Forty years ago the late Mr. Mowat took up his residence in Wellington, buying out the tailoring establishment of Messrs. J. and R.

Then he travelled the world, and usually paid a visit to Dunedin about Christmastide. A few years ago he had the bad luck to break a leg. In Wellington he was a member of the Commercial Travellers’ Association and the principal bowling club. He also took a keen interest in his duties as a Freemason.

275	16 Apr 1912, aged 53 at Greenfield, Te Puke, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. Memorial Inscription: Old Te Puke Cemetery, Western Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, Plot 1214 In Loving Memory of Jane dearly beloved wife of William Harray who died at Te Puke 1st Oct 1918 aged 64 years At rest. In Loving Memory of William dearly beloved husband of Jane Harray who died 16th April 1912 aged 53 years Sleep on beloved Ever remembered by all your Grandchildren Probate Record: Record 206, Item R6873424. Will dated 20 November 1908. Obituary: Bay of Plenty Times, 17 April 1912, Page 5 SUDDEN DEATH OF MR W. HARRAY. Quite a shock was caused in the communities of Te Puke and Tauranga last evening, when the news was made known that Mr William Harray, most highly respected settler of Te Puke had died suddenly on his farm on No 1 Road. It appears that Mr Harray was assisting with chaff-cutting operations and was standing on the remainder of the stack, about 2ft high late in the afternoon, when he was seen by Mr Bradford to suddenly stagger and fall, dying in a few moments. The late Mr Harray was born in the Orkney Islands. Many years ago he came out to New Zealand, and prior to settling in Te Puke had resided in the Waikato. His farming operations were attended with much success, and his homestead on the No. 1 road is one of the model farms of the Bay of Plenty. He was also the owner of a large bush property in the southern portion of the Te Puke Block, and also held a large area of land at Maunganui in the neighborhood (sic) of the railway terminus. As a settler it may be said he was almost without a compeer. He was ever to the fore in assisting every project that had for its aim the advancement of the Te Puke district, and no public function there way considered complete without the presence of Mr Harray. He took the keenest interest in public affairs, and while he had the courage of his convictions, and was not afraid to express them, he was always generous enough to give the other side a "fair show.' The success of the Te Puke branch of the Farmers' Union was very largely due to the energetic services rendered by Mr Harray in the position of secretary. In Show matters he was always to the fore and at one time held the position of president of the Te Puke A. and P. Association. He was a Justice of the Peace, and for a period represented the Te Puke Riding on the Tauranga County Council, and had also been a member of the Te Puke Road Board. He took a live interest in railway affairs and was actively associated with the agitation which resulted in the commencement of the railway in these parts. The late Mr Harray possessed a most genial disposition and was a man of the highest integrity. His word was his bond and he was indeed a "white man" in the truest acceptance of the term. Te Puke in particular, and the Dominion in general, is the poorer by his death, and his removal by the Great Reaper leaves a gap in the ranks of Te Puke setters that will indeed be hard to fill. Deceased leaves to mourn their loss a widow, and family of three sons and one daughter, all grown-up. The eldest son is Mr Thomas Harray, who for some years was in Mr H. A. Sharp's office, but who now occupies a responsible position in the Auckland office of Messrs Sargood, Son and Ewen. He had been spending a holiday at home, and only left for Auckland by the Aupouri last night. The two other sons - John and William -were associated with their father in his farming operations. The sympathy of hundreds of acquaintances in Te Puke, and Tauranga will go out to Mrs Harray and family in their heavy and sudden bereavement. The funeral will leave deceased 's late residence, Te Puke, at 3 p.m, tomorrow (Thursday).	Harray, William Flett (I56657)
