Mr James Greenaway, a very old and respected Hawke's Bay identity, died in the Napier Hospital yesterday, at the ripe old age of 93 years. The late Mr Greenaway arrived in Napier in the very early days with the 65th Regiment and after remaining here for some years he removed to Woodville, where he lived for over a quarter of a century, one of the original settlers of the Masterton Road Block. He leaves two sons, Mr Richard Greenaway of Te Pohue and Mr W. F. (Frank) Greenaway now living in the United States and four daughters, Mrs I. A. Campbell of Napier, Mrs T. A. W. Nicholson of Waipawa, Mrs K. J. McLennan of Pahiatua, Mrs C. Campbell of Perth, West Australia and a number of grand-children and great-grandchildren.

GREENAWAY
- At the Napier Hospital, on Tuesday, 4th July, James Greenaway, late of Woodville; aged 93 years.
It is nearly sixty years ago since Mr Greenaway came to New Zealand with the old Sixty-fifth and fought through most of the Maori wars, but left the service when the regiment returned to England. It must be well over thirty years since he came to Woodville and he has been residing in the district constantly since. Some little time ago he was removed to the Napier hospital as his health was so completely failing and he had no one to look after him.
The funeral took place at the Woodville cemetery yesterday afternoon, the Rev Canon Eccles officiating at the graveside.
