Quite a gloom was cast over Murchison on Friday morning (says the Nelson Colonist) when it became known that Mrs S. Anderson had passed away in the Reefton Hospital1. The deceased lady had apparently been in her usual Health until Saturday last, when she suddenly became ill, and medical aid was summoned. On Monday Dr Warneford ordered her removal to a hospital, as an operation was found to be necessary. Unfortunately the road to Nelson was blocked, and after passing Iuangahua, Junction a slip was encountered or the Westport road, obliging the car to turn back and proceed to Reefton which was reached at 4 a.m. on Tuesday, after a journey of about 15 hours. The operation was performed on Tuesday afternoon, and the unfortunate woman succumbed on Thursday evening. Mrs Anderson was the second daughter of Mr and Mrs W. Goodyer, who are amongst the oldest and most highly, respected of the early settlers. The bereaved husband, parents, and other relatives have the sincere sympathy of a large circe of friends at their sudden bereavment.
