  OBITUARY. MR. JOSHUA M. GATENBY. The death has occurred at Hawera of Mr. Joshua Mellor Gatenby, a well-known resident of Mangatoki and a prominent Taranaki landholder. Mr. Gatenby was born in Yorkshire, England, in 1879, and came to New Zealand with his parents in the same year. He was educated at the Auckland Grammar School and Queen's College, Auckland, and at an early age engaged in farming in North Auckland. Receiving a substantial legacy from a former employer, Mr. Gatenby settled in Taranaki in 1900, and engaged in dairy farming on a large scale at Mangatoki and Ngaere. He is survived by his wife, six daughters and three sons. The interment took place at Eltham, and was attended by a large number of settlers from all parts of Taranaki.
