THE LATE MR CHATFIELD
Akaroa Mail and Banks Peninsula Advertiser, Volume XXIII, Issue 1881, 14 September 1894, Page 2
The great estimation in which the late Mr Chatfield was held by those amongst whom he has lived and worked was widely evidenced on Wednesday afternoon by the very large attendance who assembled to show him the last mark of respect. The steam launch Piraki first brought friends from Wainui and then the funeral party from Barry's Bay, which arrived at the new wharf shortly after 2 pm. The vessel was crowded with the immediate neighbours of the deceased and the wharf was also largely occupied by his sorrowing friends. The long procession walked over the rough pathway which the living here provide for the last passage of the dead, and the service was most impressively read by the Rev. T. J. Smyth.
It is needless to further refer here to the many merits of the good man that we have lost. As a public men, as well as a friend and neighbour his conduct has always been kindly and irreproachable, and the Akaroa and Wainui Road Board will find it hard to replace his extensive knowledge of the wants of the district, and his valuable opinions. We say all we can when we emphatically state that if ever there was a "straight" man it was William George Chatfield.
