SUDDEN DEATHS.
HON. E. V. LUTTRELL
The Hon. Edwin Valentine Luttrell, the well-known and popular veterinary surgeon, passed away suddenly yesterday. He was attending a cow at Mr D. Dinan''s place at Waerenga-a-hika, and atfer working at it for some time he was relieved by Mr J. Linklater. Mr Luttrell stood aside, smoking, and directing Mr Linklater what to do. About twenty minutes later Mr Luttrell fell backwards. He was spoken to, but did not reply. Dr Collins was sent for, and on his arrival he could only pronounce life to be extinct. Deceased had been in poor health of late. Death was due to natural causes. The late Mr Luttrell, who was the fifth son of the Earl of Carahampton, leaves a widow and grown up family, for whom much sympathy will be felt. He was 67 years of age. The deceased gentleman was highly esteemed and beloved by all who knew him. He came to New Zealand in the year 1863, and served in the war against the Maoris, and during the campaign against Te Kooti. He was veterinary surgeon in the Tauranga cavalry, and on several occasions despatch rider at great risk to his life. The honorable gentleman was chosen to muster all the white women and children at Tauranga, and had them conveyed on board the steamer Tauranga, and called the roll in order to ascertain that not a white woman was left behind so great was the anxiety owing to the threatened attitude of the Natives. The steamer cleared from her moorings forthwith on her way to Auckland, and for 18 months not a white woman, with the exception of Mrs Harrington, Colonel Harrington''s wife, was seen in Tauranga. The deceased gentleman came to Poverty Bay in the latter part of the year 1871, where he remained ever since, following up his profession as veterinary surgeon, and he was looked upon as one of the cleverest men at his profession in the Dominion. He was highly respected by all who knew him, and his death is a great blow to those who are left to mourn his loss. He leaves a widow and a grown-up family of three sons and two daughters, Mrs J. K. Mclntosh and Mrs F. H. Buscke (sic).
Colonel Porter, C.B., informs us that he was first acquainted with the late Mr Luttrell in the Urewera and Taupo campaigns in 1869. He was then a smart young veterinary officer attached to the Tauranga Cavalry, a troop of which, together with the Opotiki Cavalry, formed part of the Transport Corps Escort, of which Colonel Porter was placed in command by Colonel Whitmore. Mr Luttrell narrowly escaped the disaster at Opape in June 1869?, when Te Kooti and his people, escaping from the Urewera country to Waikato, fell in with an escort post at Opape and the whole of the escort were killed, excepting Lieutenant Smith and Sergeant Dette, who escaped wounded. Mr Luttrell at that time was to have been one of the escort, but he undertook to carry a despatch which was at the time regarded as a duty attended with much more danger. He was looked upon as a smart, and efficient officer, always ready to undertake any hazardous duty without a murmur. He came and settled in Poverty Bay about two years after the above-mentioned.
