MRS C. W. HARVEY. \ A The news of the death of Mrs C. W. Harvey, which occurred in the Auckland Hospital on Wednesday will be received with great regret by her friends, of whom she had many in this district’, she having been a resident of Claudelands for a lengthy period. Of . a quiet unobstrusive nature she never- ’ theless won the high regard and esteem of all with whom she came in contact. Mrs Harvey had not been in robust health for some time. Great sympathy will be extended to her hus- ' band, who was in business in Hamilton for many years, and her two daughters, Mrs C. Frances and Miss Harvey, both of whom reside in Auckland. \ MR J. S.
