PERSONAL.
The death of James Patrick Barry, eldest son of Mr and Mrs J. Barry, of the Marlborough Hotel, Blenheim, occurred on November 4th after a comparatively short illness. The deceased had been in delicate health for some few years, but it was expected that he would ultimately recover. He was of a lovable disposition, kind and thoughtful for others, and during his long term of suffering he bore his affliction with unfailing sweetness arid patience. A Requiem Mass were celebrated in St. Mary's Church at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 6th, for the repose of the soul of the deceased, during which the school children sang appropriate hymns. At the conclusion of the Mass the "Dead March" was played. Immediately after mass the funeral left the church for the Omaka, cemetery, where the burial service was conducted by the Rev. Fathers Herring and O'Reilly. The deceased, who was a member of the Sodality of the Children of Mary, was followed to his last resting place by the school children and his sorrowing sodalists, dressed in regalia, six of whom acted as pall-bearers. Much sympathy is felt for the parents in their bereavement. -Marlborough Express, 16/11/1918.
