OBITUARY
THE LATE MR.H. L. ANDREWS.—The remains
of the late Mr. H. L. Andrews were removed on
Tuesday afternoon from the residence of his
father, Mr. W. B. T. Andrews, to Christ
Church, where the funeral service was per-
formed by Dean Marryat, assisted by the Rev..
E. Harding, who, with the Bishop, had fre-
quently attended the deceased during his long
illness. The cortege then left for the North-road
road Cemetery, and was preceded by about 100
scholars and teachers of Whinham College, at
which deceased had been for many years a
teacher. The Scholars carried wreaths and
crosses. About twenty vehicles followed the
mourning carriages, which contained deceased's
father, Messrs Percy and Gordon Andrews
(brothers), H. J. Andrews, Parsons, Packard,
and W. Whinham (uncles), four of deceased's
cousins, and Messrs Fitzgerald, W.B. Carter
(Registrar-General of Deeds), G. Young,
Dittmar, W. Dearman, L. R. Mathews, G. P.
Doolette, Warburton, Fesenmeyer, F. V.
Beyer, Rowley, W. D. Claxton, Craigie, and
many of deceased's old pupils. After the im-
pressive service of the Church of England the
scholars sang the hymn commencing "How
sweet the name of Jesus sounds," after which
Dean Marryat delivered a feeling address.
THE LATE MRS. TOWNSEND.—Our obituary
notices this morning include a reference to
the death of Mrs. Townsend, relict of the late
Mr, William Townsend, a former Mayor of
Adelaide and a well-known member of Parliament
for many years. During the lengthened
period of her husband's association with public
affairs Mrs. Townsend necessarily made many
friends, attracted no less by her genial welcome .
and hearty hospitality than by her unaffected
kindness and graceful attention. Of Mr.
Townsend himself it may truly be said that
under no circumstances was he more
thoroughly himself than when presiding as
host, and this will be readily admitted
by the numerous circle who so frequently
graced the festive board at Pellatt Villa.
In all the duties which devolved upon
him as Mayor of Adelaide during a
period full of notable incidents he was
ably seconded by his amiable partner. This
fact was recognised in the civic address presented
to Mr. Townsend upon his retirement
from the Mayoral chair. Mrs. Townsend's
death, which occurred in in her sixtieth year,
had not been unexpected—in fact during the
past month her relatives and friends had been
prepared for the sad event.
THE LATE ME. T. A. WELLS.—The funeral
bf the late Mr. T. A. Wells, one of the oldest
Australian colonists, took place on Tuesday
afternoon, when the remains were removed
from deceased's late residence, Beulah-road,
Norwood, to the North - road Cemetery.
'Amongst those attending were:—Messrs.! W.
E. Wells, son; C. F., II. E., E. G., and R. N.
Wells, nephews; Messrs. G. Ayliffe, T. Avliffe,
G. Riddoch, Doughty, Newland, E. Miller,
W. Rudall, G. McCoy, A. Howley, E. Heath,
A. G. Burt, A, East, Thomas, A. McCormac,
C. Sanders, and Dumas. The service
was performed by Canon Andrews.
