Obituary.
CHARLES TIZARD — Aged 24 years.
The death on Wednesday last of Charles Frederick William Tizard, at the early age of 24 years, cast quite a gloom over our small community. Deceased, who was the second son of the late W. W. Tizard, was a native of Cromwell, and grew up to be one of our most respected and esteemed young men, and took a keen interest in many local clubs. He was attached to the dredging industry and after following the occupation for a time in his native town received an appointment in South America. From there he proceeded to London and was engaged to go to West Africa, and on the completion of his term returned to Cromwell last October. Unfortunately his health was to a great extent undermined in Africa. A fortnight ago, while in the employ of the 909 company he contracted a serious illness and was removed to the Cromwell hospital, where his condition caused great anxiety, and he passed away on Wednesday evening — cut down in the prime of life. At the funeral in the New Cemetery on Friday a large number paid their last tribute of respect, included in those being many companions of schoolboy days. Amongst the floral tributes were two wreaths from the Cromwell Football Club and band, in both of which deceased was an enthusiastic member. The service at the grave was conducted by the Rev. Fitchett. To his widowed mother, brothers, sisters, and many relations in this district we extend our sympathy in their bereavement. -Cromwell Argus, 5/6/1911.
The death took place in Cromwell on Wednesday last of Charles Tizard, aged 21 years, well-known in football circles, and a native of Cromwell. Towards the end of last year deceased returned from foreign dredging fields, and a fortnight before his death commenced work on the 909 dredge in the Alexandra gorge. Here he contracted malarial fever, a disease he had apparently brought with him from South America, and on the Saturday prior to his death was removed to his home in Cromwell. His death caused quite a gloom over his native town. -Alexandra Herald and Central Otago Gazette, 7/6/1911.
A young man named Charles Tizard, 24 years of age, a son of well-known residents in the Cromwell district, died in the Cromwell Hospital on Thursday from typhoid fever after a few days' illness. He was (says our correspondent) a great favourite, and a fine, steady young fellow. He only returned a few months ago from foreign dredging fields, where he had been for some years. Owing to having contracted fever and ague there, it is supposed that these undermined his constitution considerably. -Otago Witness, 7/6/1911.
