RAILWAY ACCIDENT
The Victim A Native Of Invercargill
Thomas Welsh, the victim of the railway accident on the main Trunk line, was a native of Invercargill. He was born at Georgetown a little over thirty years ago and was a son of the late Patrick Welsh, who was killed about twenty years ago by a falling tree while engaged at work in Seaward Bush and of Mrs Holz, a resident of Gorge Road. He also leaves a brother, Arthur, who is employed as a train examiner in the railway service at Blugg. Mr Welsh was educated at the Haldane School and in August 19903 entered the Invercargill engine-shed. Subsequently he became a fireman and about twelve years ago was transferred to Timaru, where he resided for some years, when he removed to the North Island, having obtained an engine-driver's certificate. He was a nephew of Mr Michael Welsh, of Ettrick street.

TAIHAPE
On the advice of the hospital doctor, the inquest of the late Thomas Welsh, the victim of the recent railway accident north of Taihape, has been adjourned to Wednesday, June 4th. McKenna, the fireman, is not yet well enough to give evidence.
