OBITUARY

ME. BERNARD O'REILLY, WAVERLEY.

(From our travelling correspondent.)

Quite a gloom was cast over Waverley and the district on Saturday, April 27, when it became known that Mr. Burnard O'Reilly had succumbed to injuries received by being thrown from his horse when returning from a sale on the previous night. The deceased was the second son of the late Mr. Gerald O'Reilly, one of the pioneers of the Momahaki district, and spent the greater part of his life in and around Momahaki. After leaving the paternal roof he and his brother, Gerald, took up a block of country at Momahaki, which they have successfully farmed for some years. Mr. O'Reilly's untimely death will be a sad blow to his aged mother, and to his loving sisters and brothers. The deceased will be greatly missed by a large circle of friends, as he was of the most genial disposition, generous, goodnatured and one of the best of men. Sincere sympathy is felt for his sorrowing mother, brothers, and sisters. The funeral was a very representative one, friends from all over the district attending to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased.—R.l.P.
