At Christ Church, Taumarunui, Miss Ethel Isabel Gavina Brownlie, eldest daughter of Mrs. Brownlie and the Mr G. P. Brownlie, of New Haven, Owaka, Otago, was married to Mr. Stanley Herbert Andrew, second son of the late Mr. and Mrs. 0. B. Andrew, of Somerset, England. The marriage ceremony was performed by the vicar, the Rev. W. T. F. Skey, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Boyt.

The bride was given away by Mr. Edgar Brownlie, of Gisborne, and was charmingly frocked in embossed gold lace over beige georgette. Her gold-embroidered veil was held in place by a circlet of gold and orange blossoms, her bouquet being of pale pink carnations and roses.

The chief bridesmaid was a sister, Miss Helen Brownlie, who wore a dainty frock of pastel pink flounced georgette, the second bridesmaid being Miss Joyce Street, whose frock was of pale blue flounced crepe de chine with silver trimming. Both maids carried posies of pale blue delphinium and pink gerberas tied with silver streamers. The best man was Mr. Stanley Gibbons, of Kirikau, and the groomsman Mr. D. M. Rennie, of Taumarunui. Mrs. J. R. Powell, of Taumarunui, was at the organ[ist].

Subsequent lo the ceremony, supper was served at the bridegroom’s residence, the guests being received by Mrs. Whitcombe, the bride’s sister, who wore pale pink floral georgette. Owing to the recent death of the bride’s father, the reception was of a private nature, only relatives being present. The honeymoon was spent in Auckland, the bride travelling in a handsome ensemble of crepe de chine in a mushroom shade, with a small hat to tone.

Death of F. W. Weidner.

Residents of Kaikoura will regret to learn of the death of Mr F. W. Weidner, photographer, which occurred with tragic suddenness some time on Friday last, from heart failure. As M Weidner had not been seen about on Friday afternoon and Saturday, Constable McLennan made an investigation, and discovered deceased lying on his bed dead, on Saturday evening. The deceased carried on the business of photographer, and took a keen pride in his work, his landscape and seascape views being equal to anything produced in the Dominion. He was of a retiring disposition, and lived alone. It is unknown whether he has relatives in New Zealand. The funeral of deceased will take place this afternoon.


Coroner's Inquest.
Before Mr J. Davidson (Acting Coroner) and a jury comprising Messrs A. W. Barker (Foreman), A. B. Clark, W. Bodger, and T. Alexander, an inquest was held at the Hospital last evening, Constable McLennan conducting the enquiry. The jury having viewed the body, the following evidence was addressed:—

Harold C. Harrison stated that he identified the body lying at the Morgue as that of Frederick William Weidner, a photographer, who resided in a shop at the northern side of Curran’s garage, on the Esplanade. Witness last saw Weidner alive at 7.30 a.m. on Friday, October 18, when he was standing at the front door of his shop. Weidner remarked that it was going to be a fine day, after which he went inside his shop. Witness did not see him after that. At the time deceased was not fully dressed, and appeared as if he had just got up, his braces hanging loose around his trousers. So far as witness knew. deceased was a single man. Witness did not think he had relatives in New Zealand. He thought deceased’s age would be about 52 [?] years.
 

Constable W. McLennan stated that on the 19th instant he was passing the shop of deceased, and seeing no lights in the windows, and noticing two dogs chained behind the shop, thought Weidner might have been ill, having ascertained that he had not been seen about, since Friday morning. Witness opened the side window and entered the room, where he found deceased dead. He was fully dressed, with the exception of boots, waistcoat and coat, but had an overcoat on, his braces being attached to the buttons on his trousers back and front, by hanging downwards towards the knees. Deceased’s watch was hanging on a nail above the body. Deceased was lying on his back on a stretcher with his feet on the floor. From the state of the body it appeared as if he had died on Friday morning, October 18. Witness examined the body, and saw no marks of violence, nor were there any suspicious circumstances. Witness called in Dr. Withers, who examined the body before it was removed to the Morgue. Witness examined the premises, and there were no indications to suspect poisoning.

Dr. R. L. Withers stated that at about 7.30 p.m. on Saturday, October 19, he was asked by the police to inspect the body of the deceased. Witness found him half lying on his bed, and considered deceased had been dead for at least 24 hours. There were no signs of death having been due unnatural causes. Witness had never attended deceased for any illness. He had made a post-mortem examination at the Hospital Morgue on October 20. There were no external marks of injury or violence, and no evidence of any poisoning. Witness’s examination led him to the conclusion that death was due to sudden cardiac failure, following on a condition of advanced myocardial degeneration. Otherwise the body was that of a healthy man.
 

The jury returned a verdict in accordance with medical evidence.

Cr Withers said there was to be a sale of the late Mr Weidner’s photographs at an early date, and it would be a pity to see the plates and photographs lost.He thought up to £10 should be authorised to purchase a selection of plates. It would be an excellent way of boosting the place. He moved to that effect. Seconded bv Cr. Curran and carried, the matter being left to Cr. Withers and the County Clerk.

 Collection
Enquiry from Turnbull Library about Photos.

After considering an enquiry from the Alexander Turnbull Library concerning the Weidner photograph collection, which had been acquired by the County during the disposal of the late Mr Weidner’s property, the Council at its monthly meeting on Friday decided to accede to the request of the librarian in the photograph section (Mr G. C. Heron), and make the collection of plates available.

The letter of enquiry read as follows:
“In its work of preserving the historical photograph collections of New Zealand, the Alexander Turnbull Library has become acquainted with the work of a Kaikoura photographer, Mr Weidner. Knowing that a portion of his work still exists and is in your possession, the Turnbull Library is anxious to take steps to assure its preservation and make prints of its available, as occasion demands, to historians and the press.

“For this reason 1 have been authorised by the chief librarian, Mr C. R. H. Taylor, to suggest the following for your consideration: If you deposit the negatives of this collection in this library immediate steps will be taken to catalogue them and attention given to any that show signs of deterioration. When this has been done, a complete set of the prints will be made, of as fine a quality as possible, and after they have been appropriately captioned and the library’s number put on each, they will be presented to your council. Then if any further copies are required it will be necessary to furnish us with the number only.
“Perhaps it is necessary to state that the Turnbull Library is administered by the Internal Affairs Department, and so belongs to the people of New Zealand and operates only by government grant and private donations. The work of preserving photograph collections is an expensive one, and one from which no financial remuneration can be expected, but the work is necessary and continues.

“It may be thought that this arrangement may deprive Kaikoura of a historical record, but in taking a collection of negatives it is replacing in a set of prints a far more useful, accessible, and attractive record.

“I am enclosing a copy of a pamphlet concerning our photograph collection which though somewhat out of date, covers some points I have not mentioned.

“I shall await with interest your reply to this proposal, and should it be acceptable to your council, will personally arrange the packing and freighting of these valuable glass plates.”

Cr. P. S. Humm, who said that the collection was very well-known, pointed to the photographs around the Council room, many of which had been the work of the late Mr Weidner, and the plates of which were bought by the Council many years ago. The fact that such an important institution as the Alexander Turnbull Library had sought to acquire the collection for preservation gave them considerable value, and would make them available to a greater number of people.

The County clerk (Mrs S. A. Hewson) added that the plates were packed away in boxes and in the course of time would become valueless through deterioration. On the proposition of Cr. R. R. Laidlaw, seconded by Cr. R. R. McRae, it was decided to accede to the request of the library.

Weidner Collection

Turnbull Library Seeks Information. 

In order that the library might have as complete a record as possible, information concerning the whereabouts of plates or negatives taken by the late Mr Weidner would be appreciated by the Turnbull Library, Wellington.

Recently Mr G. C. Heron, who is in charge of the photograph section of the library, was in Kaikoura to pack the plates donated by the Kaikoura County Council prior to their being forwarded to Wellington. Mr Heron said there were only 200 plates in this lot, and he considered that while Mr Weidner was in Kaikoura he must have taken many more than that number.

“There seems to be a mystery surrounding the work of Mr Weidner,” stated Mr Heron, “and the lack of information is a serious handicap to the cataloguing of such a fine collection of photographs."

It was possible, said Air Heron, that other plates were offered at auction with those purchased by the County Council, but thought of no value and destroyed. Again, they may have been bought by someone, stored away, and forgotten.

“Any information, no matter how little, will be appreciated,” said Mr Heron, whose address is care Turnbull Library, Wellington. During his visit to Kaikoura Mr Heron located a number of plates which had been taken by Mr Weidner but which had become useless through having been left out in the rain. Mr Heron asks that he be given an opportunity to inspect plates or negatives, no matter how worthless they may appear, before they are destroyed.

[1]  Superintendent Ryeland. We regret to announce the death, at his residence, Surry Hills, on Saturday, of Mr. James Ryeland, for many years superintendent of the police depot and the coastal district. Mr. Ryeland, who was in his 66th year, was a native of Gloucestershire, England, and came out to this country in the Bangalore in 1855, under engagement with the Government to join the police force here. He had previously served for five years in the London police, and was specially recommended for the colonial service. On arrival here it was soon seen that his high testimonials were fully deserved, for by strict attention to his duties and his sterling qualities he rapidly rose till he attained the position of superintendent, which he filled with credit to the office and to the great satisfaction of his superiors.

Photography.- Mr D. Jones, [David E. A. Jones?] a photographer of lengthened experience, and, as his work shows, of skill and taste, has taken over Mrs Robottom's Studio in Moore street, and announces his intention of carrying on business in those premises. He makes a specialty of enlargements, and a further specialty of photographing homesteads, villas, and cottage homes, and claims special facility in reproducing groups. Farmers and owners of live stock have frequently a desire to have anything good that they possess preserved in photograph, and in this Mr Jones claims ability to suit their wishes by the latest instantaneous process. As a means of introducing himself to the people he will for fourteen days take the portraits free of children under five years of age at the studio.

[1]  McDougall - Jones
The wedding was quietly celebrated recently at the Rugby Street Methodist Church of Adeline Mae, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs E. D. Jones, Lyttelton, and John, only son of Mr and Mrs J. McDougall, Kaiapoi.

The Rev. O. Burnet, Kaiapoi, officiated, and Mr G. Martin was organist.
