Death Of Mr. Milton Craig

Last of Three Brothers Who Brought London To Fiji

Suva, Oct. 20.

MR. MILTON CRAIG, the last survivor of three brothers who came to Fiji about 50 years ago, died in October at Lodoni, at the age of 83.

After living at Levuka, the brothers bought land at Tailevu, close to the Fijian town which had been established on the Viti Levu coast by the late Ratu Kadavu Levu, Roko Tui Tailevu. They persuaded the Roko Tui to name the place Lodoni (London), and it is now well known to travellers as the terminal of the launch service from Levuka to the mainland.

The brothers operated a dairy farm which Mr. Milton Craig sold last year, although he retained the homestead.

He is survived by relatives in England. •His wife (formerly Mrs. Matilda Camp bell, nee Boehm) died several years ago.
