OBITUARY
MR JOHN FRANCIS JOLL.
There passed away at his residence in Arun street this morning Mr John Francis Joll, aged 54 years, after a protracted but patiently borne illness. Mr Joll was born in Dunedin, a son of the late Mr and Mrs George Joll, and as a boy came to Oamaru, where he has resided practically all his life, with the exception of two periods during which he made trips to the Homeland. His early education was received at the Oamaru North and Ngapara School. On leaving school Mr Joll took up clerical work. He was for six years a clerk in Messrs Craig and Co. and also for a period the local branch of the National Mortgage and Agency Co. After being a piano salesman for a time, Mr Joll took up sharebroking, which business he followed for the last ten years of his life. Before taking up business on his own account Mr Joll was a partner of Mr Mackissack and later of Mr D.V.G. Smith. Some years ago he was appointed a country member of the Dunedin Stock Exchange. In all his business, dealings he established a reputation for probity and integrity, and, consequently he made a host of friends by whom he will be greatly missed. Mr Joll was a member of the Loyal Alfred Lodge I.O.O.F. for from 18 to 20 years, and in his younger days he took a keen interest in lodge affairs. He was also a member of Wesley Church and, while he was able, took a keen interest in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the church. He was a trustee of the church up to the time of his death. Mr Joll's chief interests were as already mentioned, his health since the year of his majority precluding his taking any active part or interest in sport, but despite the handicap of ill-health he always showed a cheerful demeanour and an optimistic spirit, and at no time in his life were these admirable characteristics more evident than in his last long illness, which he bore with great fortitude. Mr Joll is survived by his widow, and one son, Mr Gilbert Joll
