OBITUARY.
The flags on the shipping and the principal places of business in Dunedin were lowered to half-mast today as a mark of respect to the memory of the late Mr Harold Kendal Hooper. The deceased gentleman, who was only thirty years of age, had been in the employ of the National Mortgage and Agency Company since the foundation of the company in Dunedin, in 1878, and having, through unfailing attention to duty and a courteous manner to patrons, gained for himself the goodwill and full confidence of his employers, he was at the time of his death holding the responsible post of shipping clerk. He was at one time, and particularly during his residence in Port Chalmers, a prominent member of the Otago Bowing Club, and later on he earned for himself no small amount of repute as a cyclist. About four weeks ago he was compelled to take a holiday, and a short sojourn in the Lakes district having little beneficial effect on him, he returned to Dunedin, and placed himself in the doctor's hands. It was found that he was suffering from an inflammatory affection of the heart, to which he succumbed last evening about five o'clock, the efforts of several doctors and the most zealous attention of his parents having proved of no avail. -Evening Star, 28/5/1892.
