It is seldom that an aged couple, after passing long years of married life together, finish their earthly career within a few moments of each other, but this occurred on Saturday at Manurewa, when Mr and Mrs Robert Scott both died within ten minutes of each other, and in each case death was due to cardiac failure, supervening upon an attack of influenza. The couple were very old residents of Manurewa. Mr Scott was born in Leicestershire, England, 83 years ago, and has been in New Zealand for 66 years. His wife, who was 79 years of age, was born in Sydney, and came to New Zealand 67 years ago. - They are survived by six sons and two daughters.
