Greymouth

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

It is- with extreme regret that I . have to record the death of Miss Mary Roche, which sad event took place at her late residence, Tainui street, last Sunday morning. The deceased was well known throughout the West Coast, having arrived here from Melbourne about thirty years ago. Miss Roche was a fervent Catholic, and was always- a foremost worker at bazaars or any entertainment for the benefit- - of the Church. She was a native of Ireland, and was, 58 yyears of age at the time of her death. A Requiem Mass for the repose of her soul was said on Tuesday morning, . The funeral left St. Patrick's Church on Tuesday afternoon for the Greymouth Cemetery, and was largely attended^ friends coming from all parts of the Coast to pay their last % tribute of respect. The Very Rev. Dean Carew, who also attended deceased in her last illness, officiated at the church . and graveside. Her sorrowing sister has the sympathy of the community in her sad bereavement. — R.I. P.
