FUNERAL NOTICE.
The Friends of Mr WILLIAM HOPE are respectfully invited to attend the Funeral of MARTHA EVELYN, which will leave his Residence for the Balclutha Cemetery on TUESDAY, the 26th, at 2 p.m.
MUIR & BURLEY, Undertakers, Balclutha. -Otago Daily Times, 24/11/1902.
The Free Press says — “A very sad death occurred at Balclutha early on Sunday morning, when Miss Martha Evelyn Hope, youngest daughter of Mr Wm. Hope, North Balclutha, passed away at the early age of 25 years. The news came as a surprise to many, as the deceased young lady had always presented the appearance of one particularly healthy and robust. She had, however, three weeks previously been compelled to resign her situation as a milliner in Temuka and return home, owing to an illness which developed heart weakness and Bright’s disease, with the fatal result above stated. The deceased was of a bright and sociable disposition, and her untimely demise will be lamented by a wide circle of friends as well as by her sorrowing father and brother and sisters. She was until recently a member of the local Wesleyan Church congregation and choir. Miss Hope was for a short time milliner in Mr J. W. Miles’ establishment, and by her pleasing manners soon became a favourite with those who made her acquaintance. Her untimely death will be much regretted by all who knew her. -Temuka Leader, 29/11/1902.
