MRS. SARAH KEENAN, KUMARA.

.It is with deep regret that we record the death of Mrs. Sarah Keenan, relict of Francis Keenan; which occurred at her residence, Main Street Kumara, on the 27th of January, after a long illness. The late Mrs. Keenan was well known for her kindly disposition, and she won the esteem and regard of all who came in contact with her. She was a native of Waterford, Ireland, and was 72 years of age. She had been a resident, of. New Zealand for about 50 years, and with her husband lived at Greenstone in the early days, afterwards coming to Kumara when the rush broke out. She leaves a family of five sons (Thomas, John, Patrick, Richard, Francis) and one daughter. Mr. Patrick Keenan and Miss Keenan are resident in Kumara, but the other four sons are in Western Australia. The late Mrs. Keenan was predeceased by her husband six years. The funeral took place on January 29, when a large number of old friends was present to pay their tribute of respect to the memory of the deceased lady. Messrs. J. Ryan, E. Foley, N. Smith, and S. Keenan (of Rimu) were the pall-bearers, and the Rev. Father Creed conducted the funeral service.R.l. P. m l mm
