We regret to hear that Mr. E. Cleaver of the Don Hotel, continues in a bad way, his heart being very weak, and his relatives and friends have grave fears as to the outcome. That careful tending may yet pull him through will be the wish of all who are acquainted with him, for he is as highly respected as he is generally known in the district.

General regret was expressed in Devonport yesterday when it became known that Mr. Edward Cleaver had passed away between 2 and 3 o’clock on Sunday afternoon, at his residence, the Don Hotel, although his demise was not unexpected. The deceased gentleman, who was 50 years of age, was, we believe, a native of Launceston, where his father in the long ago carried on a tailoring business, but the late Mr. Cleaver had been a resident of this district for nearly 20 years, coming here from the Western Midlands. For some 4 years he carried on the business of a brewer at the Don, about 12 years ago relinquishing that to become the licensee of the Don Hotel, where he resided (except for an interval of 12 months when he lived on his property near Ulverstone) up to the time of his death, liked and respected by all who came in contact with him. A sister of his, in the person of Mrs. T. P. Cowle, of Devonport, predeceased him some years ago, and he leaves a widow and one child – Mrs. E. Norris – to mourn their loss.

The funeral of the late Mr. E. Cleaver took place on Monday afternoon, the remains being interred in St. Olave’s Cemetery, at Don. There was not a large attendance, due, in a manner to uncertainty as to when the last sad rites would be performed, and, partly to the fact that many of those who would have liked to pay a tribute of respect to the deceased gentleman were busy in the potato or grain field. The Rev. J. E. M. Roche was officiating clergyman.
