P.T. WARD ------X------ >From Our Own Correspondent ------X------ IXOPO, December 21. The most distressing news of Mr. P.T. WARD's death was received with deepest sympathy. His demise was quite unexpected. Only two days previously he was engaged in agricultural pursuits. He was an engineer by profession, having served his articles with the well known firm of Tangyes at Birmingham. On coming to this country he was engaged in the Public Works Department, which he left to take up the position of Mining Engineer on the Rand, where he made for himself no small reputation as a man of expert knowledge. After many strenuous years, like so many of his contemporaries, he abandoned his career and decided on a farmer's life, purchasing the farm "Glen Bain" in the vicinity of Lufafa Road. He soon threw himself with great heartiness into his new life. He will be greatly missed. His engaging manners and his charming deference to the veterans of the farm community, gave him an assured position in the respect and esteem of the district. We tender to Mrs. WARD and her children our sincerest sympathy.
