The death took place at Devonport yesterday of a very old resident in the person of Mr. Francis Woodhouse, in his 81st year. The deceased landed in Tasmania as a boy over 70 years ago, and lived during the whole of the time at Don and Devonport. He first resided at Don, and then, when Devonport came into prominence, he shifted to that centre, married and reared a large family. He enjoyed robust health until quite recently. He leaves a widow, four sons and three daughters to mourn their loss. The sons are Messrs. J. Woodhouse (Launceston), Fred. Woodhouse (Burnie), L. Woodhouse (Newtown), and Alf. Woodhouse, who is a member of the crew of the steamer Kokiri, while the daughters are Mesdames W. H. Reid (Devonport), F. Pearson (Ulverstone), and Miss Woodhouse (Devonport). The funeral will leave the residence, Wenvoe Street, to day.
