DEATH. Montgomerie. — On December 26th, at Makirikiri, Archibald William, son of the late William Eglinton Montgomerie, of Annick Lodge, Ayrshire, Scotland, aged 39 years. (Wanganui Herald, Dec. 27, 1877)
We deeply regret to record the sudden death of Mr A. W. Montgomerie, one of our respective settlers in the Upokongaro district. The deceased gentleman was enjoying the Christmas festivities when he suddenly complained of not feeling well and asked for some water. Putting his head down his spirit passed away. The intensely painful circumstance, coupled with the great esteem in which Mr Montgomerie was held, has cast a gloom over the usually brisk and cheerful up-river settlement. (Wanganui Herald, Dec. 27, 1877)
Obit. — There is always something unusually solemn in the reflections induced by the sudden and unexpected passing away of a life which seemed to he enshrined in an apparently robust and healthy body. Death is at all times painful and saddening to sorrowing survivors, but it is inexpressibly so when it claims its victim without giving the least indication of its approach. At the holy Christmas tide, while in the apparent enjoyment of his usual health and strength, without any disturbing elements to cause anxiety, or premonitory symptoms to indicate approaching dissolution, Mr W. A. Montgomerie suddenly drooped his head and died. The deceased gentleman was much respected and esteemed, both in Wanganui and in Upokongaro, the district in which he resided, for his many estimable qualities of head and heart. He was well connected, being a near relative of the late Governor of this colony, Sir James Fergusson. Two brothers survive him, one of whom is Captain of H. M.S. Blanche, and the other the sitting member for Ayr in the British House of Commons. The remains of the deceased were interred yesterday afternoon in the Wanganui Cemetery, the Rev Mr Tudor officiating at the funeral obsequies. The high estimation in which deceased was held in Wanganui was evidenced by the number of our townspeople who paid the last mournful tribute to his memory by following in the funeral procession.
