Obituary. MR EUGENE REES CURTIS.
There died at the New Plymouth Hospital this (Wednesday) morning a member
of a well-known Taranaki family, Mr Eugene Rees Curtis, fifth son of the
late Mr George Curtis, of Omata. The deceased, who, had he lived till
Monday next, October 2nd, would have attained, the age of 49 years, had
for years been engaged in farming pursuits — first on his father's farm at
Omata, and when the farm was sold, at other places. His health was never
robust, and a few years since he gave up farming, but lived on farms as a
paying guest, the country air suiting him better than that of the town. On
the 10th of the present month, kidney trouble from which he had suffered
assumed an acute form, and at his own desire he was taken to the New
Plymouth Hospital for treatment, where, despite all that the medical and
nursing staff could do, He passed quietly away at 3 a.m. to-day. His
brothers and sisters— Messrs G. N., C. S. and O M (of Stratford) H. B.
(Inglewood) E. T. (Customs officer, Gladstone), Mrs Carthew (Henui),
and Mrs 1. W. Mace (Koru) will have the sympathy of a large number of
friends at their bereavement. , The funeral will leave the Hospital for
Henui Cemetery at 2 p.m; on Friday.
