The lengthy cortege moved off from the local hospital at 3.30 p.m. on Friday, and a touching ceremony was witnessed at the graveside. In the unavoidable absence of the Rev. Kenworthy, the Rev. S. H.

K. and Mrs Byrne (grand parents), Messrs Bob, Leslie, Fred, Horace and Tom Byrne (uncles), and Mrs R. Caldow and A. Byrne (aunts), while Messrs C. Kroschel, McKenzie, R. A. Caldow and F.
