It is with great regret that we hear of the sudden death of Mr Arthur Buchanan, a gentleman well known in Wellington. Mr Buchanan contracted the germs of typhoid fever while in this Island, and upon his arrival at Dunedin the disease had so gained upon him that he was almost prostrated. He was removed to the Criterion Hotel, where every comfort and the best medical attendance were secured to him; but the fatal disease had taken too strong a hold of his constitution, and he succumbed rapidly, dying on the 28th February. Mr Buchanan was only twenty-eight years of age, and a son of the Hon Andrew Buchanan, M.D., who is as well known as any one in the Colony. Not the least melancholy fact connected with this event is that Br Buchanan, with his wife and daughter, has only lately gone to England, and had left the deceased gentleman in perfect health at his departure. -Wellington Independent, 10/3/1874.
