Mr Arthur Leeden, whose death, at the age of 29 years, was reported from Auckland last week, was a son of the late Mr David Leeden, of the Government railways, Mosgiel, and spent the earlier years of his life in that town. Some 12 years ago he was appointed to the accountants' branch of the General Post Office, Wellington, and up to the time of his illness was attached to that branch of the service, where, being possessed of many sterling qualities, he won for himself the respect and admiration, of his fellow-officers. He was an ardent worker in the Anglican Church, and was a student for the ministry until forced to relinquish his studies by his late illness. He took a keen interest in Oddfellowship, having passed through all the chairs of office, and was ever zealous to promote the interests of the order. During his short life he made many friends, being always ready and willing to help those who required assistance, and the news of his untimely death will be received with profound regret by all those who knew him. -Otago Daily Times, 16/9/1913.
