OBITUARY
Deep regret was felt throughout the district when it became known last Saturday that Private Edgar Neave, the second son of Mr and Mrs S. F. Neave, had died at sea on his way to England. The cause of death was pneumonia and great sympathy is felt for the family as this is two of the sons who have given their lives for their country. Private Neave was a great favourite with all who knew him and when he left was very much missed, especially in church matters, as he was a constant worker for the church in many ways.
