Obituary.
The death occurred here on Sunday morning of an old and respected resident of the district in the person of Mr. Joseph Field, at the ripe old age of 78 years. The deceased was under medical treatment for some time, the cause of death being senile decay. There are left to mourn their loss a wife and grown-up family of six sons and four daughters, and much sympathy is felt locally for them in their sad bereavement. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, the cortege being a fairly large one. The Shire Council was represented by Messrs. W. Smith and Meldrum. The funeral arrangements were in the hands of Mr. C. T. Shakespeare, of Wellington, and the remains were interred in the Church of England portion of the Geurie Cemetery. Rev. G. S. Benyon conducted the service at the graveside.5
