HBH 1890 August 6 GLENDINNING ***note by Elaine-Typed exactly as written From our own Correspondent Wairoa-Tuesday Obituary and inquest details I observe by last Saturday's Herald that my telegram to you with reference to the lamentable sudden death of Mr John GLENDINNING, of Waihua, a well known settler of this district, was published in a form different from the message wire to you. The words wrongly put before the name of deceased were liable to be construed as wanting in due respect to the late John Glendinning, he being such a well-known settler and known all over Hawke's Bay. The inquest was held on Saturday last at deceased's residence, Waihua, at 2 p.m. before Mr POWDRELL, J.P., acting coroner, and a jury of six, of whom Mr Neil WALKER was foreman, Laura Sarah GLENDINNING, widow of deceased, gave evidence to the effect that after deceased had done some work he returned to the house, went into the bedroom, complained of weight about the region of the heart, vomited frequently, subsequently went into convulsions, and died in about an hour after being taken bad. Andrew Mc MAHON gave very similar evidence, with the addition that deceased vomited some blood. Both witnesses stated that deceased had often complained of symptoms which pointed to disease of the heart. Dr. ROSS said that from the evidence given by the witnesses he was satisfied that deceased died from heart disease, aggravated by exertion. The jury being satisfied as to the cause of death returned a verdict in accordance with the evidence. The remains were brought into town yesterday and placed in St. Paul's Church, a number of country settlers and townspeople forming a funeral cortege. The body will be conveyed to NAPIER by the s.s. Te KAPU tomorrow, and thence be forwarded to DUNEDIN by the boat going South next Saturday for interment in DUNEDIN. The late John GLENDINNING came to this district about five years ago, having purchased Mr HASSELL'S interest in the WAIHUA run. He was elected a member of the County Council two years ago, which position he held till his death. At the Council meeting last Saturday a motion conveying votes of condolence to the widows of the late Councillors Thomas PARKER and John GLENDINNING was passed unanimously. The Council also adjourned till the evening, the members paying a tribute to the memory of deceased, and expressing sympathy with his family in feeling terms. The Rev. Mr WELSH also in Sunday night's service alluded to the sudden death, and spoke in impressive language of the sad event. Much regret is expressed here, and deep sympathy for the widow and family of five children, two of whom are grown up. Deceased was 47 years of age at the time of his death.
