Mr. James Prouse, one of the most prominent residents of Levin, died suddenly at his home on Sunday. The deceased was born at the Lower Hutt 65 years ago, and was a son of the late Mr. Richard Prouse, who arrived at Wellington by the Duke of Roxburgh in February, 1840, and who established a sawmill at Wainui-o-mata. Mr. James Prouse was educated at the Hutt. As a young man, he removed to Levin, and remained there until his death. For some years he carried on a sawmilling business at Weraroa, in partnership with his brothers (Messrs. John and Richard Prouse) and Mr. John Wright, and subsequently he went in for farming. He took a prominent part in local affairs, and was a leading member of the local Methodist Church. Mr.. Prouse, who was held in great respect, has left a widow, four sons, and a daughter. The funeral will take place to-morrow.
