It is my pad duty to record the death of a young girl, Catherine Quinn. who succumbed to a severe attack of la grippe after a short illneesj at the Wanganui Convent, on Friday, September 13. The deceased was the youngest daughter of Mrs. Quinn, Palmerston North (late of the West Coast), and for some time past had been a boarder at the local convent. Before her death the young sufferer had the happiness of being enrolled in the Sooiety of the Children of Mary. She was a general favorite, and her death at the early age of 14 years must come as a great shook, not only to her relatives, but also to her teachers and schoolmates. The funeral took place at Palinerston North on Monday, September 16. To the bereaved mother and family the sincerest sympathy is extended. — M.I.P.
