Her husband predeceased her by some 30 years. In the early days the late Mrs. Reilly was a great friend of the Maoris-, who liked and trusted her. She was noted as a great business woman and was most successful in such matters, and was always to the fore in cases of need or .public benefit. She leaves a family of five sons and three daughters, who are: Messrs. James, Charles, Fredrick, Alphonso, arid Lawrence, all resident in Takaka, Mesdames A. Emms (Takaka), G. Neal (Wellington), and R. Duncan (Tasmania), who will have the sympathy of the whole community in their bereavement. She is also survived' by. a brother. (Mr. A. T, Kearns, Auckland), and a sister :f (Mrs. T. Langdon, Temuka). The funeral, which left the Church of the Sacred Heart for the West Takaka Cemetery was largely attended. Rev.
