Obituary.
It is with deep feelings of regret that we are obliged to chronicle the death of Miss Maggie Keliher, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs M. Keliher, of Waikerikeri Valley, which occurred at the Dunstan Hospital, Clyde, on Monday evening last, after a short but painful illness. The deceased young girl, who was a native of Waikerikeri Valley, and 16 years of age, was very highly esteemed for her estimable qualities of lovable disposition by a large circle of friends in the Clyde, Earnscleugh, and Waikerikeri Valley districts, and their sympathy is extended to the relatives in their untimely sad bereavement. The news of her sad end came as a great blow, not only to her relatives, but to the whole community where she resided. She had only been in ill-health for about a week previous to her death, having an attack of appendicitis, which necessitated an operation being performed; but everything that medical aid could do proved futile. She was always ready and willing to lend a helping hand in case of need, and won for herself the admiration of everyone whom she became associated with in the daily routine of life. The funeral takes place this afternoon at 2.30 p.m., leaving the St. Dunstan's Church, for the Clyde Cemetery. -Alexandra Herald and Goldfields Gazette, 2/9/1908.
