A touching incident happened last Friday in connection with the death of a little boy named Noble Clement Harris, who died at Seacliff from blood poisoning resulting, from a sting by a spider (says the "Otago Daily Times". All that skill could do for him was done by Dr Truby King, but he died within two days in great suffering. He was buried on Friday, and the Waikouaiti School got a half-holiday. Six of the boys walked all the way — a distance of eight miles — to attend the funeral, and they would have had to walk back but for the fact that some kind friends paid their fare and treated them to tea at the Waikouaiti Hotel. -Lyttelton Times, 21/3/1907.
