Mr JAMES HANLEY
Another of the early residents of Masterton has passed away in he person of Mr James Hanley, whose death occurred at the residence, Pine Street, early on Saturday evening, after a comparatively short illness. The deceased, who was well-known and very highly respected, had been a resident of this town for 28 years and for the past 22 years had been employed in the railway service. He took a keen interest in the welfare of the town and was an enthusiastic member of the old Volunteer Fire Brigade and also a member of the Veterans' Fire Brigade Association. The late Mr Hanley, who was a member of the Ancient Order of Foresters, was born in Spittel Country, Limerick, Ireland and arrived in New Zealand in the ship "Crusiado" at the age of 30 years(sic). He leaves a widow and family of nine (five sons and four daughters) to mourn their loss. Much sympathy will be extended to the family in their bereavement.
The funeral will leave the residence, Pine Street, at 2 o'clock to-morrow (Tuesday).
