SAD FATALITY MASTERTON LADY DROWNED
Yesterday morning Mrs E. Payne. wife of Mr H. Payne, of Homebush, met her death under tragic circumstances. It appears that shortly after 7 o'clock, while Mr Payne was making a cup of tea, Mrs Payne went outside. As she did not return in a few minutes, Mr Payne called out to her. He received no reply and thereupon went to a neighbour's house. A search for Mrs Payne was instituted and shortly afterwards her body was found face downwards in a water-course some distance from the house. Dr Archer Hosking was called in, but could only pronounce life to be extinct. For some time past the deceased had been medically attended for dizziness in the hear. It is thought that when walking along the creek bank she was seized with dizziness and fell into the water and was drowned.
The deceased, who was 74 years of age and had resided in Masterton for 35 years, leaves a family consisting of Messrs Charles, James, Philip and George Payne and Mesdames W. Clapp (Farndon, Napier) and J. Cole (Masterton). The funeral will take place tomorrow at 2 p.m. Much sympathy will be extended to the family in their sad bereavement.
An inquest was held this morning before Mr E. G. Eton, acting-coroner and a jury of six, consisting of Messrs David Donald (fore,am), Richard Barrer, George Smith, H. T. Byrne, Philip D. Wallace and William Murray. The evidence of Mr Payne bore out the facts stated above. The evidence of Dr Archer Hosking gave it as his opinion that the deceased lady had wandered into the watercourse and had been suddenly overcome with dizziness and had fallen into the water. After hearing other evidence of a formal nature, the jury returned a verdict that deceased met her death through drowning by accident.
