Death Notice [3]
Obituary.β€”The friends of Mr and Mrs Sheehan (writes a Rakaia correspondent) will be sorry to hear of the death of their son Daniel, which took place at the Ashburton Hospital on Tuesday morning, from typhoid fever. The boy was exceptionally bright and intelligent, and, before his illness, strong and sturdy. He was a member of the South Rakaia School football team, a promising athlete, and a good favourite with his teachers and comrades, his bright cheerful disposition endearing him to many. He will be greatly missed by them. When the news was received at the school, the children were assembled around the flag staff, and told of the death of their companion, the flag being half masted, while the children stood with heads uncovered, and in silence, as a last tribute to their dead comrade. The greatest sympathy is felt for the sorrowing parents. The funeral takes place on Thursday, at 2 p.m., from St. Ita's Catholic Church.

He is buried at plot 11 of the Rakaia Cemetery, Ashburton, Canterbury adjacent to his baby brother who was still born in January 1904.
