12668	OBITUARY MR J H PAULING It is with feelings of deep regret that we record the death of Mr J H Pauling, which occurred yesterday afternoon at 3.35 o'clock. Mr Pauling's illness was only of a recent date. He was attending a Trust Lands Trust meeting a few weeks ago when he was taken suddenly ill and was removed to his home in Kuripuni, where he remained for some time in a very serious condition; in fact, at one period very little hope was held out for his recovery. Clever medical skill, careful nursing and the great courage which Mr Pauling possessed pulled him through the crisis. Subsequently he was able to get about, but only for a brief time, when he was taken ill again. His health was of such a precarious nature that it was deemed advisable to have him removed to the Masterton Hospital, where an operation was performed, from which Mr Pauling never recovered. Though he knew the end was not far distant, he was bright and cheerful to the last. There was probably no more popular citizen in Masterton than the late Mr Pauling. He was of a particularly genial nature, a friend to everybody, and an honest fearless man who commanded the respect of everyone. He had endeared himself to all who knew him by his many acts of kindness, and his readiness to help others along the Road of Life. His charitable actions could be likened unto those of the late Rev Dr Stuart, of Dunedin, who was worshipped by all classes -they were " done by stealth," for no one hated publicity more than plain Jim Pauling. Many a working man in Masterton has been " helped over the style" by him - helped along the road to prosperity, and it is these who will mourn most sincerely the loss of a true friend and adviser. He had no enemies - no one even heard a harsh word spoken about him - he was loved and respected by all for those qualities which go to make the ideal man. The worker has lost a staunch friend, and Masterton one of her best citizens - one who is mourned in every home in Masterton to-day. The late Mr Pauling was born in Dumfries, Scotland in 1860, and was therefore, 52 years of age. He arrived in New Zealand when 3 years old, and came to Masterton from Ashburton - where he was a prominent public man - in September, 1900. Since then up till the time of his death he had occupied the position of manager of the Masterton Farmer's Implement Company, which he filled with every credit. The deceased took an active part in local politics. He was formerly a member of the School Committee, and a member of the Masterton Borough Council, resigning the latter position owing to the new Municipal Act, which was recently brought into force, and which prevented him acting on the Council when his firm was doing business with it. He was also a member of the Trust Lands Trust, and was one of the founders and first captain of the Masterton Fire Police Corps, and had also been a member of the Masterton Fire Board. He was also a prominent Druid and Mason, and had been a Justice of the Peace for many years. He was a valuable member of the Wairarapa Caledonian Society, and was president in 1906 and again this year. He also belonged to the Scottish Society, of wellington. A widow and family of nine are left to mourn their loss, and they will have the sympathy of the whole community in their bereavement. The funeral will take place on Thursday, leaving the deceased's late residence at Kuripuni for the Masterton cemetery at 2.30pm.	Pauling, James Henry (Gibson) (I555)
12669	Obituary William Elliott Another old identity has passed to his long home suddenly in the well known person of William Elliott of Nevis. Deceased who was a strong hale man for his years of 63 has been bringing up sheep from Southland and to gain time crossed them over the river. This necessitated his crossing also the result being a wetting which caused an inflammation which set in ultimately ending in death. Mr Elliott who came to Mr Cowan's station some 16 years ago was a sturdy specimen of border Scot, a native of Hockholm (sic) of Liddisdale Roxburghshire. About six years ago he left his employment of Kawarau Station and located himself and his family at Nevis where he kept a hotel and general store. His interest in public affairs still continued and to him in a great measure are the Nevis people still indebted for obtaining a road through from their township to Garston. Deceased leaves a grown up family and wife to mourn his loss and their grief will be shared by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. The funeral to the new cemetery which was largely followed took place on Saturday. The officiating clergyman was Mr White.	Elliot, William (I1805)
12670	OBITUARY Monday March 22 1920 HELEN MILLER ELLIOT, Aged 81 years. Death has claimed still another of our worthy pioneers in the person of Helen M Elliot, who passed away at Nevis on Tuesday morning at the advanced age of 81 years. Deceased lady, with her husband, who predeceased her some 29 years ago, arrived at the Bluff in the "Flying Mist" foundered at Bluff on that particular trip. The first scene of the couples activities was Invercargill. From there they spent varying periods at Hillend, Five Rivers, Fairlight and Kawarau Falls. Forty-seven years ago they took up their residence at Nevis, where the late Mr Elliot accepted an appointment with Mr James Cowan. In 1889, they acquired the Nevis Hotel property, but two years later the deceased lady had the misfortune to lose her husband, and she controlled the hotel until 1905, when she disposed of the property. In her control of the hotel, as in later life, the late Mrs Elliot's hospitality knew no bounds. with the exception of but a short period, deceased made the Nevis her home for close on 50 years, and many can bear testimony to her untiring efforts and ready assistance to the sick and ailing, and by reason of that and the many noble characteristics with which she was endowed, deceased was admired and respected on all sides. deceased is survived by three of a family of five daughters (Mrs C Scott, Mrs E McNulty, and Mrs J Ritchie, Nevis), and claimed twenty-seven grand-children, and thirteen great-grand-children. To these the deepest sympathy goes out in their bereavement. The funeral in the New Cemetery, Cromwell, on Thursday, was attended by friends from all parts of the district, the funeral service being conducted by Mr Witheford.	Miller, Helen (I1806)
12671	OBITUARY MRS KATE YATES An old and respected resident of Masterton, Mrs Kate Yates, widow of the late Mr George Yates, passed away at the Masterton Hospital on Monday morning after a very brief illness. The late Mrs Yates, who was in her 72nd year, had resided practically the whole of her lifetime in Masterton, having made the journey over the Rimutakas in a bullock dray some 69 years ago with her parents, the late Mr Thomas and Mrs Harriet Hill. She led a quiet domestic life, and was held in the highest esteem by all with whom she came in contact. In her young days she was a noted horsewoman. The late Mrs Yates is survived by three sons - Messrs. H G and W B Yates (Masterton), and Mr F P (Jack) Yates (Martinborough), and one daughter, Mrs A O'Callaghan (Masterton). There are also eight grandchildren. One son, the late Mr C V Yates, died some five years ago. Her husband predeceased her about seven years ago. Mrs H H Wimsett (Lyall Bay, Wellington) is a sister of Mrs Yates.	Hill, Kate (I6608)
12672	OBITUARY One of the oldest pioneer settlers of Mount Cargill, Mr John Kemp, passed away last Tuesday, and was buried yesterday in the Waitati Cemetery. Mr Kemp was born at Sandwich, Kent, 88 years ago. On arrival in the colony he was attracted by the gold rush at the Dunstan diggings, but eventually he took up land in the Blueskin district, where he resided almost up to the time of his death. He encountered many of the hardships which fell to the lot of the pioneers. He was predeceased by his wife some 12 months ago, and leaves three sons and four daughters, together with a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, to mourn their loss.	Kemp, John (I247)
12673	Obitutary The death of Arthur James Scott occured at Paeroa last month. Born at Nevis in 1924, Mr Scott was the second son of Mrs Helen Miller Scott of Arrowtown, and the late Francis Albert Scott. He recieved his education at the High Street School Dunedin, and the Arrowtown School.After leaving school he was employed by the Dunedn branch of the NZ Breweries as an apprentice cooper. He was a member of the Dunedin FNVR Cadets and at the age of 18yrs he enlsted for service in the Royal Navy but was rejected. From there Mr Scott joined the Star of Canada and sailed within the Far and Middle East regions, and on reaching England joined the British Merchant Navy and served in the Battle of the Atlantic for which he recieved the Atlantic Star. During this battle his ship was torpedoed north of Iceland and he was rescued by a corvette. After the war he returned to the Dominon and followed various occupations throughout the country and was employed as a carpenter labourer at the Mangakino hydro-electric works at the time of his death.

HELEN MILLER ELLIOT, Aged 81 years.

Death has claimed still another of our worthy pioneers in the person of Helen M Elliot, who passed away at Nevis on Tuesday morning at the advanced age of 81 years. Deceased lady, with her husband, who predeceased her some 29 years ago, arrived at the Bluff in the "Flying Mist" foundered at Bluff on that particular trip. The first scene of the couples activities was Invercargill. From there they spent varying periods at Hillend, Five Rivers, Fairlight and Kawarau Falls. Forty-seven years ago they took up their residence at Nevis, where the late Mr Elliot accepted an appointment with Mr James Cowan. In 1889, they acquired the Nevis Hotel property, but two years later the deceased lady had the misfortune to lose her husband, and she controlled the hotel until 1905, when she disposed of the property. In her control of the hotel, as in later life, the late Mrs Elliot's hospitality knew no bounds. with the exception of but a short period, deceased made the Nevis her home for close on 50 years, and many can bear testimony to her untiring efforts and ready assistance to the sick and ailing, and by reason of that and the many noble characteristics with which she was endowed, deceased was admired and respected on all sides. deceased is survived by three of a family of five daughters (Mrs C Scott, Mrs E McNulty, and Mrs J Ritchie, Nevis), and claimed twenty-seven grand-children, and thirteen great-grand-children. To these the deepest sympathy goes out in their bereavement. The funeral in the New Cemetery, Cromwell, on Thursday, was attended by friends from all parts of the district, the funeral service being conducted by Mr Witheford.

One of the oldest pioneer settlers of Mount Cargill, Mr John Kemp, passed away last Tuesday, and was buried yesterday in the Waitati Cemetery. Mr Kemp was born at Sandwich, Kent, 88 years ago. On arrival in the colony he was attracted by the gold rush at the Dunstan diggings, but eventually he took up land in the Blueskin district, where he resided almost up to the time of his death. He encountered many of the hardships which fell to the lot of the pioneers. He was predeceased by his wife some 12 months ago, and leaves three sons and four daughters, together with a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, to mourn their loss.

The deceased, who had been an invalid for 18 years, and had been confined to her bed for the last four months, will probably be remembered by many Petersfield people as the daughter of the late Mr Henry Kimber, who some 40 years ago kept the Blue Anchor Inn, Petersfield, and also as the widow of the late Mr W J Passingham, who for many years carried on what was known as the business of the Portsmouth Mineral Water Company in Chapel Street. The late Mrs Passingham was 54 years of age, and had resided in Petersfield for 45 years.. The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. W E Summers. The chief mourners were Mr W J Passingham (son), Misses Bessie and Nellie Hill (daughters), Miss E Passingham (daughter), Mrs E Passingham, Mr George Kimber (brother), Mrs Phillips, and Mrs Perris (sisters), Mrs T Hill, (niece), and Mr A Baker. The coffin, which was of polished elm, with brass fittings, was covered with a number of beautiful floral tributes, including tokens from "Relatives and friends at 14 Charles Street", Mrs Kimber (mother), "Aunt Rose and Uncle Jack", "Aunt Louie and family", Mr Stanford Fisk, Mr and Mrs W H Grant, Mrs Albery, and "Friends in Charles Street". The funeral arrangements were satisfactorily carried out by Messrs A and G Barnes.
