News reached here on Saturday last from Greymouth that Dr Stacpoole (our late hospital surgeon) had died the previous day from inflammation.

Obituary 

Mrs M. Stacpoole, who died in Dunedin last week, had spent the greater part of her life in Cromwell and the Bendigo district. Born in Tapanui, she came to Cromwell with her parents, the late Mr and Mrs C. G. Mountney, when a girl. In 1885 she married Dr Stacpoole, then practising in Cromwell, but soon after they removed to Hokitika, where her husband died in 1891. Later, Mrs Stacpoole, with the two members of the family, returned to Cromwell, and for some years had been associated with her son on a farm property at Bendigo. The funeral took place at the Tarras Cemetery on Friday, the Rev Mr Hurd conducting the burial service.   -Otago Daily Times, 25/6/1935.

The death occurred in Dunedin early last week of a Highly esteemed and respected resident of the community, Mrs M. Stacpoole, one whose association with the town and district extends over the greater part of 50 years. The deceased was 69 years of age. Born at Tapanui, she came to Cromwell with her parents, the late Mr and Mrs C. G. Mountney, when quite young, and was the second daughter of the family. In 1889 the deceased lady married Dr Stacpoole, Cromwell's well known doctor of these times, and shortly after they removed to Hokitika. Three years later Dr Stacpoole died and his wife with the two children returned again to Cromwell. In recent years the late Mrs Stacpoole was associated with her son on an extensive farm property at Bendigo, and there, as in Cromwell, by reason of a kindly disposition and high ideals, was held in high esteem by many friends. Surviving members of the family are a son and a daughter, and deceased's sisters still living are Mrs Hawson, Mrs Kingswell, and Mrs Owen, and to these the sympathy of many friends is extended. The funeral took place in the Tarras cemetery on Friday, in the presence of a large number of friends, Rev. Hurd conducting the burial service.  -Alexandra Herald and Central Otago Gazette, 26/6/1935.
