Killed in Delville Wood, July 16th, 1916. Second son of Mr. and Mrs. C.V. DEELEY, Dannhauser, Late Greenwood Park. "Pro Patria." 4862 OBITUARY ------x------ MR. W.H. GRIFFIN ------x------ We much regret to record the death of Mr. William Henry GRIFFIN, which occurred suddenly at his residence in Longmarket Street in the early hours of Saturday morning. The late Mr. GRIFFIN, who was in his 71st year, was about as usual on Friday, though he had not been well for some time, and his death was therefore unexpected. He was the first member for Maritzburg South in the Union Parliament, representing the constituency as a Unionist for several years, until defeated by the late Dr. BUNTINE. Mr. GRIFFIN first came to Maritzburg in 1883, when he took over from his father the business known as Messrs. SOWDEN and STODDART. He retired from that business about 15 years ago, and started the stockbroking agency now carried on by his son, Mr. H.W. GRIFFIN. He was twice married, his first wife dying prior to his coming to Maritzburg, and in 1885 he married Miss FLEMMING, a daughter of the late Mr. John FLEMMING, at one time Mayor of the City. Mrs. GRIFFINE survives her husband, and there are two daughters and a son of the marriage, together with three sons and a daughter of the deceased gentleman's earlier marriage. Always keenly interested in politics, Mr. GRIFFIN proved a very sound member in the Assembly, where he sat for some five years. He was much esteemed for his personal charm of manner and kindly nature, and was a very staunch supporter of the Congregational Church. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon at the Presbyterian Cemetery, being preceded by a short service in the Congregational Church. The last rites were administered by the Rev. William ANGUS, and among the many present at the graveside were Mr. George GRIFFIN (brother), Messrs. Henry, Norman, Kenneth and Errol GRIFFIN (sons), Mr. T. FLEMMING (brother-in-law), Mr. R. LINDSAY and Mr. R. RANDLES (sons-in-law), and many other friends and relatives of the deceased gentleman.
