MR F. SWEENEY The death occurred recently in Waipiro Bay of Mr F. Sweeney, aged 85, after a long illness. In his early days on the East Coast he was in charge of the pressing gang of Mr A. B. Williams' shearing sheds at Takapau and Inhungia. Mr Sweeney worked hard on his farm, which is operated by his adopted son, Mr F. Tibble. He was also a noted fisherman and was president of the Waipiro Bay Fishing Club. The tangi to Mr Sweeney, held on the Iritekura marae, was attended by a large number of people. Mr Sweeney had particular associations with the Iritekura meetinghouse; when it was renovated, he supplied much of the driving force which made it one of the most up-to-date on the coast. His funeral took place at Waipiro Bay. He is survived by a wife and a grown-up adopted family.
