MISS ELIZABETH FINEGAN, ROXBURGH.

General and sincere regret was felt in the Teviot district when it was known that Miss Finegan, of Roxburgh, had passed away at her residence on Friday, December 22, at the age of 65 years. The deceased had been a great sufferer for some months, but she bore her trials with great fortitude until the end came. Miss Finegan was born at Chatham in 1835, and was for a number of years associated with Miss Mullin in business in Glasgow. About 10 years ago Miss Finegan and Miss Mullin came out to New Zealand and settled down in Roxburgh. The deceased lady was very popular in the district, her kind and unassuming manner making her a general favourite with all classes. She was of a most charitable disposition, having during her residence in Roxburgh done many acts of kindness unknown to the world. Miss Finegan was a prominent member of the Catholic Church in the township, and her demise is keenly felt by the congregation. The funeral took place on Christmas Day, the burial service being,conducted by the Rev. Father Delaney.— R.I.P.
