Inquest held before Mr J.M. Twomey, J.P., at Waitohi on Wednesday touching the
death of Eli Mitchell, a well-known farmer of Waitohi, who came by his death the
previous day. G. Davis, shepherd, said the deceased was driving home from Temuka
through the Arowhenua Estate, in a spring cart in which he had a bale of
cornsacks, on which he was sitting. Deceased was not sober, and had tied the
reins to the side of the cart, trusting to the horse to keep the road. It
appeared the horse went to one side and running one wheel up a bank overturned
the vehicle on its side. Bale of sacks pinned him down. The witness and with the
assistance of a neighbour R.J. McCallum, righted the horse and trap and took the
accused home, where he died an hour or two later, just before the doctor
arrived.
Star, 17 February 1898, Page 1
A farmer named Eli Mitchell, residing at Waitohi Flat, Temuka, met with a fatal
accident on Tuesday evening near the Arowhenua Homestead. He was taking home a
bale of cornsacks, and at a newly made crossing through an old gorse fence his
trap was capsized, and the weight of the cornsacks crushed him to the ground.
Several persons went to the rescue, and Mr Mitchell was driven to his home, a
distance o£ about three miles. He was conscious during the journey, but died
before medical assistance could be procured. At an inquest held yesterday a
verdict of " Accidental death " was rejourned.

DEATHS:
TAYLOR. At the Timaru Hospital on Thursday March 3rd, Robert Taylor, aged 85
years. Deeply regretted.
Evening Post, 4 March 1898, Page 5 Timaru, This Day.
An old identity, Mr. Robert Taylor, died in the Hospital today, aged 87. He came from Hobart to Wellington early in the forties, and thence to Lyttelton before the first four ships. He was a builder, and helped to build early Wellington and Lyttelton. He was an old Freemason, and the father of Foresters here.
Timaru Herald, 4 March 1898, Page 3 OBITUARY.
Robert Taylor, better known to old residents of South Canterbury as "Bobby" Taylor, died at the Hospital yesterday morning, at the ripe age of 85. He was one of the pioneers of the colony in a wider sense than usual, as he took part in the establishment of three centres of settlement. He crossed from Tasmania to Wellington in the early forties, and, a builder and joiner by trade, he helped to build up the first wooden Wellington, which was founded in 1840. He next came down to Lyttelton to assist in preparing for the arrival of the pioneer immigrants to Canterbury, who arrived in December, 1850, and he remained there, following his trade and helping to build the first township on Port Cooper. He was a good and ingenious tradesman, and we learn that he was a general adviser or amateur practical architect in those days. In 1859 he removed to Timaru, in the early days of the town, but after the arrival of the Strathallan. He commenced business as builder, contractor, and undertaker, and many of the old structures in Timaru bear the marks of his tools. After some years he tried hotel keeping, in a small house in Beswick Street called the Square and Compass (Mr Taylor was a Mason), but he was burned out of this in a fire which destroyed the original Ship Hotel and South Canterbury Times office. The building now occupied by Mr J. S. Bennett in Beswick Street then belonged to Mr Taylor, and was used as a workshop. It was scorched by the fire but escaped destruction, and this the deceased converted into a general dealer's shop. Later on he transferred his business to a shop in Grey Road, where he carried it on until increasing infirmity compelled him to relinquish it. The deceased was known to everybody in the early days. He was respected for his uprightness, and extremely popular for his quaint humour. He was like Yorick, a fellow of infinite jest. He was one of the oldest Masons and Foresters in Canterbury, and the father of the Foresters' Lodge in Timaru, and both of these orders did their duty by him m his declining years. He leaves seven daughters, all married, many grand children and some great grand-children, most of them in South Canterbury, others at Christchurch and Lyttelton. The funeral takes place on Sunday, and there will no doubt be a very large attendance of the old identities of Timaru and its neighbourhood. Notice is given in another column requesting the brethren of St, John's Lodge to attend the funeral on Sunday, and it is expected that there will be a large attendance of the craft at the funeral of such an old and eminent brother. The deceased was one of the founders of Lodge Unanimity, Lyttelton, the first lodge m Canterbury, and of St. John's Lodge, Timaru.

THE LATE MR BARCLAY. The funeral of the late Mr George Baker Barclay took place
at Waimate on Monday and was largely attended, mourners attending from all parts
of the county to pay a last tribute of respect to the memory of one who was so
well known and universally respected. The deceased was the son of the Rev G.
Barclay, who is well known in South Canterbury. He was born in Ireland, and came
to the colony with his parents when very young. He was trained for the teaching
profession and had charge successively of the Rangitata, Redcliff, and Glenavy
Schools, and was also an assistant-master for some years in the Waimate School.
He was a very successful teacher, and had he chosen to adhere to his profession
would probably have risen to a high rank in the scholastic world. Owing to
ill-heath he decided to relinquish teaching, and a opening occurring in Waimate,
he went into the auctioneering business, in conjunction with Mr Foote. This
partnership lasted three or four years, when Mr Foote retired, and shortly
afterwards the business was disposed of to Messrs Guinness and LeCren, of
Timaru, and Mr Barclay became their agent and representative Waimate. The
connection thus established lasted until Mr Barclay's death. In 1897 he took a
trip to England with a view to improving his condition and before leaving he was
presented with very handsome testimonial subscribe to by most of the people in
the district he being greatly respected by all who him. The pall-bearers at the
funeral were Messrs H. LeCren, J. F Douglas, G. McLean, G. S. Mathias, R
Capstick, and W. M. Hamilton.

The harbour flags were flying at halfmast yesterday, for the death of "old George" Sunnaway, an old boatman of Timaru. The deceased came to Timaru from the West Coast, and had been connected ever since with the working of the harbour. His name is recorded on the Wreck Monument as one of those who survived the perils of the fatal 14th of May, and he was honourably mentioned for his share in that day's work. He suffered a good deal more than one man's share of injuries from accidents, some of them serious ones that would have killed most men. He had reached a good age, and leaves a widow and grown up family.Timaru Herald, 25 September 1882, Page 2
Mr W. Blake, who was stunned and severely bruised by being struck by chips of concrete on the Breakwater on Wednesday, was able to walk about on Saturday, and is expected to be fit for work again in a day or so. George Sunnaway, who had his leg very severely crushed by a log on the Breakwater about two months ago, is just able to got about. It is confidently expected that his leg will soon be us strong at ever.Timaru Herald, 11 February 1888, Page 2
We are very glad to see that Mr George Sunnaway, who some weeks ago broke his thigh when working onboard the Wakatipu, is about again, though still obliged to use crutches. The limb was moat skillfully set by Dr Lovegrove, assisted by other medical gentlemen, and the patient will, we believe, suffer no permanent injury from his unfortunate accident. Mr Sunnaway speaks in the highest terms of the skill, attention, and kindness, which he uniformly experienced in the hospital, and expresses himself as very much pleased with all the arrangements in the institution.Timaru Herald, 22 March 1893, Page 2
An accident occurred between 5 and 6 o'clock o'clock last evening to Messrs Lapthorn and Sunnaway on board the steamer Taviuni, which was lying at the main wharf.

two children, and four years later settled down on Waitohi Flat, where by
industry in his dual occupations he achieved a competence for his old age, and
by his character and interest in the affairs of the school and church, he gained
and retained the respect of all his neighbours, as was attested by the large
attendance at the funeral. He leaves a widow and four children all grown up, Mr
W. Cunningham, of Totara Valley, a well known farmer and stock-dealer being the
eldest. Deceased was a member of the Presbyterian church and the Rev. J. Dickson
conducted the funeral service.
