OBITUARY.

MR A. FURSE. 

Many friends in Otaki and district will hear with deep regret of the sudden death of Mr Arch. Furse, a respected resident of Otaki, who died at Timaru on Saturday last. Mr Furse some little time ago was seriously ill with pneumonia, but made a good recovery. He went to Timaru some weeks ago to carry out some work for a friend. He had completed his task, and intended leaving for home on Friday last, and had actually secured his ticket, when he took ill in the street. On being taken to the hospital it was found necessary to operate at once, but he died the next day. Mrs Furse was wired for, and left Otaki on Saturday - too late to see her husband. 

Mr Furse was aged about 30 years. He was a native of Cornwall, and had been in New Zealand about six years. He leaves a wife and two young children, with whom the deepest sympathy is felt in their loss. Mr E. Furse, of Olaki, is a brother to deceased, whose, mother resides in Cornwall.  -Otaki Mail, 13/10/1919.
