[2]  News reached Gisborne this morning of the death of Mrs J. F. Pettie, which took place at Dunedin last evening. Mrs Pettie recently returned to Gisborne from California, whither she had gone with her husband on a holiday tour, and left a few days ago on a visit to Dunedin, being accompanied by her sister, Mrs McCullough. On the voyage South she took ill, and had to be carried, from the boat at Dunedin to the residence of her sister, Mrs Barclay. Mr Pettie left Gisborne on Sunday, but as the Tarawera was unable to berth at Napier he missed the express, and only reached Lyttelton this morning. Mr and Mrs Pettie have been residents of the East Coast for the past fifteen years, and the news of Mrs Pettie's demise will come as a great shock to many friends, by whom she was greatly esteemed.
