OBITUARY

DR. GEORGE DEAMER, REMUERA, AUCKLAND. The death occurred at his residence, Grand View Road, Remuera, on Sunday last, after a lengthy illness, of Dr. George Edwin Deamer, aged 61 years. The deceased was the eldest son of the late Dr. Wm. Deamer, of Christchurch, and received his medical training at Edinburgh and London. For thirteen years he carried on a successful practice in Christchurch, afterwards residing in Featherston and Island Bay, Wellington. Failing health compelled him to retire about six years ago, and he went over to Sydney, whence he came to Auckland early last year. The late Dr. Deamer was a man of high intellectual attainments, and possessed of a very kindly and generous disposition. He leaves a widow, who is a daughter of the late Colonel Reader, of Wellington, and two daughters Albert Goldie, now in America, who has published novels as “ Dulcie Deamer,” and Dorothea—now Sister Mary Anne, of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Convent, Kensington, Sydney. A Requiem Mass for the repose of the soul of the late Dr. Deamer was celebrated on Tuesday morning last, the interment taking place afterwards at Waikaraka Cemetery, Father Doyle, of Remuera, officiating.— R .I.l*.
