The late Mr. Witherby: On Saturday last a large number of the inhabitants of this town, of both sexes and all ages and degrees, followed to the grave the remains ot Mr. Frederick Witherby, late Manager of the Union Bank of Australia here, who died on the previous Thursday. Mr. Witherby was well known as an early settler in Nelson, afterwards in Wellington, more lately in Otago, and for the last six months of his life in this province. He was connected with the Union Bank first in Wellington and afterwards removed to Otago, when the branch of that bank was first established in Dunedin. After resiling there for three years, he received the appointment of Manager of the branch in this town, on Mr. Palmer transferring his services to Christchurch. He had enjoyed the advantages of this piece of preferment but six months, when he died, one of a few victims of a fever lately prevalent among the community. During the short period of his residence within our borders, Mr. Witherby had contrived to secure, as he had done wherever he had been before, the unmixed esteem and sincere friendship of all who met him, either in business or in his private capacity and his loss is proportionately felt. Mr. Witherby had been married for six years, and leaves a widow (daughter of Mr. Felix Wakefield) and three children.
