  OBITUARY Mr. James Duncan Hearn, returned soldier of the last war and a well known resident of Eastbourne and the Hutt Valley, died recently at his residence at Upper Hutt. Born at Arahura, Westland, in 1896, he was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Hearn, who afterwards went to Hastings. He was educated at the Hokitika High School, and later joined the staff of the Government Life Insurance Department, and was stationed at Wellington. The late Mr. Hearn enlisted in 1914, and saw service on the Western Front, returning to New Zealand in 1919. On his discharge, he joined the staff of the Hutt Valley Electric Power Board, of which he was still a member at the time of his death. He lived for a number of years at Eastbourne, and whilst resident there played cricket for the Eastbourne Club. Later he joined the local bowling club. He was also a Past Grand Master of Muritai Lodge, I.O.O.F., N.Z. After his transfer to Upper Hutt he became a member of the Wellington Racing Club, and at the time of his death was secretary of the Upper Hutt branch of the Returned Services' Association.
