OBITUARY

MRS. MARY HELMS, SOUTH DUNEDIN. We regret to record the death of Mrs. . Mary Helms, wife of Mr. C. Helms, Melbourne street, South Dunedin, who passed away after a long and painful illness at her residence on December 29. The deceased, who was a most earnest and zealous Catholic, was constantly attended during her illness by Rev. Father Delany, whilst the Sisters of Mercy were most unremitting in their attention. The late-Mrs. Helms, who was in her 65th year, was a native of Melbourne, and came to New Zealand about ten years ago, during which time she had resided in South Dunedin. The remains were removed to St. Patrick’s Basilica', South Dunedin, on the evening of December 30, and the funeral left the church next morning for the Southern Cemetery, where the interment took place. Rev. Father Delany officiated at the graveside. .She leaves a husband and one daughter to mourn their loss— K • X • P.
