Mr. A. W. Heron

It is with deep regret that we have to announce the death of Mr. Arthur William Heron at the Kowloon Hospital yesterday after a brief illness at the age of 60.

The late Mr. Heron came out to the East about 35 years ago and was first attached to the Peninsular and Oriental Lines. Later he joined the firm of Messrs. Jardine Matheson and after serving them for some time he joined the Hong Kong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co. Ltd., from which firm he retired in 1933 after being with them for many years.

Of a genial disposition, the late Mr. Heron was widely known and his demise will be sadly regretted by a wide circle of friends who had known him in the course of business and social activities.

The deceased hailed from Uxbridge and leaves behind two married daughters to mourn his death. One of them, Mrs. O. F. Hamilton, resides in the Colony, and the other, Mrs. E. J. Spiers, is at present in England. The funeral takes place this evening, passing the Monument at 5.30 p.m.
