    Intelligence received from Durban yesterday records the death of Mr Stanley "Rees Scott, of Ponsonby, after a short illness. Mr Scott was twenty-seven years of age, and a well-known Ponsonbyite. At the commencement of the South African war he, accompanied by a number of Aucklanders, left for the seat of war and joined Brabant's Light Horse, afterwards being attached to Roberts' Horse. The departure of these young Aucklanders from our shores was a most enthusiastic one. For a number of years. Mr Scott was clerk in the office of the late Mr E. T. Dufaur. of this city, subsequently joining Messrs Morrison and Phillips' business. Auckland. His loss is mourned by a large number of friends. He leaves four sisters and four brothers to mourn their loss, and much sympathy is felt for them in their hour of tribulation. Public - Lorraine M - Researcher - 3 September 2015 - Research
