OBITUARY

MR. DAVID O’DONOGHUE, NAPIER. (From our own correspondent.) Very general regret was felt when it became known that Mr. David O’Donoghue, an ‘old and respected resident of Napier, had met his death on May 21 as the result of a trap accident. He was attended by Rev, Father O’Connor, who administered the last rites of the Church. Mr. O’Donoghue, who was born at Ballylanders, County Limerick, 56 years ago, came to New Zealand in 1879, and took up his residence in Napier, where he had lived ever since. At the last meeting of the Napier Borough Council, the Mayor (Mr. J. V. Brown, M.P.) referred to the death of Mr. O’Donoghue, whom he had known as a worthy and esteemed citizen for a great many years. The deceased leaves a widow, four sons, and four daughters. The funeral, which took place on May 23, was a very large and representative one. The pall-bearers were members of the Hibernian Society, of which the deceased was an old member. The remains were taken to St. Patrick’s Church, and from there the funeral left for the Napier Cemetery, where the last sad rites were conducted by Rev. Father O’Connor. —R.l.P. SISTER M. ALOYSIUS, OTAHUHU. (From our Auckland correspondent.) The death of a highly esteemed nun, Sister M. Aloysius, took place at the Convent of Mercy, Otahuhu, on May 14. The deceased, who was an invalid for some time, succumbed to heart failure. She was the daughter of Mr. William Newyerling, and arrived in the Colony with her parents in 1864. In the same year she entered St. Mary’s Convent, Ponsonby, where she was professed in 1868. Sister M. Aloysius taught? for many years in the schools of the diocese, being especially gifted for kindergarten work, - her gentleness and winning ways drawing to her the hearts of all the little ones. The Sisters, who lived with her for so many years, and who were constantly edified by her bright example, feel her loss most keenly. A Requiem Mass was celebrated on Friday morning, May 16, after which the interment took place.R.l.P.
