Obituary:
BLACKMORE
Mr Joseph Blackmore, who has resided in the Timaru district for nearly 30 years, and was greatly respected, was found dead in his bed yesterday morning by his wife. Mr Blackmore for many years conducted a large dairying business, but a short time ago he disposed of it owing to ill-health. As he had been attended by a doctor, an inquest will not be necessary. [1]
