MRS A T DICKASON

The friends of Mrs A T Dickason, of Masterton, will regret to hear of her death, which occurred at the Masterton Hospital at mid day today. The deceased lady had had a long and painful illness, and very little hopes were entertained for her recovery for some time past. The late Mrs Dickason was born at Brockley, Kent, England, and came to New Zealand ten years ago, and has resided in Masterton ever since. She was of a kindly disposition, and endeared herself to those with whom she came in contact. The deceased lady was 34 years of age, and leaves a husband and two children (aged 7 years and 13 months respectively), who will have the sincere sympathy of their friends in their sad bereavement. The funeral will leave the residence, Pownall Street, at 3 o'clock on Thursday afternoon.
