OBITUARY
Michael Lorraine Currie
Michael Currie met with a tragic end at Barville Park, near Port Alfred, yesterday. He was supervising alterations to a dipping tank when a wall collapsed, engulfing him. When he was extricated, life was found to be extinct.
Michael, who was 22 years of age, was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Currie of "The Castle", Salem, and was widely known and highly esteemed. He was educated at St. Andrew's Preparatory School and St. Andrew's College, where he was in Armstrong House. He gained his rugby colours and, during his last season was hookier for the team. He then went on to Cedara where he took a two year diploma course. After assisting his father for a time, he took a manager's post at Barville Park, where he had been for about six months.
The Cathedral of St. Michael and St. George was crowded with mourners this morning when the Dean, the Very Rev. J. H. Hodson, conducted the funeral service, which was followed by interment at the New Cemetery. A mass of floral tributes testified to the widespread regret and sympathy felt over the untimely end to a promising life.
The Divisional Council of Albany, of which Mr. J. L. Currie is a member, suspended its monthly meeting in order that members and officials might attend the service.
We extend our deepest sympathy to the bereaved parents.
