DEATH OF WONG YUAN.

We regret to have record the death of Wong Yuan (Joe), the Chinese printer, who has been employed at the N.T. Times office for about 40 years. He was 59 years old, and had been 42 years in Darwin. He was a good humoured man, honorable in every sense, and extremely reliable. His place will, indeed, be very hard to fill in this office. He was a native of Canton, For some time past he had been in a very poor state of health, subject to sudden and violent attacks, culminating last nigiht in a seizure from which he never recovered. He died at the hospital at 11.30 p.m. The funeral will take place this afternoon at 4 p.m. Thursday 7 April 1921 Northern Territory Times and Gazette (Darwin)
