DEATH.
Finnegan. — On the 24th inst., at Balclutha, Kate Elizabeth, wife of Sergeant Finnegan. The remains will leave her late residence at 9 a.m. to-day, for the Dunedin cemetery. -Clutha Leader, 25/3/1875.
We are again painfully called upon to record another death in our midst. The wile of Sergeant Finnegan, so long known and respected among us, has been suddenly and unexpectedly removed from us. The deceased lady had been ailing for one or two days previous, but no serious thoughts were entertained until Tuesday evening last, when her friends were sufficiently alarmed to telegraph to Tokomairiro for medical assistance (in the absence of Dr Smith from Clutha), and Dr Gillies arrived at a late hour, and remained until the sufferer expired, at an early hour yesterday morning. Deceased leaves a husband and five young children, as well as numerous friends, to mourn her loss, and was but 27 years of age. Not only will her untimely death be regretted in this district, but in other districts where she was equally known and respected. -Clutha Leader, 25/3/1875.
