OBITUARY.

The many friends of Mrs. Joseph Haydon, of Papanui, will regret to hear of her unexpected death one day last week, the result of an accident some three weeks previously. Mrs. Haydon, while hanging some curtains, or similar domestic duty, fell off a chair, and, though nothing so serious was thought about it at first, it ended in a most lamentable way. The funeral took place on Saturday, when a number of beautiful floral tributes were received, and the greatest sympathy’ is felt for the bereaved family. MRS IZARD. On Wednesday last one of Wellington’s most respected and best known residents passed away in the person of Mrs C. B. Izard, wife of Mr Chas. B. Izard, of Hobson-street, who formerly practised as a solicitor, as a partner in the firm of Bell, Gully' and Izard, but who has for many years retired from business. Mrs Izard’s widespread hospitality and kindness of heart have always been proverbial in Wellington, and have endeared her memory' to all classes of the community there, and more especially to the poor and needy. Mrs Izard leaves her husband and seven children to mourn her loss, amongst whom are Mr Charles Izard, who is practising as a solicitor in Wellington, and is also a member of the City Council: Mr Stratton Izard, solicitor, of Greytown; and Mrs Charles I'harazyn. of Longw'ood, Featherston; and Miss Izard, who resides with her father in Wellington: two sons being at present in England. The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon, a service being held in St. Paul’s Pro-Cathedral previous to the interment in the Bolton-st. cemetery, which was very largely attended by friends from all classes of the community, and Mr Izard and his family will have the sympathy of a very numerous circle of friends throughout the colony in their sad bereavement.
