• Notes

  OBITUARY SUDDEN DEATH OF MR H.S. MYERS. A somewhat sudden death occurred at the Imperial Hotel on Saturday afternoon. Mr H. S. Myers, of Sydney, who was in Auckland on mining business, and staying at the Imperial Hotel, was found by the porter lying dead on the sofa in the smoking-room about 3.30. Mr Myers had lunch at the hotel and seemed in his usual good spirits. He complained of no indisposition, and after lunch, as was his custom, went into the smoking-room to take a nap. He was noticed asleep on the sofa at two o'clock, but when the porter was going out for a walk at 3.30, and locked into the smoking room he was surprised at the paleness of Mr Myers, and was startled on going over to him to find life apparently extinct. Dr. Mackellar and the police were at once communicated with. The former, on arrival, was able to do nothing, and the body was removed by the police to the Morgue. Mr Myers was over here from Sydney on mining business. Some twenty years ago he was a well known wine and spirit merchant here, but of late years had resided entirely in Sydney, only making short visits to this city. It is hardly eighteen months since Mrs Myers and the eldest daughter died in Sydney, and the remainder of the family, the youngest member of which is thirteen years old, are still in Sydney. After leaving Auckland Mr Myers took up the business of a produce merchant, and was also connected with the New Caledonia trade. Latterly he was to a considerable extent interested in mining. He was a native of Tasmania, and was a smart and enterprising business man. Personally ha was very much liked. He was a brother-in-law of Mr Gabriel Lewis, auctioneer, of this city, and of Mr Edward Lewis, of Messrs A. H. Nathan and Co. A post mortem on the body was made by Dr. Mackellar at the morgue this morning and as a result of this examination a verdict of "death from fatty degeneration of the heart" was returned at the inquest held afterwards at Gleeson's Hotel before Dr. Philson, coroner. The funeral of deceased took place at Waikomiti this afternoon. Source: Auckland Star, 2 November 1896, Page 5
