• Notes

  OBITUARY Mrs. Mary McLernon, a former resident of Napier for many years, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. H. L. Primrose, Gisborne. Mrs. McLernon was the wife of Mr. Samuel McLernon, who was engaged in the jewellery business in Napier for more than 35 years, and who died twelve years ago. Mrs. McLernon was widely known as a valuable and untiring social worker, and was associated in an unostentatious manner with many Napier organisations for the promotion of social welfare. She was also a zealous church worker, who gave of her time unstintingly, notably in connection with St. John's Cathedral. Mrs. McLernon leaves two sons, Mr. Harry McLernon, Gisborne, and Mr. Neville McLernon, Te Araroa, and two daughters, Mrs. H. L. Primrose, Gisborne, and Mrs. Gillies, Hamilton. One son, Lieutenant Leslie McLernon, was killed on Gallipoli. The funeral will leave St. John's Church, Napier, at 2.30 to-morrow afternoon for the cemetery at Parke Island.
