OBITUARY.
BETTY WIGHTMAN.
It is with much regret that we record the death of little Betty Wightman, which took place at her parents’ residence at an early hour on Tuesday morning. Little Betty was the youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs S. B. Wightman, High Street, Temuka, and was a bright, engaging little girl of three and a-half years of age, and had a wide circle of child and adult friends. She was taken ill three months ago, as a result of a fall, and after six weeks relapsed into unconsciousness, and although all that medical skill could suggest was done, and despite the loving attention of her father and mother and many friends, it was unavailing, and the little one passed peacefully away on Tuesday morning. Her untimely death will be regretted by all who knew her. Much sympathy is expressed for her bereaved parents.
The funeral was a private one, and look place on Thursday morning, being attended by relatives and a few near friends. The service was conducted by the Rev. Mr Scorgie, the bearers being Messrs C. Double, O. McCallum, W. Ritchie, and I. Taylor. Beautiful floral tokens of sympathy were sent by Mr A. N. Hancock, Dr and Mrs Scannell, Mrs Coombes and family, Mrs J. McCaskill and family, Mr and Mrs McGrath, Mr and Mrs Bruce Gillies, Mr and Mrs Methven, Mr and Mrs Hislop, Mr and Mrs Samuels (Christchurch), Mrs Wareing and family, Florrie and Muriel Wareing, Rita Wareing, Mr and Mrs A. G. Watson. Mr J. N. Taylor, Mrs Heap and Mrs McIsaac, Mrs W. D. Taylor (of Waimate), Miss L. Geddes, Miss Peggy Gunnion, Salvation Army Boys’ Home, Mrs Sanders and family, Miss K. Harrison, Mr and Mrs Harrison, Mr and Mrs L. A. Nicholas, Mr and Mrs C. Bales, Mr and Mrs G. Brown (Riverslea). -Temuka Leader, 23/7/1921.
