It is our painful duty to record the death of Mr Christopher Keliher, of Waikerikeri Valley, which occured on Friday last. The deceased was well-known in the district, having been born and spent nearly the whole of his life in Clyde. He had been ailing for some considerable time, but in spite of medical skill and careful nursing gradually sank. The funeral took place on Sunday, the Rev. Father Hunt officiating. -Dunstan Times, 25/2/1902.
Obituary. — On the 21st of last month a young man, Christopher Keliher, a native of the district, and a lad of exceptional promise, succumbed to a lingering illness, from which there was never a hope of his ultimate recovery. The young man was the youngest son of the late Michael Keliher, farmer, Waikerikeri Valley, where the brothers and sisters of the recently-deceased still reside, and to those "Your Own" tenders his sympathy in their bereavement. -Otago Witness, 12/3/1902.
