OBITUARY

MR. STEPHEN McGREEVY, WAIPAWA. Waipawa, and indeed Hawke's Bay, has lost one of its most useful and best known citizens in the person of Mr. Stephen McGreevy, whose death occurred on April 1 after a short illness (writes an esteemed correspondent). The late Mr. McGreevy was a native of Roscommon, Ireland, and he arrived in Napier about 60 years ago. After being engaged in the carrying business for many years he took up a nice farm near Waipawa, which he successfully managed until a couple of years ago, he handed it over to his son, Mr. S. McGreevy, jun. Mr. McGreevy brought out his parents and many relations to Waipawa. In the early days especially, and during his whole life, he was always the generous friend of the priest and the Church. Surrounded by his seven sons, his daughter (Mrs. D. Moroney), and many relatives, his last moments were most edifying. Many fellow-Hibernians and a great concourse of the public attended the funeral, the last rites of which were performed by the Rev. Father T. Cahill.—R.l.P. *
