OBITUARY
MR. F. W. LONDON
The death occurred: most unexpectedly yesterday of Mr. Francis Walter London, who was well kriown in Wellington and the Hutt Valley. The late Mr. London came of an old Wellington family, his father being one of the earliest settlers here, and his mother being born in Wellington in 1842. Mr.. London was born in 1865 in Wellington, and was educated at Sanson and at a private school in the Hutt Valley. He was at one time a stationmaster in the New Zealand Railways and was returning officer for the Hutt electoral district until the position was taken over by the Post Office. He was connected with the Hutt Valley, on and off, for the past fifty-five years. Mr. London was very fond of travelling, and visited England eight nine times; there were few countries of any importance in the world which he had not visited. His late brother, Mr. G. London, was an ex-Mayor of Petone.
The late Mr. London is survived by his widow and daughter. Messrs. G. arid F. K. London, of Petone, are nephews.
