DEATH.
Rule.—On July 22, 1899, at Matlock House, Burnett Street, Ashburton, Willie, the youngest son of S. A. and W. H. Rule. Aged 17. [Ashburton Guardian, Volume XXI, Issue 4853, 22 July 1899, Page 2]
FUNERAL.— The funeral took place to-day of the late son (Willey) of Mr W. H. Rule, who died on Saturday after a brief illness. The mournful procession left Matlock, Tancred street, at 10 a.m. this morning. The coffin, covered with white figured plush, and furnished with heavy gold and black furniture, was carried on an open funeral car, on which were placed a large number of floral tributes from sympathetic friends. The pall bearers were Messrs Silcock (2), M. Bruce, Anderson, Stringfellow, and C. Jeff, Three coaches followed, carrying the immediate relatives and friends of deceased, after which came deceased's horse, riderless and led, followed by butchers' riders and the butchers of the town and district, whose shops were closed as a mark of respect, as were a few other shops along the line of route. About thirty conveyances brought up the rear, but the cortege was joined by a large number of horsemen and others near the Ashburton saleyards. At the Ashburton cemetery the Rev B. A. Woodthorpe conducted the service for the dead in a most impressive manner, amidst surroundings seldom witnessed in this part of New Zealand, the pines, &c, hanging heavily with snow, as if joining in the mournful ceremony. And so were laid to rest all that was mortal of one who less than a short week ago was in the enjoyment of robust health and vigorous youth. Much sympathy is felt for Mr and Mrs Rule and family in being thus painfully bereaved of their youngest son. [Ashburton Guardian, Volume XXI, Issue 4855, 25 July 1899, Page 3]
