection with St. Andrew's Church, for up to quite recently she was an indefatigable worker in all congregational schemes. The bereaved husband and little son will be the recipients of widespread sympathy in their great loss. The funeral will take place at the Hamilton West Cemetery to-morrow, leaving the Hospital at 2.30 p.m.
