OBITUARY. 

Profound regret was expressed in Waimate on Saturday, when news was received of the death of Mr Leslie Edward Sargent. The late Mr Sargent concluded his education at the Waimate District High School in 1917, and was appointed to a position on the staff of the “Advertiser,” assuming the responsibilities of business manager and head of the publishing department of the paper before reaching the age of 21 years. In business spheres all with whom he came in contact honoured him for his integrity and ability. The deceased was unmarried, and was not quite 29 years of age at the time of his death. The sympathy of the residents of the whole district goes out to his mother, Mrs A. K. Sargent, his brother, Mr Austin Sargent, and sister, Mrs R. J. Murphy, all of whom reside in Waimate, in their bereavement. The remains will be interred in Dunedin on Tuesday, at a private funeral.  -Timaru Herald, 13/1/1930.
