OBITUARY

Dr. Thomas Aloysius Leahy Ib is our sad duty to-day to record the demise of Dr. T. A Leahy, who hae been Buffering for a considerable length of time from an internal complaint. A fatal ending was looked for, and no one was surprised when at? about four o'clock on S^lurdny afternoon the news went abroad that the doctor waip dead. Dr f. eahy c-itne of an old Limerick f« mily, having b-^en the third s n of Mr Michael Leahy, Crown tolicito-, Cul ma He use, Newcastle West, Couuty Limerick. Deceased received his early education al the French O>Ueg<», Plackrock, Dublin, anii took his medical degrees at Trinity Coil p^p, DnV.lin. He came out to >-<-w Zealand m 18/4, and cemmTCpd the practice of his pmfession m Roxburgh, Otago. In .April 1878, he was appointed Burgeon to 'the Dunstan Hospital, and m September of the same year, he married Helen, eldest daughter of X L. Begg, Esq., \ one of the earlier settlers of Otago, Hia potion at Dunstan Hospital he held till 1882, wfren he came to Arhburton and commenced practice. In 1888 he paid a visit to the old country, and while there took the de/;ree of M.D. at Trinity College, Dublin. "Che doctor has for the past bixteen ye? rs been a prominent figure m Athburtoo . He was ready always to bear a hand m tfa:e furtherance of philanthropic and education) il work, and was a leader m all legitimate Bport. For years the pro moters <<f rioing and hunting profited by his wise counsel, and if there were anj. p frictional difficulties to be over come ab any time, ib was usually left to him to surmount them by his tactful genia'ity and the neat way he had of saying kindly things j.usb at the right time. A fellow medicaJ. man at a recent meeting of a public body, m acknowledging a compliment paid to the management, said that Dr Le&hy't speech was only one more proof of an oft repeat* :d statement that if you wanb a nica thing /licely said, you must get an Irishman to say ib. In all his connections Dr Leahy was ever popular and a leader. He was known everywhere over the county, and few men ie< any profession possessed co many friendu, or could possibly be so genuinely mourned. Dr Leahy leaves a widow and two daughters to mourn his death at the early age of forty-six. • To show how much he was thought of m sporting circles it may be mentioned that an important general meeting of the Ashburton Raciog Club was adjourned on Saturday night before doing any business out of respect to the memory I of the deceased. The funetal will take place on Tuesday, leaving the Church of the , Holy Name at half-p&st two.

Mrs William Brown.

Mra William Brown, of Wakanui, but who haa recently been residing at Tinwald, died yesterday afternoon. Deceased has been ailing for some time.
