LATE AUCKLAND NEWS.

Very sincere regret is felt at the unexpected death of Miss Laura Dixon, third daughter of Mr J. J. Dixon, late Deputy-Registrar of Deeds, who, with his family, has been living in Auckland for the last few years. Miss Laura Dixon had been seriously ill with rheumatic fever, but her mother’s unremitting good nursing pulled her through, and the medical attendant pronounced her convalescent. She, however, was taken suddenly ill the early part of the week, dying the same evening. The immense amount of sympathy for their loss, and the great esteem in which the bereaved family is held, was shown by the numerous and beautiful floral tokens which decorated the coffin. The funeral was attended by a large number of sorrowing friends. Miss Laura was such an unselfish girl, and such a devoted daughter, that her death creates a terrible blank in the home circle and amongst her young friends.
