Late Mr. Hugo

Thirty-six Years in Samoa.

MR. HUGO GEBAUER, who died in Apia last month, had been a resi dent of Samoa since 1882.

Born in Prussia, he came to Apia when only 20 years of age and joined the staff of the D.H. and P.G. with which he was associated till 1897. In 1885 he married Miss Aymann. After leaving the old German concern in which he held for the latter years of his connection with it the position of assistant mana ger, Mr. Gebauer began in business on his own account: but after some years sold out his interest and latterly has been bookkeeper for several Samoan firms. During his long residence in Samoa he was absent only on one occa sion when he went to Tonga on busi ness. He is survived by his widow and three daughters.
