The death of Mrs Sarah Grace Pooke occurred at her home, 322 Bealey avenue. Christchurch, where she had resided for more than 19 years. The esteem in which Mrs Pooke was held was shown by the number of friends who attended the service conducted at the graveside by Mr D. Smith, of the Richmond Mission. Mrs Pooke came to Now Zealand in November, 1889, and early in 1890 she married Mr John Pooke, of Pareora. The news of her death will be received there with great regret, as she had lived in the district for more than 27 years. She was always very sympathetic and kindhearted to those in trouble, and was a devoted wife and mother. She is survived by her husband, two sons—Messrs Thomas and Franke Pooke, of Pareora—and one daughter—Mrs W. J. Dunsford, of Richmond, Christchurch.
