REID The many friends of Mr Thomas Reid, of Maioro and Waiuku, will regret to hear of the sudden decease, which occurred at Grafton Road, Auckland, on September 20th, after a short and painful illness, at the advanced age of 72. The deceased gentleman was widely-known and esteemed in the neighbourhood of Auckland, where he had resided for about 40 years. Mr Reid was a native of Dungannon, County Tyrone, and when a young man left the land of his birth for the purpose of trying his fortune on the Australian goldfields, which were then becoming famous. After a short residence in New South Wales he was persuaded to try New Zealand, where he first settled at Howick, and eventually at Waiuku, where he was largely interested insheep and cattle grazing,experiencing some of the vissicitudes of the Maori war. Mr Reid was married in 1860 to Miss Margaret Williamason, sister of the late Hon.
