OBITUARY - Mr GEORGE MAGINNESS. At his residence at Sockburn on Tuesday evening the death occurred of Mr George Maginness, clerk and engineer of the Paparua County Council. Mr Maginness, who was 58 years of age, was better known in this district as chairman of the Springs-Ellesmere Electric Power Board, of which he had been a keenly interested member for many years, being one of the representatives of the Paparua and adjoining districts. Mr Maginness was also well-known as a successful exhibitor in the pony and cob sections at the agricultural and pastoral shows throughout Canterbury.
Mr Maginness first started as a school teacher, and for a time was employed at the Sydenham School. Later he was transferred to the North Island, and while he was working there he married Miss May Simpson, of Christchurch.
In 1905 he returned to the South Island and became clerk to the Templeton Road Board. When, however, this road board became amalgamated with the Prebbleton Road Board, and merged into the Paparua County, Mr Maginness was appointed clerk and engineer to the county. He had many interests outside his work and was a member of many public bodies in Christchurc.
Mr Maginness is survived by his widow and two daughter, Miss Dorothy Maginness, who is an assistant lecturer at Canterbury University College, and Miss Joyce Maginness, who is in England at present.
