MRS. CATHERINE SISSON, TURAKINA. Intense regret was felt when it became known that Mrs. Sisson, of Turakina, had passed away. The deceased, with her mother (Mrs. Collins) and sisters, arrived in New Zealand about forty years ago from Ireland. Throughout the Wanganui district they were all highly esteemed and respected for their exemplary piety and generosity. At her death-bed the deceased had the edification of being surrounded by Rev. Mother Gertrude (sister) and Sister Liguori, Sacred Heart Convent, Wanganui), Mrs. Cochrane (daughter), her husband, and her brother (John).— R.I.P. MR. DANIEL O'MEARA. RANGIORA. An old and highly respected resident of Rangiora, in the person of Mr. Daniel O'Meara, died suddenly at his residence, George Street, on November 10. The deceased was one of the pioneers, having arrived in New Zealand by the sailing vessel Star of China in August, 1875. For a number of years he had a farm on the Oxford Road, Rangiora, but had lived a retired life for the past ten years. He is survived

by a widow and four daughters—Mrs. M. Burke (Manakau), Mrs. Steve Ryan (Riccar.ton), and the Misses Freda and Katip O'Meara. His only son (Michael) died if pneumonia in Featherston Camp during the war.—
