| Notes |
- The Southland Times reports the death of Mr. John B. Hunter, a very old resident of South Riverton. Arriving in New Zealand with his parents when but a lad, Mr. Hunter took up the printing trade, and served his apprenticeship at Auckland and subsequently worked at the "Star", Office, Dunedin. He remained at his trade for some years, and eventually retired and went to reside in Riverton, where he has lived ever since. He was a writer of some repute, and contributed to several magazines ? both prose and poetry. A warm-hearted,generous man, one who was ever willing to assist, a neighbour, or anyone in distress, the late Mr. John Blake Hunter will be greatly missed for his many kindly acts. Mr Hunter leaves a widow, a son, and a daughter, the son being Mr. W. S. Hunter, solicitor, Riverton, and the daughter Mrs. J. Jack, Wanganui.
